Ever wondered what knowledge graphs are and why they're gaining so much attention in AI? In this talk, we'll cover what knowledge graphs do, how they work, and how they help solve tricky tasks like finding connections in data, making sense of vast data sets, and providing context for complex AI queries. We'll dive into their role in retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) applications, where they bring a fresh approach to picking the best document chunks—a method called graph-RAG. You'll see exactly where knowledge graphs fit into the RAG process and how they compare to the usual vector similarity searches. Whether you're using Oracle AI products, Python, or another tech stack, we'll show you how to bring knowledge graphs into your workflows. By the end, you'll have a new tool in your AI toolkit that's ready to add serious value.
