Abstract: With the assistance of Neo4j's graph experts, the International Consortium for Investigative Journalism won the Pulitzer Prize for exposing the complex relationships hidden away in the Panama Papers of the wealthy, their money, government officials, and tax havens. Neo also provided them with expertise for analyzing the subsequent Paradise Papers. More recently, Neo helped MSNBC use graph techniques to successfully identify the Russian Trolls responsible for over 200k fake tweets during the 2016 election. Discover the techniques used in these projects and how they are being used successfully by many global organizations for their cybersecurity, identity resolution, and fraud use cases. Neo4j will also provide a short demonstration of Neo4j using the Java driver.
