Today, we are at the IC Colloquium by Pavle Subotic about Abstract Interpretation on irregular programming environments.
Notebooks and spreadsheets make data exploration effortless, but their non-linear execution is a downside. This talk explores how static analysis and abstract interpretation can bring software engineering rigor to real-world data workflows.

Last Friday was the Welcome Day at EPFL! 🎓✨
New students were welcomed by EPFL President Anna Fontcuberta i Morral before getting their first taste of EPFL life: discovering the campus, meeting fellow students and enjoying activities with the Coaching 🌻
Welcome (back) to campus! ✨
A new semester is beginning, back to classes, inspiring exchanges with professors, familiar faces and new connections within the IC community. And of course, back to the daily rhythm of campus life, from walks through the hallways to a few well-deserved breaks along the way.
Wishing our entire IC community a great start and a semester full of learning, sharing and new experiences! 💻✨
This is a great opportunity to connect with the speakers, collaborate across disciplines and contribute real solutions alongside major international partners. More information 👉 peacetech.ch
The PeaceTech Hackathon is back at EPFL on September 26–27 2026 and open to all students ! You're also invited to the Opening Ceremony on September 22, dedicated to Misinformation, Disinformation, and Hate Speech, ahead of the hackathon itself, with challenges posed by UNICEF, the Red Cross and others.
Today, we are following the talk by Phillip Stanley-Marbell, founder & CEO of Signaloid, on "Fast Arithmetic on Compressed Representations of Continuous Probability Distributions." !
