Is My Brain a Knowledge Graph? A Human Take on Connecting the Dots

Session Track: AI Engineering

Session Time: 09:30 pm - 10:00 pm November 6

Session description

What happens when you connect Napoleon, ABBA, and me in one rich, full-of-meaning sentence? Is that just quirky trivia or a deeply human knowledge graph? In this talk, I'll explore how our brains naturally link people, places, and ideas, and why graphs aren't just technical tools but reflections of how we think. Drawing on real-life anecdotes, memory science, and a dash of humor, we'll reimagine what it means to "query" our stories, with love.

Knowledge Architect

Ramona is a Neo4j Certified Professional with a passion for the human side of technology. She blends technical expertise with an insatiable curiosity about how our minds naturally create connections. When not architecting data solutions, she's exploring the cognitive science behind our natural "knowledge graphs." Ramona's approach bridges the gap between rigid technical systems and the beautiful messiness of human thinking. Through her podcast and speaking engagements, she invites others to see technology through a more human lens, finding patterns in the chaos and meaning in the mundane.
