# Link Prediction Integration Guide ## Overview NornicDB now includes **Neo4j GDS-compatible topological link prediction** to complement its existing semantic inference engine. This document explains the integration, API usage, and how it fits into the broader architecture. ## What Was Added ### 1. Topological Link Prediction Package (`pkg/linkpredict/`) Five canonical graph algorithms: - **Common Neighbors**: `|N(u) ∩ N(v)|` - **Jaccard Coefficient**: `|N(u) ∩ N(v)| / |N(u) ∪ N(v)|` - **Adamic-Adar**: `Σ(1 / log(|N(z)|))` for common neighbors - **Resource Allocation**: `Σ(1 / |N(z)|)` for common neighbors - **Preferential Attachment**: `|N(u)| * |N(v)|` Plus hybrid scoring that blends topology with semantic similarity. ### 2. Neo4j GDS Procedure Compatibility (`pkg/cypher/linkprediction.go`) All algorithms accessible via Neo4j GDS Cypher procedures: ```cypher CALL gds.linkPrediction.adamicAdar.stream(...) CALL gds.linkPrediction.commonNeighbors.stream(...) CALL gds.linkPrediction.resourceAllocation.stream(...) CALL gds.linkPrediction.preferentialAttachment.stream(...) CALL gds.linkPrediction.jaccard.stream(...) CALL gds.linkPrediction.predict.stream(...) // Hybrid ``` ### 3. Integration with Existing Inference Engine Works alongside `/pkg/inference/inference.go`: ``` ┌────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐ │ Link Prediction │ ├────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┤ │ Topological │ Semantic (Existing) │ │ (pkg/linkpredict) │ (pkg/inference) │ │ • Structure-based │ • Embedding similarity │ │ • Fast, deterministic │ • Co-access patterns │ │ • Neo4j GDS compatible │ • Temporal proximity │ │ │ • Transitive inference │ ├────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┤ │ Hybrid Scorer (pkg/linkpredict/hybrid.go) │ │ α * topology_score + β * semantic_score │ └────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘ ``` ## API Usage ### Via Cypher (Neo4j GDS Compatible) ```cypher -- Basic topological prediction MATCH (n:Person {name: 'Alice'}) CALL gds.linkPrediction.adamicAdar.stream({ sourceNode: id(n), topK: 10 }) YIELD node1, node2, score WHERE score > 0.5 RETURN node2, score ORDER BY score DESC -- Hybrid (topology + semantics) MATCH (n:Memory {id: 'memory-123'}) CALL gds.linkPrediction.predict.stream({ sourceNode: id(n), algorithm: 'adamic_adar', topologyWeight: 0.6, semanticWeight: 0.4, topK: 20 }) YIELD node1, node2, score, topology_score, semantic_score, reason RETURN node2, score, reason ORDER BY score DESC ``` ### Via Go API ```go import "github.com/orneryd/nornicdb/pkg/linkpredict" // Build graph from storage graph, err := linkpredict.BuildGraphFromEngine(ctx, engine, true) // Run topological algorithm predictions := linkpredict.AdamicAdar(graph, sourceNodeID, 10) for _, pred := range predictions { fmt.Printf("→ %s: %.3f\n", pred.TargetID, pred.Score) } // Or use hybrid scoring config := linkpredict.HybridConfig{ TopologyWeight: 0.6, SemanticWeight: 0.4, TopologyAlgorithm: "adamic_adar", } scorer := linkpredict.NewHybridScorer(config) scorer.SetSemanticScorer(func(ctx context.Context, source, target storage.NodeID) float64 { // Get embeddings and compute similarity return linkpredict.CosineSimilarity(sourceEmb, targetEmb) }) hybridPreds := scorer.Predict(ctx, graph, sourceNodeID, 10) ``` ## Integration Points ### 1. Cypher Executor (`pkg/cypher/call.go`) Added procedure routing at line 343-355: ```go // Neo4j GDS Link Prediction Procedures (topological) case strings.Contains(upper, "GDS.LINKPREDICTION.ADAMICADAR.STREAM"): result, err = e.callGdsLinkPredictionAdamicAdar(cypher) case strings.Contains(upper, "GDS.LINKPREDICTION.COMMONNEIGHBORS.STREAM"): result, err = e.callGdsLinkPredictionCommonNeighbors(cypher) // ... etc ``` ### 2. Storage Layer (`pkg/storage/`) Leverages existing `Engine` interface: - `AllNodes()` - Get all nodes for graph construction - `GetOutgoingEdges(nodeID)` - Build adjacency lists - `GetNode(id)` - Fetch embeddings for semantic scoring No changes to storage layer required ✅ ### 3. Inference Engine (`pkg/inference/`) **Complementary, not replacement**: - Inference engine continues to handle real-time co-access tracking - Topological algorithms handle batch/on-demand predictions - Hybrid scorer bridges both worlds ## Configuration No new config needed. Algorithms are stateless and invoked on-demand via Cypher procedures or Go API. For hybrid scoring, weights are passed in procedure parameters: ```cypher CALL gds.linkPrediction.predict.stream({ sourceNode: id(n), topologyWeight: 0.7, -- Structure matters more semanticWeight: 0.3, algorithm: 'ensemble' -- Or specific: 'adamic_adar' }) ``` ## Testing ### Unit Tests ```bash # Test topological algorithms go test ./pkg/linkpredict/... -v # Test hybrid scoring go test ./pkg/linkpredict/... -v -run=TestHybrid # Test Cypher integration go test ./pkg/cypher/... -v -run=TestLinkPrediction ``` ### Benchmarks ```bash go test ./pkg/linkpredict/... -bench=. -benchmem ``` ### Integration Test Example ```cypher -- Create test graph CREATE (a:Person {name: 'Alice'}) CREATE (b:Person {name: 'Bob'}) CREATE (c:Person {name: 'Charlie'}) CREATE (d:Person {name: 'Diana'}) CREATE (a)-[:KNOWS]->(b) CREATE (a)-[:KNOWS]->(c) CREATE (b)-[:KNOWS]->(d) CREATE (c)-[:KNOWS]->(d) -- Test prediction (should suggest Alice -> Diana) MATCH (a:Person {name: 'Alice'}) CALL gds.linkPrediction.commonNeighbors.stream({ sourceNode: id(a), topK: 5 }) YIELD node1, node2, score MATCH (target) WHERE id(target) = node2 RETURN target.name, score ORDER BY score DESC ``` Expected: Diana ranks high (2 common neighbors: Bob and Charlie) ## Performance Characteristics ### Time Complexity | Algorithm | Complexity | Notes | |-----------|-----------|-------| | Common Neighbors | O(deg(u) * deg(v)) | Fast for low-degree nodes | | Jaccard | O(deg(u) * deg(v)) | Same as CN | | Adamic-Adar | O(deg(u) * deg(v)) | Includes log computation | | Resource Allocation | O(deg(u) * deg(v)) | Similar to AA | | Preferential Attachment | O(1) per candidate | Fastest | | Hybrid | O(algorithm + N*embedding_lookup) | Depends on semantic scorer | ### Memory Usage - **Graph construction**: ~200-500 bytes per node + adjacency - **Prediction**: Minimal (outputs top-K only) - **Hybrid**: +embedding storage (1024 floats * 4 bytes = 4KB per node) ### Optimization Tips 1. **Candidate generation**: Algorithms only consider 2-hop neighbors (not all nodes) 2. **Caching**: Build graph once, run multiple algorithms 3. **Batching**: Process multiple source nodes with same graph instance 4. **Sampling**: For very large graphs, sample subgraph first ## Neo4j Compatibility Statement ✅ **API-Compatible**: Procedures follow Neo4j GDS naming and parameter conventions ✅ **Result Format**: Returns `{node1, node2, score}` tuples like Neo4j GDS ✅ **Drop-in Usage**: Existing Neo4j GDS queries work with minimal modification ❌ **Not Implemented**: Graph projections (we use in-memory adjacency instead) ❌ **Not Implemented**: Write mode (stream mode only, no graph mutation) ❌ **Not Implemented**: Stats/mutate modes (stream only) ## Use Cases ### 1. Social Networks **Best**: Adamic-Adar, Common Neighbors **Why**: Mutual friends are strong signal ```cypher CALL gds.linkPrediction.adamicAdar.stream({...}) ``` ### 2. Knowledge Graphs **Best**: Hybrid (topology + semantic) **Why**: Both structure and content matter ```cypher CALL gds.linkPrediction.predict.stream({ topologyWeight: 0.5, semanticWeight: 0.5 }) ``` ### 3. Citation Networks **Best**: Adamic-Adar, Preferential Attachment **Why**: Common citations + popular papers get more citations ### 4. AI Agent Memory (Mimir) **Best**: Hybrid with high semantic weight **Why**: Semantic similarity drives associations, structure is secondary ```cypher CALL gds.linkPrediction.predict.stream({ topologyWeight: 0.3, semanticWeight: 0.7, algorithm: 'adamic_adar' }) ``` ## Comparison with Existing Inference | Feature | Topological (New) | Semantic (Existing) | |---------|------------------|---------------------| | **Input** | Graph structure | Embeddings, access logs | | **Signal** | Neighbors, paths | Meaning, behavior | | **Speed** | Fast (structure-only) | Moderate (embeddings) | | **Use When** | Structure matters | Semantics matter | | **Example** | "Mutual friends" | "Similar interests" | **Recommendation**: Use hybrid for best results in Mimir. ## Future Enhancements 1. **Persistent Graph Projections**: Cache graph structure for faster repeated queries 2. **Incremental Updates**: Update adjacency without full rebuild 3. **GPU Acceleration**: Parallelize neighbor intersection on GPU 4. **More Algorithms**: Total neighbors, Same community, SimRank 5. **Write Mode**: Auto-create edges above threshold ## References - Neo4j GDS Documentation: https://neo4j.com/docs/graph-data-science/current/algorithms/linkprediction/ - Adamic & Adar (2003): "Friends and neighbors on the Web" - Liben-Nowell & Kleinberg (2007): "The link-prediction problem for social networks" - Zhou et al.
