The Case for Knowledge Graphs: Private vs. Public Graphs
By Paco Nathan
It’s an interesting time to be working with knowledge graphs. A time of stark contrasts in realizations. On the one hand, I talk with many people who would otherwise be quite expert about machine learning use cases who say, “Yeah, well, no one really uses knowledge graphs in production.” On the other hand, there are…

5 Questions with Michael Atkin
By François Scharffe
1. Tell us about yourself. I have a strange and sordid history. I’ve been an analyst and advocate for data management since 1985. I started with publishers–the owners of intellectual property–as they discovered concepts associated with the principles of data management. After publishing, I concentrated my efforts on the financial industry, learning how data goes…

Geo Graphs in Government
By Paco Nathan
When it comes to early-adopters for AI technology, U.S. federal government agencies may not be the first examples that come to mind. My perspective is skewed since my first full-time job using email, internetworking, data visualization, inference, etc., were in the U.S. Army and NASA in the 1980s. Since then I’ve had other roles in…

Focus: Knowledge Graphs for Food
By François Scharffe
Dan Barber, the James Beard award-winning chef who pioneered the farm-to-table movement, has a single, elegant term for the complexity of molecules, processes, and sequences that underpins great food: flavor. Like great chefs, computer scientists grapple with complexity, seeking elegant ways to model and analyze increasingly complex–or perhaps, flavorful–phenomena. Across many business verticals, we are…
