Overview of this book

Neo4j 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.

Graph-based search

Graph-based search emerged in 2012, when Google announced its new graph-based search algorithm. It promised more accurate search results, that were closer to a human response to a human question than before. In this section, we are going to talk about the different search methods to understand how graph-based search can be a big improvement for a search engine. We will then discuss the different ways to implement a graph-based search using Neo4j and machine learning.

Search methods

Several search methods have been used since search engines exist in web applications. We can, for instance, think of tags assigned to a blog article that help in classifying the articles and allow to search for articles with a given tag. This method is also used when you assign keywords to a given document. This method is quite simple to implement, but is also very limited: what if you forget an important keyword?

Fortunately, one can also use full-text search, which consists of matching...
