The Knowledge Graph Platform sits in the Core Engineering division of the firm. The group collects inhomogeneous (petabyte-scale) data from several different systems (Compliance, Investment Banking, Global Markets, Asset Management, etc.) into a single connected dataset (or database), which we refer to as the "Knowledge Graph"; this connected database contains hundreds of millions of entities, several billions of relationships, and is occupying tens of terabytes of space in distributed databases. In addition, the group extracts relationships insights by applying - distributed - graph, machine learning, and natural language processing algorithms on this Knowledge Graph, as well as on other text document collections, and feeds these insights, via means of reliable and scalable APIs, UI applications, and mobile applications, to several other firm products and employees across multiple divisions: Compliance, Investment Banking, Global Markets, Asset Management, to name a few.
