How to Build Knowledge Graph Generation Pipelines From Text With kg-gen, NetworkX Analytics, and Interactive Visualizations

In this tutorial, we will generate knowledge graphs from plain text, conversations, and multiple source documents using kg-gen. We start by setting up the required dependencies and configuring an LLM through LiteLLM, then we extract entities, predicates, and relationships from simple text. As we move forward, we work with longer passages using chunking and clustering,
