Knowledge graphs are essential to many AI and machine learning applications. You can use a knowledge graph to give context and ground an LLM, giving it access to structured data beyond its initial training data.
What are Knowledge Graphs?
Knowledge graphs are a specific implementation of a Graph Database, where information is captured and integrated from many different sources, representing the inherent knowledge of a particular domain.
They provide a structured way to represent entities, their attributes, and their relationships, allowing for a comprehensive and interconnected understanding of the information within that domain.
Knowledge graphs break down sources of information and integrate them, allowing you to see the relationships between the data.
You can tailor knowledge graphs for semantic search, data retrieval, and reasoning.
You may not be familiar with the term knowledge graph, but you have probably used one. Search engines typically use knowledge graphs to provide information about people, places, and things.
The following knowledge graph could represent Neo4j:
This integration from diverse sources gives knowledge graphs a more holistic view and facilitates complex queries, analytics, and insights.
Knowledge graphs can readily adapt and evolve as they grow, taking on new information and structure changes.
In the next task, you will build a simple graph of the course data.
Creating Knowledge Graphs Using LLMs
Large language models can also be used to create knowledge graphs.
Text chunks can be fed to these models which can then extract entities, relationships, and properties from their text.
These can then be used to populate nodes and edges in a knowledge graph.
In the next challenge we will use the Neo4j GraphRAG package for Python to do this.
