Graph analytics, or network analysis, involves studying relationships among entities represented as nodes and edges in a graph. It is used in various applications such as national security, compliance, fraud detection, and supply chain optimization, utilizing specific algorithms to analyze these relationships. Unlike regular analytics, which focuses on statistics and programming, graph analytics emphasizes the connections between entities.

Graph Analytics
Graph analytics, or network analysis, involves studying relationships among entities represented as nodes and edges in a graph. It is used in various applications such as national security, compliance, fraud detection, and supply chain optimization, utilizing specific algorithms to analyze these relationships. Unlike regular analytics, which focuses on statistics and programming, graph analytics emphasizes the connections between entities.
National security - graph analytics is being used by national intelligence
agencies to detect unlawful activity.
Compliance - Financial entities are required to prevent payments to
sanctioned entities and graph analytics are used to spot such payments. Fraud detection - In businesses that work with networks such as telecom companies, e-commerce marketplaces or financial institutions, graph analytics is used in fraud detection.
Supply Chain Optimization - Graph analytics algorithms such as
shortest path and partitioning are tools to optimize routes in airlines, transportation networks, and supply chain networks. How is it different than regular analytics?
Regular analytics relies on statistics, computer programming and
operations research to uncover insights.
Graph analytics uses graph specific algorithms to analyze
relationships between entities. Research Areas - Graph Analytics:
Graph Neural Networks - hot areas in ML
Computer Vision - Scene Graphs - a set of objects present in the image
together with the relationships they have. Scene graphs have found applications in image retrieval, understanding and reasoning, captioning, visual question answering, and image generation, showing that it can greatly improve the model’s performance
