Machine Learning and Link Prediction

Featuring Mark Needham

Machine learning uses algorithms to train software through specific examples and progressive improvements based on expected outcome. However, traditional data structures can fail to detect behavior without the contextual information because they lack the strongest predictors of behavior -...

Featuring Mark Needham

When Mark Needham first started learning Python he came across the NetworkX library and always enjoyed using it to run graph algorithms against my toy datasets.

Strava

Featuring Mark Needham

Mark is an avid runner and tracks his run using the popular Strava application. In this talk we'll learn how to load data into Neo4j using APOC's Load JSON procedure and then slice and dice the data using the temporal datatype released in Neo4j 3.4.

Python Dependencies
