Abstract: 

Relationships are highly predictive of behavior, yet most data science models overlook this information because it's difficult to extract network structure for use in machine learning (ML). With graphs, relationships are embedded in the data itself, making it practical to add these predictive capabilities to your existing practices. This tech talk will cover different approaches from graph feature engineering, from queries and algorithms to embeddings, and how to generate representations of graph using procedures provided in Neo4j Graph Data Science package to generate graph embeddings, ML models for link prediction or node classification, and apply these models to add missing information to existing data.
