Franz Inc., a renowned leader in Artificial Intelligence (AI) and a leading provider of Graph Database technology, has unveiled AllegroGraph 8.0, a revolutionary Neuro-Symbolic AI Platform. This platform incorporates Large Language Model (LLM) components directly into SPARQL, along with vector generation and storage. AllegroGraph 8.0 reimagines the process of creating Knowledge Graphs and expands the capabilities of AI within the most secure triplestore database on the market.
Dr. Jans Aasman, CEO of Franz Inc., highlighted the importance of Knowledge Graphs in addressing complex queries that require extensive background knowledge. He explained, “While general-purpose LLMs excel at straightforward tasks that do not necessitate background or changing knowledge, addressing more complex, knowledge-intensive queries demands the capabilities provided with a Knowledge Graph to avoid generating ‘hallucinations.'”
Leading analyst firms, including Gartner, recognize the synergistic relationship between Knowledge Graphs and LLMs. Radu Miclaus, Senior Director at Gartner, stated, “Knowledge graphs provide the perfect complement to LLM-based solutions where high thresholds of accuracy and correctness need to be attained.”
AllegroGraph 8.0 combines Machine Learning (statistical AI) with knowledge and reasoning (symbolic AI) capabilities. This powerful fusion enables AllegroGraph to tackle complex problems that require reasoning and learn efficiently with limited data. Additionally, this integration of machine learning and reasoning leads to decisions that are understandable to humans, marking a significant step forward in the advancement of AI.
The capabilities and enhancements of AllegroGraph 8.0 include Retrieval Augmented Generation (RAG) for LLMs, which guides Generative AI content through a source of truth to avoid generating unreliable information. The platform also offers natural language queries and reasoning, enterprise document deep-insight through VectorStore capabilities, AI symbolic rule generation for transparent explanations of decisions, streamlined ontology and taxonomy creation through LLMagic, Knowledge Graph-as-a-Service, enhanced scalability and performance, a redesigned web interface (AGWebView), and advanced Knowledge Graph visualization with Gruff v9.
Franz Inc. has been recognized for its leadership in AI and Knowledge Graphs. They have received prestigious awards, including being positioned as a Champion in the 2023 GraphDB Market Report by Bloor Research, winning the 2023 KM World Readers’ Choice Award for Best Knowledge Graphs, and being listed among the 100 Companies That Matter Most in Data by Database Trends and Applications.
This unveiling of AllegroGraph 8.0 showcases the continued innovation and commitment of Franz Inc. to push the boundaries of AI and empower organizations with comprehensive AI Knowledge Graph solutions. With its unique combination of LLMs and Knowledge Graphs, AllegroGraph 8.0 paves the way for more advanced and interpretable AI systems.
