报告摘要（ABSTRACT）：

In this talk I will describe two killer applications using data mining and machine learning that we are currently working on. One is GlucoGuide, a personalized recommendation system for diabetes and other chronic diseases (糖尿病和其他疾病). The recommendations are based on mining patient daily data for optimally improve their health.  The other is SeeU, a new search engine with learning hierarchies for universities. It learns a hierarchical classification system for academic topics.
