1 like384 views
The document discusses using graphs and Neo4j to build intelligent solutions. It outlines Neo4j's professional services which include training, solution delivery, and packaged services. Typical technical requirements and a methodology for delivering solutions from use case to implementation are presented. Examples of graph-based solutions and how machine learning can be integrated are provided. Finally, a case study of Adobe migrating from Cassandra to Neo4j is summarized, reducing infrastructure costs significantly.

- 26. Differences between ML and Analytics 26 Machine learning: • Determine domain parameters • Historical-based discoveries • Learn and improve without explicit programming
- 27. Graph analytics: • Uses inherent graph structures • Uncover real-world networks through their connections • Forecast complex network behavior and identify action Differences between ML and Analytics
- 28. Today challenges with Machine Learning: • Doesn’t take multiple relationship hops into account • Takes time to iteratively train a model • Computational inefficiency of connecting data Benefits of Mixing Graph Analytics with ML Graphs bring: • Context to machine learning • Feature filtration • Connected feature extraction
- 29. • Support for many languages (Python, .Net, Java, Go, JavaScript, R, etc.) • Different data integration options • Triggers, event-driven architecture • User-defined functions and procedures Working with your Machine Learning algorithms and Neo4j
- 30. Pathfinding & Search Centrality / Importance Community Detection Similarity & ML Workflow • Parallel Breadth/Depth First Search • Shortest Path • Single-Source Shortest Path • All Pairs Shortest Path • Degree Centrality • Closeness Centrality • Betweenness Centrality • PageRank/Personalized PageRank • Triangle Count • Clustering Coefficients • Connected Components (Union Find) • Strongly Connected Components • Harmonic Closeness Centrality • Dangalchev Closeness Centrality • Wasserman & Faust Closeness Centrality • Approximate Betweenness Centrality • A* Shortest Path • Yen’s K Shortest Path • K-Spanning Tree (MST) • Minimum Spanning Tree • Euclidean Distance • Cosine Similarity • Jaccard Similarity • Label Propagation • Louvain Modularity – 1 Step • Louvain – Multi-Step • Balanced Triad Out of the box Graph Algorithms in Neo4j • Random Walk • One Hot Encoding
- 31. Knowledge graph example: • Using topic finding ML processes (e.g. Latent Dirichlet Allocation) • Feeding the output into a graph database • Search for topics, find related concepts, etc. 31 Graph and Machine Learning Examples Recommendation engine example: • Use ML processes such as collaborative filtering • Enrich graph with the output • Use graph as feedback for future iterations
- 32. Putting it all Together
- 34. Our Neo4j activity implementation has led to a great decrease in complexity, storage, and infrastructure costs. Our full dataset size is now around 40 GB, down from 50 TB of data that we had stored in Cassandra. We’re able to power our entire activity feed infrastructure using a cluster of 3 Neo4j instances, down from 48 Cassandra instances of pretty much equal specs. That has also led to reduced infrastructure costs. Most importantly, it’s been a breeze for our operations staff to manage since the architecture is simple and lean.” David Fox, Adobe, Oct 2018 34 Customer Quote How can Neo4j Services help you to get there?
- 35. Customer Use Case: • Leading online platform to showcase and discover creative work • More than 10 million members • Allows creatives to share their work with millions of daily visitors • Highlights Adobe software used in the creation process • Drives people to the Adobe Creative Cloud • Social platform for discovery, learning, and more 35 Adobe – Project Behance Activity feed: • Mongo DB (2011) - 125 nodes, dataset size of about 20tb (terabytes) • Cassandra (2015) - 48 nodes, dataset size of about 50tb (terabytes) • Neo4j (2018) - 3 nodes, dataset size of 33gb (gigabytes) 5 day BOOTCAMP
