  • The Essential Criteria of Graph Databases

    • 1st Edition
    • Ricky Sun
    • English
    The Essential Criteria of Graph Databases collects several truly innovative graph applications in asset-liability and liquidity risk management to spark readers’ interest and further broaden the reach and applicable domains of graph systems. Although AI has incredible potential, it has three weak links: 1. Blackbox, lack of explainability, 2. Silos, slews of siloed systems across the AI ecosystem, 3. Low-performance, as most of ML/DL based AI systems are SLOW. Hence, fixing these problems paves the road to strong and effective AI.
