As part of my series about the women leading the Artificial Intelligence industry, I had the pleasure of interviewing Amy Hodler, a network science devotee, AI and Graph Analytics Program Manager at Neo4j, and a co-author of the O’Reilly book, “Graph Algorithms: Practical Examples in Apache Spark and Neo4j.” She promotes the use of graph analytics to reveal structures within real-world networks and predict dynamic behavior. Amy helps teams apply novel approaches to generate new opportunities at companies such as EDS, Microsoft, Hewlett-Packard (HP), Hitachi IoT, and Cray Inc. Amy has a love for science and art with a fascination for complexity studies and graph theory.
