| Dec 1, 2025 | AWS re:Invent 2025 | AWS re:Invent | workshop | Unlock intelligent AI with MCP powered agentic Neptune graph reasoning [REPEAT] as Amazon Web Services In this hands-on workshop build powerful generative AI applications by combining the capabilities of Amazon Neptune, generative AI, LLMs, and Model Context…Show lessIn this hands-on workshop build powerful generative AI applications by combining the capabilities of Amazon Neptune, generative AI, LLMs, and Model Context Protocol (MCP). | |
| Dec 1, 2025 | AWS re:Invent 2025 | AWS re:Invent | builders session | Use GraphRAG with Amazon Neptune to improve generative AI applications [REPEAT] as Amazon Web Services Retrieval Augmented Generation (RAG) applications use the power of generative AI to analyze private datasets. GraphRAG combines knowledge graphs with RAG to…Show lessRetrieval Augmented Generation (RAG) applications use the power of generative AI to analyze private datasets. GraphRAG combines knowledge graphs with RAG to produce explainable responses that are grounded in the semantic relationships between concepts, entities, and the underlying content. | |
| Dec 1, 2025 | AWS re:Invent 2025 | AWS re:Invent | chalk talk | Use serverless knowledge graphs for hybrid search with Amazon Neptune as Amazon Web Services In this chalk talk, explore how to build a scalable serverless hybrid search application that combines vectors and graph data. Learn how this approach empowers…Show lessIn this chalk talk, explore how to build a scalable serverless hybrid search application that combines vectors and graph data. Learn how this approach empowers you to leverage the benefits of vector-based search with the rich relationships defined in graphs to provide more comprehensive and explainable answers. | |
| Dec 2, 2024 | AWS re:Invent 2024 | AWS re:Invent | workshop | Build a gen AI application using knowledge graphs in Amazon Neptune as AWS In this workshop, build an application to query your domain-specific, differentiated, and highly related datasets using natural language. | |

| Nov 28, 2022 | AWS re:Invent 2022 | AWS re:Invent | chalk talk | Use graphs to perform fraud analysis with Amazon Neptune and Neptune ML as AWS Amazon Neptune is a fast, reliable, fully managed graph database service that makes it easy to build and run applications that work with highly connected…Show lessAmazon Neptune is a fast, reliable, fully managed graph database service that makes it easy to build and run applications that work with highly connected datasets. Purpose-built to store and navigate relationships, graph databases can be used to store fraud graphs, which contain information on how actors, transactions, and other identifiers are related to each other. | Slides |
| Jun 13, 2022 | Data Day Texas 2022 | Data Day Texas | speaker | A gentle introduction to using graph neural networks on knowledge graphs as Amazon Web Services Knowledge graphs are a hot topic in the enterprise data space but they often suffer from a lack of rich connections within the data. Graph neural networks…Show lessKnowledge graphs are a hot topic in the enterprise data space but they often suffer from a lack of rich connections within the data. Graph neural networks (GNNs) can help fill this gap by using the structure of connections within the data to predict new connections. | |
| Nov 29, 2021 | AWS re:Invent 2021 | AWS re:Invent | chalk talk | Get more information from graphs using Amazon Neptune ML as AWS Machine learning techniques can help find hidden correlations in graphs with billions of relationships. These correlations can be useful when recommending…Show lessMachine learning techniques can help find hidden correlations in graphs with billions of relationships. These correlations can be useful when recommending products, predicting creditworthiness, identifying fraud, and more. | Slides |
