5. The video from David Allen and Amy Hodler‘s Spark
Summit talk about Neo4j Morpheus is now available. In the
talk they explain this upcoming tool which will make it
possible to weave together graph
and relational data in Apache
Spark.

6. English -> Cypher using a neural network
Read the blog post
In David Mack‘s latest post he shows how to translate
English to Cypher using the magic of sequence-to-sequence
translation. The trained model is able to perform
reasoning tasks such as recalling properties
of objects, counting, finding shortest paths,
and determining if two objects have a
relationship.

7. Dr Jim Webber has started a series of videos where he
explains the data structures and algorithms used by Neo4j.
He starts with a look at linked lists, trees,
and hash maps.

8. This week from the Neo4j Knowledge base we have an
article explaining how deletes work in Neo4j. This article
explains what happens when you delete nodes,
relationships, and properties, and why,
contrary to expectations, you will see the
amount of space taken on the filesystem
increase when doing bulk delete operations.

9. David Allen has created a video in which he demos how to
launch a new Neo4j Causal Cluster on Google Cloud
Platform. This uses the Launcher capability of Google Cloud
along with the Deployment Manager to
deploy a cluster of three Neo4j instances
for highly-scalable graph queries.

10. With the release of Neo4j Bloom last week I made a quick
video showing how to use it to explore the World Cup
Graph. I show how to describe some simple graph patterns,
visually detect England’s hat trick scorers,
and conclude by demonstrating how you
can write your own custom Cypher
queries and expose them as search phrases.
