Building Advanced RAG Systems With Knowledge Graphs and Neo4j
Building Advanced RAG Systems with Knowledge Graphs and Neo4j In the rapidly evolving landscape of retrieval-augmented generation (RAG), traditional similarity search approaches are being superseded by more sophisticated techniques. This comprehensive guide explores how to combine Neo4j graph databases with vector embeddings to create a revolutionary RAG system that leverages both semantic similarity and structured knowledge representation. The Power of Hybrid Knowledge Graph RAG The true innovation in this approach lies in uniting vector similarity search with graph traversal through Cypher queries. By structuring knowledge as interconnected entities rather than isolated text chunks, we can deliver more precise, contextualized answers to complex questions. This hybrid approach offers several key advantages: - ** Contextual understanding** : Captures relationships between entities - **Multi-hop reasoning **: Follows chains of connections to discover indirect relationships -...
