This document provides an overview of graph algorithms and how they can be used with Neo4j. It discusses how graph algorithms can extract structure and infer behavior from networked data. It covers categories of graph algorithms like pathfinding, centrality measures, community detection, and similarity measures. The document demonstrates how these algorithms can be used through Neo4j to enhance applications, like using PageRank and personalized PageRank on a business reviews dataset. It provides examples of graph algorithms and discusses how they can be accessed and run through Neo4j.
