Join us to explore the process of building knowledge graphs using Large Language Models (LLMs). This online session focuses on using LLMs to automatically extract knowledge graphs from unstructured data.
You'll learn how an LLM can identify key entities and their relationships, creating a structured representation of information. We will then demonstrate how to integrate this LLM-generated knowledge graph into a RAG pipeline, transforming it into a GraphRAG architecture for improved accuracy and contextual understanding in question answering.
This online session is tailored for developers interested in advancing their RAG implementations or other AI projects with the power of LLM-driven knowledge graphs.
Agenda
- Introduction / Meet the Community - 10 minutes
- Building Knowledge Graphs using LLMs - 40 mins
- Q&A - 10 mins
