In this talk I’ll present an overview of the challenges and opportunities for applying data mining and machine learning for tasks in personalized health, including the role of semantics. In particular, I’ll focus on the task of healthy recipe recommendation via the use of knowledge graphs, as well as generating summaries from personal health data, highlighting our work within the RPI-IBM Health Empowerment by Analytics, Learning, and Semantics (HEALS) project.
