Knowledge Graphs for RAG

by DeepLearning.AI × Neo4j

IntermediateCourseFree~1-2 hours

Use graph structure — not just vectors — to retrieve richer, more connected context for RAG.

Start LearningReviewed July 3, 2026

Overview

Vector-only retrieval misses relationships between facts; knowledge graphs capture them. Built with Neo4j, this course teaches you to construct and query knowledge graphs with Cypher, combine graph traversal with vector search, and feed structurally-connected context into an LLM. It's the foundation of 'GraphRAG' approaches that are increasingly used for complex, multi-hop questions.
