Discovering Emerging Tech through Graph Analysis by Henry Hwangbo.
Description:
With the torrent of data available to us on the Internet, it’s been increasingly difficult to separate the signal from the noise. We set out on a journey with a simple directive: Figure out a way to discover emerging technology trends. Through a series of experiments, trials, and pivots, we found our answer in the power of graph databases. We essentially built our “Emerging Tech Radar” on emerging technologies with graph databases being central to our discovery platform. Using a mix of NoSQL databases and open source libraries we built a scalable information digestion platform which touches upon multiple topics such as NLP, named entity extraction, data cleansing, cypher queries, multiple visualizations, and polymorphic persistence.
Sounds like Henry needs to go stand close to the NSA. 😉
Not really!
Henry’s use case isn’t trying to boil a random ocean of data to see if insights emerge.
Like on slide 19 where he recommends cleaning up data and eliminating duplicates before loading the data.
