TrainSim Assistant – A Knowledge Training and Simulation Assistant
a Neo4j NODES24 User Conference Presentation Project June 2024 – November 2024
At NODES 24, Daniel Marian presented the TrainSim Assistant prototype that extracts relevant information from a PDF of a restaurant menu and generates hypothetical questions that are loaded into a Neo4j graph database for subsequent GraphRAG interaction.
This solution leveraged Jupyter for ETL purposes, LangChain for interacting with OpenAI and Neo4j, and Streamlit for delivering a gamified training simulation MVP user experience.
The presentation slides are available at TrainSim-nodes24-presentation.pptx.
