Graph Data Modeling In Python

Graph Data Modeling in Python

Learn how to transform, store, evolve, refactor, model, and create graph projections using the Python programming language Purchase of the print or Kindle book includes a free PDF eBook Key Features Transform relational data models into graph data model while learning key applications along the way Discover common challenges in graph modeling and analysis, and learn how to overcome them Practice real-world use cases of community detection, knowledge graph, and recommendation network Book Description Graphs have become increasingly integral to powering the products and services we use in our daily lives, driving social media, online shopping recommendations, and even fraud detection. With this book, you'll see how a good graph data model can help enhance efficiency and unlock hidden insights through complex network analysis. Graph Data Modeling in Python will guide you through designing, implementing, and harnessing a variety of graph data models using the popular open source Python libraries NetworkX and igraph. Following practical use cases and examples, you'll find out how to design optimal graph models capable of supporting a wide range of queries and features. Moreover, you'll seamlessly transition from traditional relational databases and tabular data to the dynamic world of graph data structures that allow powerful, path-based analyses. As well as learning how to manage a persistent graph database using Neo4j, you'll also get to grips with adapting your network model to evolving data requirements. By the end of this book, you'll be able to transform tabular data into powerful graph data models. In essence, you'll build your knowledge from beginner to advanced-level practitioner in no time. What you will learn Design graph data models and master schema design best practices Work with the NetworkX and igraph frameworks in Python Store, query, ingest, and refactor graph data Store your graphs in memory with Neo4j Build and work with projections and put them into practice Refactor schemas and learn tactics for managing an evolved graph data model Who this book is for If you are a data analyst or database developer interested in learning graph databases and how to curate and extract data from them, this is the book for you. It is also beneficial for data scientists and Python developers looking to get started with graph data modeling. Although knowledge of Python is assumed, no prior experience in graph data modeling theory and techniques is required.

Graph Algorithms

Discover how graph algorithms can help you leverage the relationships within your data to develop more intelligent solutions and enhance your machine learning models. You’ll learn how graph analytics are uniquely suited to unfold complex structures and reveal difficult-to-find patterns lurking in your data. Whether you are trying to build dynamic network models or forecast real-world behavior, this book illustrates how graph algorithms deliver value—from finding vulnerabilities and bottlenecks to detecting communities and improving machine learning predictions. This practical book walks you through hands-on examples of how to use graph algorithms in Apache Spark and Neo4j—two of the most common choices for graph analytics. Also included: sample code and tips for over 20 practical graph algorithms that cover optimal pathfinding, importance through centrality, and community detection. Learn how graph analytics vary from conventional statistical analysis Understand how classic graph algorithms work, and how they are applied Get guidance on which algorithms to use for different types of questions Explore algorithm examples with working code and sample datasets from Spark and Neo4j See how connected feature extraction can increase machine learning accuracy and precision Walk through creating an ML workflow for link prediction combining Neo4j and Spark
