Our new short course, Knowledge Graphs for RAG, is now available! Knowledge graphs are a data structure that is great at capturing complex relationships between data of multiple types. By enabling more sophisticated retrieval of text than similarity search alone, knowledge graphs can improve the context you pass to the LLM and the performance of your RAG applications.
In this course, taught by @akollegger of @neo4j, you’ll
- Explore how knowledge graphs work by building a graph of public financial documents from scratch
- Learn to write queries that retrieve text and data from the graph and use it to enhance the context you pass to an LLM chatbot
- Combine a knowledge graph with a question-answer chain to build better RAG-powered chat systems
