Here are a few example queries for each of the themes: </p><p></p><h2>1. SoCal Restaurant Recommendations</h2><ul><li>Get all restaurants that belong to an inputted cuisine </li><li>Get all restaurants that are open during an inputted time interval </li><li>Get all restaurants that are within an inputted distance </li><li>Find similar restaurants (can create community clusters)  </li></ul><p></p><h2>2. Hollywood Movie Reviews</h2><ul><li>Get all movies that have received above an inputted rating</li><li>Get all reviews for an inputted movie </li><li>Get the most accurate reviewers (helpfulness of review)  </li></ul><p></p><h2>3. UCLA’s Graduate Admission Analysis </h2><ul><li>Compute average scores across entire graph</li><li>Return lists of all scores/percentages (used to make charts) </li><li>Cluster students who were offered admission vs. those who weren’t </li></ul><p></p><h2>4. Optimizing Santa Monica Pier </h2><ul><li>Return lists of all temperature readings within a given time interval</li><li>Return average temperature, pressure, chlorophyll per day </li><li>Return latitude/longitude for each sensor (used to create heat map) </li></ul><p></p><p></p><p>Using this data, create some <strong>neat visualizations! </strong>One of the easiest ways to create powerful dashboards in <strong>Python</strong> is via Plotly Dash.

Here’s his take on the <strong>importance</strong> of <strong>Graph Databases. </strong></p><p></p><h2>Why Learn Graph Database Technology?</h2><p><strong></strong></p><p>Back in the day, relational databases like MySQL were much easier to manage because the data itself was simpler and smaller. However as technology continues to evolve, so has our ability to collect high volumes of data at an unprecedented rate. <strong>Organizing, accessing, manipulating, and updating relational databases is progressively more difficult once you start dealing with billions of rows of data</strong> with complex relationships.</p><p></p><p>As data exponentially grows, the interconnectedness of data becomes infinitely more useful to decision-makers and data scientists. Graph databases are ideal for understanding connected data - <strong>their ability to store the relationships between data, along with the data itself, makes them one of the hottest solutions in data and analytics. Whenever you use LinkedIn and others like it</strong>, and it shows you 1st, 2nd, or 3rd degree connections, you’re seeing the power of connected data, a graph.</p><p></p><h3>Gartner says graphs are the next frontier for data science and analytics. By 2023, graph technologies will facilitate rapid contextualization for decision-making in 30% of organizations worldwide. TigerGraph is the fastest and most scalable graph database in the market and is used in some of the top companies globally.</h3><p></p><p>One great way to get ahead in your career is to make good bets on what technologies are going to become important in the future and to invest time in learning them. If that sounds like something you want to do, then you should definitely be paying attention to graph databases.</p><p></p><p>To accelerate our understanding of Graphs, we’ll be hosting an <strong>Introduction to TigerGraph seminar </strong>to kick off our hackathon! Here’s a comprehensive guide: </p>
