ArangoBnB: Data Preparation Case Study

00GeneralTags: , , , ,

Estimated reading time: 19 minutes

This case study covers a data exploration and analysis scenario about modeling data when migrating to ArangoDB. The topics covered in this case study include:

  • Importing data into ArangoDB
  • Developing Application Requirements before modeling
  • Data Analysis and Exploration with AQL

This case study can hopefully be used as a guide as it shows step-by-step instructions and discusses the motivations in exploring and transforming data in preparation for a real-world application.
The information contained in this case study is derived from the development of the ArangoBnB project; a community project developed in JavaScript that is always open to new contributors. The project is an Airbnb clone with a Vue frontend and a React frontend being developed in parallel by the community. It is not necessary to download the project or be familiar with JavaScript for this guide. To see how we are using the data in a real-world project, check out the repository.

ArangoML Series: Multi-Model Collaboration

00ArangoML, General, Graphs, Machine LearningTags: , , ,

Estimated reading time: 8 minutes

Multi-Model Machine Learning

This article looks at how a team collaborating on a real-world machine learning project benefits from using a multi-model database for capturing ML meta-data.

The specific points discussed in this article are how:

  • The graph data model is superior to relational for ML meta-data storage.
  • Storing ML experiment objects is natural with multi-model.
  • ArangoML promotes collaboration due to the flexibility of multi-model.
  • ArangoML provides ops logging and performance analysis.

ArangoML Series: Intro to NetworkX Adapter

00ArangoML, General, Graphs, how to, Machine LearningTags: , , , , ,

Estimated reading time: 3 minutes

This post is the fifth in a series of posts introducing the ArangoML features and tools. This post introduces the NetworkX adapter, which makes it easy to analyze your graphs stored in ArangoDB with NetworkX.

In this post we:

  • Briefly introduce NetworkX
  • Explore the IMDB user rating dataset
  • Showcase the ArangoDB integration of NetworkX
  • Explore the centrality measures of the data using NetworkX
  • Store the experiment with arangopipe

This notebook is just a slice of the full-sized notebook available in the ArangoDB NetworkX adapter repository. It is summarized here to better fit the blog post format and provide a quick introduction to using the NetworkX adapter.
