Monday, April 18, 2022 11:30 am - 11:30 am EDT (GMT -04:00)

Seminar • Software Engineering • Designing for Neurodiversity: Creating Inclusive Software Workplaces

Please note: This seminar will be given online.

Andrew Begel, Principal Researcher
Human-AI eXperiences Team, Microsoft Research

Assistive technologies help people with disabilities to adapt to a world that is not designed to accommodate them. My research aims to create the socio-technical infrastructure underpinning accessible technology and inclusive workplaces to provide opportunity, eliminate bias, and empower people with disabilities to fully engage and collaborate equitably with their non-disabled colleagues.

Seminar • Algorithms and Complexity • Worst-Case to Average-Case Reductions via Additive Combinatorics

Please note: This seminar will be given online.

Vahid Asadi, PhD candidate
David R. Cheriton School of Computer Science

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.

Seminar • Bioinformatics • Probabilistic Models of k-mer Frequencies

Please note: This seminar will be presented in person in DC 1304 as well as streamed online.

Broňa Brejová, Department of Computer Science
Comenius University in Bratislava, Slovakia

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.
