Many successful tools in bioinformatics are based on working with k-mers, substrings of length k of the input sequences. In this talk, we will discuss two less-known areas where k-mers can be used.

In developing countries, people with substance-abuse issues sometimes face shame and can find it difficult to get help. Now, a research team is using machine learning and anonymized data to get a clearer picture of the underlying factors that influence tendencies to abuse drugs and alcohol.
The research provides a rare insight into a somewhat neglected subject because of social and cultural taboos. The research team hopes their work can eventually make it easier for people to get help.
