Fireside Chat:

Harnessing the Potential of Graph Powered Machine Learning with Jörg Schad

Many powerful Machine Learning algorithms are based on graphs, e.g., Page Rank (Pregel), Recommendation Engines (collaborative filtering), text summarization, and other NLP tasks. Also, the recent developments with Graph Neural Networks connect the worlds of Graphs and Machine Learning even further.

Demos:

ArangoBnB with Chris Woodward

Chris Woodward provides a sneak peek at the ArangoBnB project being created with the community. This project is a Fullstack JavaScript web app that is being developed to showcase the upcoming ArangoSearch GeoJSON features.

Featured Community Talk

Lessons learned: Creating a complete ERP-System with ArangoDB ft. Richard Burkhardt

In 2017 we started to develop an ERP-System for a large-scale caterer from scratch. Our goal was to make it possible to let around 50k customers and around 300 employees interact with this system in a reactive way and without caching or any other performance tricks. We are happy that we found ArangoDB, but had to start without any experience. This talk will be about the mistakes, the experience, and the success story.

Fireside Chat:

Going Above and Beyond with ArangoSearch with Chris Woodward

In this talk, we deep dive into ArangoDB’s built-in search engine ArangoSearch. We look at the underlying informational retrieval concepts that make ArangoSearch so powerful. We will see how to configure analyzers, set up Views, and how to perform federated full-text search queries across multiple collections.

Demos:

Kubernetes Meets Graphs with Jörg Schad

Learn how Kube-Arango makes deploying and managing ArangoDB on Kubernetes a breeze.

AQL for eCommerce Analytics with Jackson Reimers

Showcasing various AQL queries to analyze an eCommerce dataset for common questions in retail.

Fireside Chat:

ArangoDB’s role in Data Analytics and Semantic Spacetime

In this talk, professor Mark Burgess explains why rich property graphs (rather than, say, neural networks) are under-appreciated as tools for machine learning, and why ArangoDB itself is uniquely suited to scaling these two key aspects of process (semantics, dynamics) in a unified picture.

Demos:

Fuzzy Search with Chris Woodward

In this talk, we deep dive ArangoSearch’s Fuzzy Search capabilities by investigating the various Levenshtein functions available with AQL.

Knowledge Graphs with Chris Woodward

An overview of Knowledge Graphs as well as the existing tools for dealing with semantic data, and some of the challenges with working with this type of structured data in property graphs.
