GraphRAG is a popular way to use knowledge graphs to ground AI apps in facts. Most GraphRAG tutorials use LLMs to build graph automatically from unstructured data. However, what if you’re working on use cases such as investigative journalism and sanctions compliance — “catching bad guys” — where transparency for decisions and evidence are required?
 
This talk explores how to leverage open data, open models, and open source to build investigative graphs which are accountable, exploring otherwise hidden relations in the data that indicate fraud or corruption. Professionals working in sanctions compliance, tax fraud, counter-terrorism, etc., — which our team helps support — generally cannot talk openly about their work. However, we can use open data and open source to illustrate how machine learning assists in these kinds of complex analysis. 
 
This talk shows how to construct an investigative graph about potential money laundering, using ER to merge open data from ICIJ Offshore Leaks, Open Ownership, and OpenSanctions. We’ll explore the techniques used in production use cases for anti-money laundering (AML), ultimate beneficial owner (UBO), rapid movement of funds (RMF), and other areas of sanctions compliance.
 
First we’ll build a “backbone” for the graph in ways which preserve evidence and allow for audits. Next we’ll use spaCy pipelines to parse related news articles, using GLiNER to extract entities, then the new spacy-lancedb-linker to link them into the graph. Finally, we’ll show graph analytics that make use of the results — tying into what’s needed for use cases such as GraphRAG.
 
This approach uses Python open source libraries, e.g., the KùzuDB graph database and LanceDB vector database. For each NLP task we use state-of-the-art open models (mostly not LLMs) emphasizing how to tune for a domain context: _named entity recognition_, _relation extraction_, _textgraph_, _entity linking_, as well as _entity resolution_ used to merge structured data and produce a _semantic overlay_ that organizes the graph.
 
All of the code is provided on GitHub, organized in Jupyter notebooks.

In biomedicine, the ability to integrate and analyze vast amounts of heterogeneous data is crucial. Knowledge graphs have emerged as a powerful tool for representing complex biomedical information, facilitating data integration, discovery, and innovative research. This presentation, provides an overview of the practical applications, and challenges of using deep learning on knowledge graphs in the biomedical field. The talk will focus on the aspects of deep learning on knowledge graphs, as illustrated with a case study on drug re-purposing, to illustrate both the potential and limitations of these approaches.
