Quantum Speed-ups for String Synchronizing Sets, Longest Common Substring, and \(k\) -mismatch Matching by Jin, Ce, Nogler, Jakob

“…Our result improves upon previous upper bounds $\tilde O(\min \{n/d^{1/2}, n^{2/3}\})$ (Le Gall and Seddighin ITCS 2022, Akmal and Jin SODA 2022), and answers an open question of Akmal and Jin. Our main technical contribution is a quantum speed-up of the powerful String Synchronizing Set technique introduced by Kempa and Kociumaka (STOC 2019). …”

Tangible Telepresence: Distributed and Synchronous Tangible Interfaces for Enhancing Interpersonal Connectedness over Time and Space by Choi, Kyung Yun

“…Insights from these projects contribute to a deeper understanding of TeleTangibles' design space and the factors influencing their effectiveness in promoting interpersonal connectedness and social presence. The main contributions of this thesis are threefold: First, it extends real-time synchronous remote interaction to include asynchronous interaction through time-delayed responses, allowing individuals to adjust their levels of connectedness and enabling smooth transitions between interaction modes. …”

Kazhdan-Laumon Categories and Representations by Morton-Ferguson, Calder

“…We then study the braid group action on D superscript b (G/U) (the main ingredient in Kazhdan and Laumon’s construction) and show that it categorifies the algebra of braids and ties, an algebra previously studied in knot theory; we then use this to provide conceptual and geometric proofs of new results about this algebra. …”

Bagan Mural project : building a robust digital library on Wordpress by Chia, Yew Boon, Ng, Kiak Peng

“…This would lower the barriers for librarians who are keen to offer digital content management services but are deterred by the complexity of elaborate content management systems. 2) There should be adequate communication between the librarians and the faculty member involved so that a storage platform fully customized to his needs can be created. 3) In providing an alternative to traditional content management systems, it is important that the social media tools do not distract users from the main content but add value to the user experience.…”
