Ontologies have been well used in the biomedical and health domains. Semantic data mining refers to the data mining tasks that systematically incorporate domain knowledge, especially formal semantics, into the process. The use of ontologies in mining healthcare and medicine data is a natural fit. In this talk, we focus on the use of formal (Semantic Web) ontologies in two data mining and deep learning tasks in health datasets. We applied semantic association mining in electronic health records to discover indirect (hidden) associations among diseases and drugs. We also applied ontology-based deep learning in a health social network to predict human physical activities.
