Graph Algorithms: Practical Examples in Apache Spark and Neo4j

Specs

Summary

Whether you are building dynamic network models or forecasting real-world behavior, this book illustrates how graph algorithms deliver value: from finding vulnerabilities and bottlenecks to detecting communities and improving machine learning predictions.

Harness the power of over 60 graph algorithms with the Neo4j Graph Data Science (GDS) Library, available here.

We walk you through hands-on examples of how to use graph algorithms in Apache Spark and Neo4j. We include sample code and tips for over 20 practical graph algorithms that cover optimal pathfinding, importance through centrality, and community detection using methods like clustering and partitioning.
