1. Vector store - probabilistic in nature
2.Knowledge graph - deterministic in nature
In this talk, Cloud Shuttle, the organising company behind DataEngBytes, showcases a web app that it has built on the dataengbytes website to showcase a chatbot it has built leveraging langchain, a knowledge graph on neo4j, and Amazon Bedrock.
