Speech Title: Knowledge Grapphs:  Technology and Application 

Knowledge Graph is a large scale semantic network consisting of entities and concepts as well as the semantic relationships among them, using Web-based knowledge representation languages such as RDF, RDF Schema, or OWL (Web Ontology Language). Such knowledge graphs are used in the construction of many knowledge-based applications in various application domains. In medicine, knowledge graph technology has been widely used for extracting information from patient records, personalized medicine which supports for co-morbidity analysis, data integration on drugs and their interactions, and many others. In this talk, we will present various technology of knowledge graphs, which include how we can construct knowledge graphs from heterogeneous knowledge and data resources. We will show several typical applications of disease-specific knowledge graphs such as Knowledge Graphs of Depression.
