The Alan Turing Institue: The Dizzy Potential of Dynamic Graphs

Share post

We're thrilled to be featured in a recent article by The Alan Turing Institute that highlights the power of our temporal graph system, Raphtory, in overcoming the limits of traditional data analysis.

The article goes into the problem statement we're passionate about solving: most tools today only see static graphs - a single snapshot in time. This approach misses the crucial story of how and when connections form, change, and dissolve. The article details how our foundational technology was the first designed specifically for dynamic graphs, allowing you to analyse a network's entire story instantly by keeping a continuous history of all changes.

It also dives into our origin story, from the creation of the open-source Raphtory tool during our time at the Turing and Queen Mary University of London, to the launch of our company, Pometry.

We're excited that the post showcases several powerful applications of our temporal analysis, including:

  • Tracking toxic online communities by observing how they become more insular over time.
  • Spotting cryptocurrency fraud by identifying suspicious patterns and mixer services.
  • Understanding real-world transport patterns and the effectiveness of public health initiatives.
  • Analysing how the meaning of language evolves by tracking the changing connections between words.

Ultimately, the article highlight a fundamental shift we are pioneering: moving from static analysis to dynamic, narrative-driven intelligence in connected, and time-evolving complex systems. Proud to be at the forefront of this new territory in data science.

The Missing Link for AI Agents: Why a Native Temporal Graph is Non-Negotiable

The recent OpenAI Cookbook on “Temporal Agents with Knowledge Graphs” has provided a brilliant blueprint for the next generation of AI: agents that don’t just answer questions, but reason over time, understand evolving contexts, and maintain a persistent, accurate memory. The cookbook perfectly outlines the what and the why – and the need to systematically update and validate a knowledge base, perform multi-hop retrieval, and resolve temporal conflicts.

Holistic Network Analysis Over Time

For every real threat, compliance teams are buried under an avalanche of false positives. This “alert fatigue” is more than just an annoyance; it’s a critical vulnerability and a massive operational drain. Investigators waste precious time chasing ghosts born from monitoring systems that lack context, while sophisticated, genuine threats risk being lost in the noise. The key to solving this isn’t more alerts, but more clarity.
