, I current my newest open-source venture — Authorities Funding Graph.
The inspiration for this venture got here from a need to make higher tooling for grant writing, particularly to recommend analysis subjects, funding our bodies, analysis establishments, and researchers. I’ve made Innovate UK grant functions previously, so I’ve had an curiosity within the authorities funding panorama for a while.
Concretely, plenty of the current political discourse focuses on authorities spending, particularly Elon Musk’s Division of Authorities Effectivity (DOGE) in america and related sentiments echoed right here within the UK, as Kier Starmer seems to be to combine AI into authorities.
Maybe the discharge of this venture is kind of well timed. Albeit not the unique intention, I hope as a secondary final result of this text is that it evokes extra exploration into open supply datasets for public spending.
I’ve used Networkx & PyVis to visualise the graph of UKRI API information. Then, I element a LlamaIndex graph RAG implementation. For completeness, I’ve additionally included my preliminary LangChain-based answer. The net framework is Streamlit, the demo is hosted on Streamlit group cloud.
This text incorporates the next sections.

1. Definitions
What’s UKRI?
UK Analysis and Innovation is a non-departmental public physique sponsored by the Division for Science, Innovation and Expertise (DSIT) that allocates funding for analysis and improvement. Typically, funding is awarded to analysis establishments and companies.
“We make investments £8 billion of taxpayers’ cash annually into analysis and innovation and the individuals who make it occur. We work throughout an enormous vary of fields — from biodiversity conservation to quantum computing, and from area telescopes to revolutionary well being care. We give everybody the chance to contribute and to learn, bringing collectively folks and organisations nationally and globally to create, develop and deploy new concepts and applied sciences.” — UKRI Web site
What’s a Graph?
A graph is a handy information construction exhibiting the relationships between totally different entities (nodes) and their relationships to one another (edges). In some cases, we additionally affiliate these relationships with a numerical worth.
“In laptop science, a graph is an summary information kind that’s meant to implement the undirected graph and directed graph ideas from the sector of graph principle inside arithmetic.
A graph information construction consists of a finite (and presumably mutable) set of vertices (additionally known as nodes or factors), along with a set of unordered pairs of those vertices for an undirected graph or a set of ordered pairs for a directed graph. These pairs are referred to as edges (additionally known as hyperlinks or traces), and for a directed graph are often known as edges but additionally typically arrows or arcs.” — Wikipedia

What’s NetworkX?
NetworkX is a helpful library on this venture to assemble and retailer our graph. Particularly, a digraph although the library helps many graph variants comparable to multigraphs, the library additionally helps graph-related utility features.
“NetworkX is a Python bundle for the creation, manipulation, and examine of the construction, dynamics, and features of advanced networks.” — NetworkX Web site
What’s PyVis?
We use the PyVis Python bundle to create dynamic community views for our graph, screenshots of those may be discovered all through the article.
“The pyvis library is supposed for fast technology of visible community graphs with minimal python code. It’s designed as a wrapper across the well-liked Javascript visJS library” — PyVis Docs
What’s LlamaIndex?
LlamaIndex is a well-liked library for LLM functions, together with assist for agentic workflows, we use it to carry out the graph RAG part of this venture.
“LlamaIndex (GPT Index) is a knowledge framework on your LLM utility. Constructing with LlamaIndex sometimes entails working with LlamaIndex core and a selected set of integrations (or plugins).” — LlamaIndex Github
What’s Graph RAG?

Retrieval-augmented technology, or RAG as it’s generally identified, is an AI framework for which extra context from an exterior information base is used to floor LLM solutions. Graph RAG, by extension, pertains to using a Graph to supply this extra context.
“GraphRAG is a robust retrieval mechanism that improves GenAI functions by benefiting from the wealthy context in graph information buildings… Primary RAG techniques rely solely on semantic search in vector databases to retrieve and rank units of remoted textual content fragments. Whereas this method can floor some related info, it fails to seize the context connecting these items. For that reason, fundamental RAG techniques are ill-equipped to reply advanced, multi-hop questions. That is the place GraphRAG is available in. It makes use of information graphs to symbolize and join info to seize not solely extra information factors but additionally their relationships. Thus, graph-based retrievers can present extra correct and related outcomes by uncovering hidden connections that aren’t usually apparent however are essential for correlating info.” — Neo4j Web site
What’s Streamlit?
Streamlit is a light-weight Python net framework we’ll use to create the net utility for this venture.
“Streamlit is an open-source Python framework for information scientists and AI/ML engineers to ship dynamic information apps with just a few traces of code. Construct and deploy highly effective information apps in minutes.” — Streamlit web site
2. UKRI API
The UKRI API is a service that facilitates entry to the general public UKRI grant funding dataset, authentication shouldn’t be required and the docs may be discovered right here. I take advantage of solely two endpoints for our utility, they’re the Search tasks endpoint and the Initiatives endpoint. This permits a consumer to seek for tasks based mostly on a key phrase search and retrieve all project-specific info.
A search time period, web page measurement and web page quantity are offered as question string parameters. The question string parameters;
selectedSortableField=professional.am&selectedSortOrder=DESC
Make sure that the outcomes are returned by funded worth descending.
I’ve additionally included the code I used for asynchronous pagination.

future = executor.map(search_ukri_projects, args)
outcomes = [result for result in future if result]
return record(chain.from_iterable(outcomes))[:number_of_results]

return information
3. Assemble NetworkX Graph
There are various kinds of graphs, and I elected for a directed graph the place the route of the perimeters are essential. Extra formally;
“A DiGraph shops nodes and edges with non-compulsory information, or attributes. DiGraphs maintain directed edges. Self loops are allowed however a number of (parallel) edges should not.” — NetworkX Web site
To assemble the NetworkX graph, we should add nodes and edges — together with the sequential updating of node attributes.
The usual attributes, appropriate with PyVis graph rendering for nodes are as follows;
- Title (The label that seems on hover over)
- Group (The color coding)
- Dimension (How giant the nodes seem within the graph)
We additionally use the customized attribute “funding”, which we’ll use to sum the entire funding for analysis and funding organizations. This shall be normalized to set the node measurement based on the proportion of complete funding for a selected group.
For our graph, we’ve nodes from 4 teams. They’re categorised as: funder_name
, lead_research_organisation
, project_title
and person_name
.
HTML hyperlinks can be utilized within the node title to permit the consumer to simply click on by means of to a URL. I’ve included a helper operate to do that beneath. There are venture, folks, and analysis organisation-specific hyperlinks that, if redirected to supply extra info to the consumer.

The code to assemble the NetworkX graph may be seen beneath. The DiGraph class has strategies to test if a graph already has a node and equally for edges. There are additionally strategies for including nodes and edges. As we iterate by means of tasks, we need to sum the entire funding quantity for the funding group and lead analysis establishment. There are strategies to each get an attribute from a node within the graph and set an attribute on a node. Relying on the supply and vacation spot node, we additionally apply totally different titles and labels to replicate that particular predicate. These may be seen within the code beneath.

As soon as the graph has been constructed and as beforehand described, I needed to normalize the node sizes relying on the proportion of the entire quantity of funding for specific teams.

4. Filter a NetworkX Graph

I enable the consumer to filter nodes by way of the UI to create a subgraph. The shape to do that in Streamlit is beneath. I additionally discover the neighbors of neighbors for the filtered nodes. I had some points with Pylint elevating pointless comprehension errors from the generator, which I’ve disabled — extra on Pylint later within the article. A smaller graph will take much less time to render and can be sure that irrelevant context shall be excluded.
import networkx as nx
import streamlit as st
def find_neighbor_nodes_helper(node_list, graph):
"""

"""

]

# pylint: disable=unnecessary-comprehension
[item for item in graph.predecessors(node)]
for node in node_list
]
neighbors = successors_generator_array + predecessors_generator_array
flat = sum(neighbors, [])
return record(set(flat))
def render_filter_form(annotated_node_data, graph):
"""

filter_determinant == "Filter outcomes"
):
st.session_state["node_group"] = st.selectbox(
"Entity kind", record(annotated_node_data.keys())
)
if node_group := st.session_state.get("node_group"):
ordered_lookup = dict(
sorted(
annotated_node_data[node_group].objects(),
key=lambda merchandise: merchandise[1].get("neighbor_len"),
reverse=True,
)
)
st.session_state["search_nodes_label"] = st.multiselect(
"Filter tasks", record(ordered_lookup.keys())
)
if search_nodes_label := st.session_state.get("search_nodes_label"):
filter_nodes = [
ordered_lookup[label].get("label") for label in search_nodes_label
]
search_nodes_neighbors = find_neighbor_nodes_helper(filter_nodes, graph)
search_nodes = find_neighbor_nodes_helper(search_nodes_neighbors, graph)
st.session_state["search_nodes"] = record(
set(search_nodes + filter_nodes + search_nodes_neighbors)
)
NetworkX makes it simple to create a subgraph from an inventory of nodes with the subgraph_view operate, which takes a callable as a parameter. The callable takes a graph node as a parameter and if the boolean True worth is returned, the node can be included within the subgraph.
import networkx as nx
import streamlit as st
def filter_node(node):
"""

"""
if (
(filter_term := st.session_state.get("filter"))
and (filter_term == "Filter outcomes")
and (search_nodes := st.session_state.get("search_nodes"))
):
if node not in search_nodes:
return False
return True
graph = nx.subgraph_view(graph, filter_node=filter_node)
5. Graph Visualisation Utilizing PyVis
To provide the visualizations I’ve introduced earlier within the article, we should first convert the NetworkX graph to a PyVis community after which render the HTML file inside the Streamlit UI.
If you’re unfamiliar with Streamlit, you possibly can see considered one of my different articles that discover the subject right here.
Changing a NetworkX graph to PyVis format is comparatively trivial and may be achieved with the code beneath. The Community class is the primary class for visualization performance, first we instantiate the category and on this instance, the graph is directed. The barnes_hut
methodology is then known as, which is a gravity mannequin. The from_nx
methodology takes an present NetworkX graph as an argument and interprets it to PyVis, which known as in place.
from pyvis.community import Community
def convert_graph(graph):
"""
Convert networkx to pyvis graph.
"""
internet = Community(
top="700px",
width="100%",
bgcolor="#222222",
font_color="white",
directed=True,
)
internet.barnes_hut()
internet.from_nx(graph)
return internet
To render the Graph to the UI, we first create a novel consumer ID as we use the PyVis save_graph methodology to save lots of the HTML file for the graph on the server. The uuid ensures a novel file identify, which is then learn into the streamlit UI and after the file is deleted.
import uuid
import contextlib
import os
import streamlit as st
def render_graphs(internet):
"""
Helper to render graph visualization from pyvis graph.
"""
uuid4 = uuid.uuid4()
file_name = f"./output/{uuid4}.html"
with contextlib.suppress(FileNotFoundError):
os.take away(file_name)
internet.save_graph(file_name)
with open(file_name, "r", encoding="utf-8") as html_file:
source_code = html_file.learn()
st.elements.v1.html(source_code, top=650, width=650)
os.take away(file_name)
6. Graph RAG Utilizing LlamaIndex

Via graph retrieval-augmented technology, we are able to question our graph information immediately, an instance may be seen within the prior screenshot. Extracted entities from the consumer question are seemed up within the graph to offer particular context to the AI to floor its response, as this info would doubtless not have been within the coaching corpus, and therefore any reply given would have had an elevated probability of being a hallucination.
We create a chat engine to go a consumer’s earlier question historical past into the mannequin. Often, the Open AI API secret is learn as an setting variable inside LlamaIndex — nevertheless, since that is user-submitted for our utility and we don’t need to save customers’ Open AI credentials, we have to go credentials to the LLM and embedding mannequin courses as key phrase arguments.
We then create an empty LlamaIndex Information Graph Index and populate the information graph by inserting triples. The triples come from traversing the perimeters of our NetworkX graph and calling the upsert_triplet_and_node
methodology, which is able to create the triple and node in the event that they don’t exist already.
For the reason that graph is directed, we are able to interchange the topics and objects in order that the graph is traversable in both route. The chat engine makes use of the tree_summarize possibility for the response builder.
“Tree summarize response builder. This response builder recursively merges textual content chunks and summarizes them in a bottom-up trend (i.e. constructing a tree from leaves to root). Extra concretely, at every recursively step: 1. we repack the textual content chunks so that every chunk fills the context window of the LLM 2. if there is just one chunk, we give the ultimate response 3. in any other case, we summarize every chunk and recursively summarize the summaries.”— LlamaIndex Web site

7. Linting With Pylint

Since I’ve left some feedback within the code to disable the linter within the examples above (examples are referenced from the GitHub repo), I assumed I’d cowl the subject of linting briefly.
For these unfamiliar, linting helps to test your code for potential bugs and stylistic points. Linters routinely implement coding requirements.
To get began, set up Pylint by working the command.
pip set up pylint
Secondly, we have to create a .pylintrc file on the root of the venture (we are able to additionally set default world and user-specific settings relying on the place we create the .pylintrc file). To do that, you’ll need to run.
pylint --generate-rcfile > .pylintrc
We are able to configure this file to suit our preferences by updating the default values inside the .pylintrc file.
To run the linter manually, you need to use.
pylint ./most important.py && pylint ./**/*.py
When the Docker picture is constructed, it can routinely run Pylint and lift an error ought to it detect a problem with the code. This may be seen within the Dockerfile.
FROM python:3.10.16 AS base
WORKDIR /app
COPY necessities.txt .
RUN pip set up --upgrade pip
RUN pip set up -r necessities.txt
COPY . .
RUN mkdir -p /app/output
RUN pylint ./most important.py && pylint ./**/*.py
RUN python -m unittest -v checks.test_ukri_utils.Testing
