  3. Invited talks • Biomedical Text Mining for Semantic Search and Knowledge Discovery • Professor Sophia AnaniadouSchool of Computer ScienceUniversityofManchester • Brain-Computer Interfaces: Progress, Problems, and Possibilities • Jonathan R. Wolpaw, M.D.Chief, Laboratory of Neural Injury and Repair Universityof New York

  4. Topics • Data • Data acquisition - Intelligentmedicaldevices and sensors • Data analytics, data mining, and machine learning • Knowledge management - Semantic Web, linkeddata • (Privacy) • Healthcare communication networks and environments • Interactions with health information technologies

  5. Role of Semantic Web in Health Informatics • Tutorial • Introduction, RDF, SPARQL, … • Live Demo • Provides interface for medical staff to build they own queries instead of asking computer analytics . • Matching of patients based on similarity of one measurement/condition and finding correlation in others

  6. DisseminatingInformationonStigmatizedIllnessesviaSocialNetworkingSitesDisseminatingInformationonStigmatizedIllnessesviaSocialNetworkingSites • Users to send anonymous messages (Veiled messages) to known friends. Recipients know that a message is from a friend of theirs, but not which friend • Trusted source + anonymity

  7. Presentations • A Meta-analysis of ICT Adoption and Use by Medical Professionals in Sub-Saharan Africa • Human Motion Primitive Identification and Activity Recognition Using a Bag-of-Features Approach • Public Health Community Mining in YouTube
