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.

Quantum query complexity measures the minimum number of queries a quantum algorithm needs to make to some input string to compute a function of that input. Query complexity models are widely used throughout quantum computing, from setting limits on quantum algorithms to analyzing post-quantum cryptography.

We present a new framework for designing worst-case to average-case reductions. For a large class of problems, it provides an explicit transformation of algorithms running in time T that are only correct on a small (subconstant) fraction of their inputs into algorithms running in time O(T \log T) that are correct on all inputs.

In recent research, the self-supervised video representation learning methods have achieved improvement by exploring video’s temporal properties, such as playing speeds and temporal order. These works inspire us to exploit a new artificial supervision signal for self-supervised representation learning: the change of video playing speed.
