Expanding a graph-driven skills analysis project, this internship entailed:

  • Collecting and processing unstructured and structured data with web scraping, available APIs, Python, and NLP techniques to produce clean, structured datasets.
  • Designing a graph model based on collected data and implementing it in a Neo4j graph database by importing data with optimized Cypher queries in Python scripts.
  • Conducting analyses with graph algorithms and graph data science methodologies, as well as NLP techniques including Doc2Vec, topic modeling, and text similarity.
  • Developing a beta NLP “Text-to-Cypher” pipeline that converts a natural language question to a Cypher query, employing custom named entity recognition, entity linking, and relationship extraction techniques.
  • Visualizing results of analyses and offering a platform to interact with the “Text-to-Cypher” pipeline by developing an R Shiny application
