An empirical comparison of graph databases

In recent years, more and more companies provide services that can not be anymore achieved efficiently using relational databases. As such, these companies are forced to use alternative database models such as XML databases, object-oriented databases, document-oriented databases and, more recently graph databases. Graph databases only exist for a few years. Although there have been some comparison attempts, they are mostly focused on certain aspects only.
In this paper, we present a distributed graph database comparison framework and the results we obtained by comparing four important players in the graph databases market: Neo4j, OrientDB, Titan and DEX.

Evaluation of GraphRAG Strategies for Efficient Information Retrieval

24.12.2025 / /
Traditional RAG systems struggle to capture relationships and cross-references between different sources unless explicitly mentioned. This challenge is common in real-world scenarios, where information is often distributed and interlinked, making graphs a more effective representation. Our work provides a technical contribution through a comparative evaluation of retrieval strategies within GraphRAG, focusing on context relevance rather than abstract metrics. We aim to offer practitioners actionable insights into the retrieval component of the GraphRAG pipeline.

Flight Load Factor Predictions based on Analysis of Ticket Prices and other Factors

22.12.2025 / /
The ability to forecast traffic and to size the operation accordingly is a determining factor, for airports. However, to realise its full potential, it needs to be considered as part of a holistic approach, closely linked to airport planning and operations. To ensure airport resources are used efficiently, accurate information about passenger numbers and their effects on the operation is essential. Therefore, this study explores machine learning capabilities enabling predictions of aircraft load factors.
