Description

Gain Insights with Graph Analytics
Title: AskTOM Office Hours: Gain Insights with Graph Analytics

Held on May 31, 2018

In this session, we revealed the magic of graphs. Graph analysis can answer questions like detecting patterns of fraud or identifying influential customers, quickly and efficiently. With our 50+ prebuilt graph analytics, you can easily add graphs to your Oracle application, without being a graph expert.

Albert showed the Java API for graph analytics, and tools and code to invoke them (including Groovy shell and Zeppelin notebooks). Zhe then showed these in practice with 2 use case examples: a retail product recommender system, and a finance fraud detection system to identify circular payments.

Highlights:

00:00 – Welcome, the story so far. Jean recaps previous sessions (graph intro, architecture, use cases)

07:40 - APIs for graph analytics. Albert shows the “how”: tools/code to invoke graph analytic functions, including how to access the Java API from:

09:10 - Groovy shell
11:20 - Zeppelin notebooks
25:55 - PGQL query language

25:14 - List of the 50+ prebuilt graph analytic functions in Oracle Spatial and Graph, and their applications

28:20 - Graph Analytics in practice. Zhe shows the “what”: use cases and demos. Which graph analytics should we use, how do we invoke them, and what do the results look like? The use cases:

28:30 - Build a recommender system for retail, to recommend products that specific customers are likely to want
46:36 - Circular payment fraud detection – a real world finance use case from a Chinese tax authority
