Abstract: 

You’ve probably heard that graph databases are a major trend in data science and analytics, and you may have wondered how to translate the buzz into business value.

In this session, you’ll learn about the fundamentals of graph data science: what graphs are, how they can be incorporated into your analytics practice, and how a connected data platform can help you move from proof of concept to production.

We will highlight real-world use cases from leading enterprise companies including fraud, recommendations, and supply chain optimization. You’ll discover how it’s possible to translate state of the science techniques into practical business value across multiple industries and use cases.
