Methods for creating fine-tuning datasets for text-to-Cypher generation. Created with ChatGPT-DALLECypher is Neo4j’s graph query language. It was inspired and bears similarities with SQL, enabling data retrieval from knowledge graphs. Given the rise of generative AI and the widespread availability of large language models (LLMs), it is natural to ask which LLMs are capable of…
Vision-language models (VLMs) are increasingly prevalent, offering substantial advancements in AI-driven tasks. However, one of the most significant limitations of these advanced models, including prominent ones like GPT-4V, is their constrained spatial reasoning capabilities. Spatial reasoning involves understanding objects’ positions in three-dimensional space and their spatial relationships with one another. This limitation is particularly pronounced…
