Build a knowledge graph in Amazon Neptune using Data Lens
This is a guest post by Russell Waterson, Knowledge Graph Engineer at Data Lens Ltd. Customers use knowledge graphs to consolidate and integrate information assets and make them more readily available. Building knowledge graphs by getting data from disparate existing data sources can be expensive, time-consuming, and complex. Project planning, project management, engineering, maintenance and […]
Use AWS Lambda functions with Amazon Neptune
Many Amazon Neptune connected data applications for knowledge graphs, identity graphs, and fraud graphs use AWS Lambda functions to query Neptune. This post provides general connection management, error handling, and workload balancing guidance for using any of the popular Gremlin drivers and language variants to connect to Neptune from a Lambda function. The connection management […]
Building a knowledge graph in Amazon Neptune using Amazon Comprehend Events
On 28-Oct-22, the AWS CloudFormation template and Jupyter notebook linked in this post were updated to 1/ add openCypher queries along with the existing Gremlin and SPARQL queries, 2/ updated to use Sagemaker newer Amazon Linux 2 instances, 3/ fixed a bug in the RDF generation code that improperly labeled a property as an RDF […]
Enabling low code graph data apps with Amazon Neptune and Graphistry
One of the common challenges to unlocking the value of graph databases is building easy-to-use, customer-facing data tools that expose graph-powered insights in impactful and visual ways. Data engineers need to inspect data quality, data scientists need to perform discovery and inspect models, analysts need to investigate connections, and managers need insight into what’s going […]
Resetting your graph data in Amazon Neptune in seconds
As an enterprise application developer building graph applications with Amazon Neptune, you may want to delete and reload your graph data on a regular basis to make sure you’re working with the latest changes in your data, such as new relationships between nodes, or to replace test data with production data. In the past, you […]
Building a knowledge graph with topic networks in Amazon Neptune
This is a guest blog post by By Edward Brown, Head of AI Projects, Eduardo Piairo, Architect, Marcia Oliveira, Lead Data Scientist, and Jack Hampson, CEO at Deeper Insights. We originally developed our Amazon Neptune-based knowledge graph to extract knowledge from a large textual dataset using high-level semantic queries. This resource would serve as the […]
How to get started with Neptune ML
Amazon Neptune ML is an easy, fast, and accurate approach for predictions on graphs. In this post, we show you how you can easily set up Neptune ML and infer properties of vertices within a graph. For our use case, we have a movie streaming application and we want to infer the the top genres […]
Announcing Amazon Neptune ML: Easy, fast, and accurate predictions on graphs
We’re thrilled to announce the availability of Amazon Neptune ML, an easy, fast, and accurate approach for predictions on graphs. Neptune ML is a new capability that uses graph neural networks (GNNs), a machine learning (ML) technique purpose-built for graphs. With GNNs, you can improve the accuracy of most predictions for graphs by over 50% […]
Building a biological knowledge graph at Pendulum using Amazon Neptune
At Pendulum, we combine state-of-the-art genome sequencing, cell culturing, and manufacturing processes to produce Pendulum Glucose Control, the only medical probiotic clinically shown to lower blood glucose spikes for the dietary management of type 2 diabetes through the gut microbiome. Research and development at Pendulum requires the synthesis of a diverse set of rich data and information streams, and this year we undertook a project to aggregate much of our data into a single database, the Pendulum knowledge graph, which integrates publicly available information on bacterial metabolism with the DNA sequencing data we generate for our strains.
Exploring Apache TinkerPop 3.4.8’s new features in Amazon Neptune
Amazon Neptune engine version 1.0.4.0 supports Apache TinkerPop 3.4.8, which introduces some new features and bug fixes. This post outlines these features, like the new elementMap() step and the improved behavior for working with map instances, and provides some examples to demonstrate their capabilities with Neptune. Upgrading your drivers to 3.4.8 should be straightforward and typically require no changes to your Gremlin code.
