Graph RAG Overview - Graph RAG aims to enhance LLMs by incorporating knowledge graphs, addressing limitations like lack of domain knowledge, unverifiable answers, hallucinations, and biases [1][3][4][5][9][10] - Graph RAG leverages knowledge graphs (collections of nodes, relationships, and properties) to provide more relevant, contextual, and explainable results compared to basic RAG systems using vector databases [8][9][10][12][13][14] - Microsoft research indicates Graph RAG can achieve better results with lower token costs, supported by studies showing improvements in capabilities and analyst trends [15][16] Knowledge Graph Construction - Knowledge graph construction involves structuring unstructured information, extracting entities and relationships, and enriching the graph with algorithms [19][20][21][22] - Lexical graphs represent documents and elements (chunks, sections, paragraphs) with relationships based on document structure, temporal sequence, and similarity [25][26] - Entity extraction utilizes LLMs with graph schemas to identify entities and relationships from text, potentially integrating with existing knowledge graphs or structured data like CRM systems [27][28][29][30] - Graph algorithms (clustering, link prediction, page rank) enrich the knowledge graph, enabling cross-document topic identification and summarization [20][30][34] Graph RAG Retrieval and Applications - Graph RAG retrieval involves initial index search (vector, full text, hybrid) followed by traversing relationships to fetch additional context, considering user context for tailored results [32][33] - Modern LLMs are increasingly trained on graph processing, allowing them to effectively utilize node-relationship-node patterns provided as context [34] - Tools and libraries are available for knowledge graph construction from various sources (PDFs, YouTube transcripts, web articles), with open-source options for implementation [35][36][39][43][45] - Agentic approaches in Graph RAG break down user questions into tasks, using domain-specific retrievers and tools in sequence or loops to generate comprehensive answers and visualizations [42][44] - Industry leaders are adopting Graph RAG for production applications, such as LinkedIn's customer support, which saw a 286% reduction in median per-issue resolution time [17][18]

Problem Statement & Solution - Current memory frameworks struggle with relevance, leading to inaccurate responses or hallucinations due to the storage of arbitrary facts [3][4][5] - Semantic similarity does not equate to business relevance, as vector databases lack causal or relational understanding [7] - The industry needs domain-aware memory solutions instead of relying solely on better semantic search [8] - Zep offers a solution by enabling developers to model memory after their specific business domain, creating more cogent and capable memory [1][2] Zep's Implementation & Features - Zep allows developers to define custom entities and edges within its graph framework, tailoring memory to specific business objects [1][9] - Developers can use Pydantic, Zod, or Go structs to define business rules for these entities and their fields [9][10] - Zep's SDK allows defining entity types with descriptions and business rules for fields, enabling precise control over data stored [10] - Zep allows building tools for agents to retrieve financial snapshots by running multiple searches concurrently and filtering by specific node types [10][11] - Zep's front end provides a knowledge graph visualization, allowing users to see the relationships and fields defined for each entity [12] Demonstration & Use Case - A finance coach application demonstrates Zep's ability to store explicit business objects like financial goals, debts, and income sources [8][9] - The application captures relevant information, such as a $5,000 monthly rent, and stores it as a debt account entity with defined fields [11][12]

Hi everyone, my name is Iman. I'm a digital content creator and over the years I've built a community of people who resonate with my everyday daily humor, um moments that make life relatable and other stuff. So, uh my journey in content creation hasn't always been a straight straight path.It's still not a straight path and there have been a lot of ups and downs and uh I would like to talk about that. So my journey started on Tik Tok which is a short video sharing platform and I used to create a lot of relat ...
