Hands-On Graph Analytics with Neo4j: Perform graph processing and visualization techniques using connected data across your enterprise

Rate this book
Discover how to use Neo4j to identify relationships within complex and large graph datasets using graph modeling, graph algorithms, and machine learning

Key FeaturesGet up and running with graph analytics with the help of real-world examplesExplore various use cases such as fraud detection, graph-based search, and recommendation systemsGet to grips with the Graph Data Science library with the help of examples, and use Neo4j in the cloud for effective application scalingBook DescriptionNeo4j is a graph database that includes plugins to run complex graph algorithms.

The book starts with an introduction to the basics of graph analytics, the Cypher query language, and graph architecture components, and helps you to understand why enterprises have started to adopt graph analytics within their organizations. You’ll find out how to implement Neo4j algorithms and techniques and explore various graph analytics methods to reveal complex relationships in your data. You’ll be able to implement graph analytics catering to different domains such as fraud detection, graph-based search, recommendation systems, social networking, and data management. You’ll also learn how to store data in graph databases and extract valuable insights from it. As you become well-versed with the techniques, you’ll discover graph machine learning in order to address simple to complex challenges using Neo4j. You will also understand how to use graph data in a machine learning model in order to make predictions based on your data. Finally, you’ll get to grips with structuring a web application for production using Neo4j.

By the end of this book, you’ll not only be able to harness the power of graphs to handle a broad range of problem areas, but you’ll also have learned how to use Neo4j efficiently to identify complex relationships in your data.

Good introduction

This book offers a solid introduction to Neo4j. It sometimes gets off track, getting into the weeds of topics like user authentication in Flask, but overall it's worth the read if you want to learn about graph databases. Code examples use a range of languages, including Cypher, JavaScript, Python, and even SparQL.

If you only read one book on Neo4j this should be the one. Filled with mostly practical use-cases and peppered with just enough theory. This book will get you up and running by the 1st chapter. You can branch out from there into books with deeper theory if you want.
