Automating Knowledge Graphs with SurrealDB and Gemini

The blog post explores the automation of knowledge graph construction using SurrealDB and the Gemini large language model (LLM), highlighting how these tools facilitate the representation and querying of complex, interconnected data. Knowledge graphs, which create networks of understanding by linking data relationships, have traditionally been labor-intensive to build; however, LLMs like Gemini can automate the extraction of entities and relationships from text, simplifying this process. SurrealDB, a multi-model database, supports both graph structures and vector embeddings natively, enabling sophisticated analysis and semantic search by capturing the meaning and relationships within data. The post demonstrates how to generate SurrealDB queries using Gemini to build a knowledge graph from an AI-generated text and suggests adding embeddings for enhanced semantic search capabilities. The integration of Retrieval Augmented Generation (RAG) techniques with knowledge graphs is presented as a powerful application, combining the data model and querying strengths of SurrealDB to improve the accessibility and utility of knowledge-driven applications.
