Is our future really just all about prompt engineering?</em><br>\r\n<br>\r\nAt a time when artificial intelligence, autonomous agents and large language models seem to be presented as the answer to every challenge, <strong>Margo Seltzer</strong> offers a thought-provoking perspective on the value of simplicity in computer science and machine learning. She will demonstrate how simpler and more transparent approaches can deliver performance comparable to that of the most sophisticated models, while providing greater interpretability, more efficient use of resources and a more natural way of addressing issues of fairness and privacy. The lecture will also explore a theme that lies at the heart of her career: <strong>collaboration</strong>. Drawing on her own experience of collaborative research, Margo Seltzer will explain how working together can broaden one’s impact, help overcome imposter syndrome, and enable individuals to discover and develop their unique strengths.<br>\r\n<br>\r\n<strong>About Prof. Margo Seltzer</strong><br>\r\n<a href=\"https://www.seltzer.com/margo\">Prof. Margo Seltzer</a> is Co-Head of the Department of Computer Science at the University of British Columbia (Vancouver), where she moved after two decades as a Full Professor at Harvard University. She earned her Ph.D. in Computer Science in 1992 from the University of California, Berkeley. A pioneering computer systems researcher, she is the recipient of numerous prestigious honors, including the 2023 ACM Athena Lecturer Award and the USENIX Lifetime Achievement Award. She is a Member of the National Academy of Engineering. Alongside her academic career, Margo Seltzer is an entrepreneur: she co-founded Sleepycat Software, maker of Berkeley DB, a widely used embedded database engine later acquired by Oracle. A recognized leader in her field, she is also a devoted mentor to young women in computer science and founded the \"Systers Lunch,\" the original diversity gathering at SOSP, the flagship conference of the systems research community.</p>", "image_description": "", "creation_date": "2026-09-28T19:19:24", "last_modification_date": "2026-10-06T09:01:31", "link_label": "REGISTRATION", "link_url": "https://forms.cloud.microsoft/e/29LjxMdyae", "canceled": "False", "cancel_reason": "", "place_and_room": "SG 1138", "url_place_and_room": "https://plan.epfl.ch/?room==SG%201138", "url_online_room": "", "spoken_languages": [ "https://memento.epfl.ch/api/v1/spoken_languages/2/?format=api" ], "speaker": "", "organizer": "", "contact": "Nicolas Hocq", "is_internal": "False", "theme": "", "vulgarization": { "id": 1, "fr_label": "Tout public", "en_label": "General public" }, "registration": { "id": 3, "fr_label": "Entrée libre", "en_label": "Free" }, "keywords": "", "file": null, "icalendar_url": "https://memento.epfl.ch/event/export/121974/", "category": { "id": 1, "code": "CONF", "fr_label": "Conférences - Séminaires", "en_label": "Conferences - Seminars", "activated": true }, "academic_calendar_category": null, "domains": [], "mementos": [ "https://memento.epfl.ch/api/v1/mementos/1/?format=api", "https://memento.epfl.ch/api/v1/mementos/6/?format=api", "https://memento.epfl.ch/api/v1/mementos/145/?format=api" ] }, { "id": 72701, "title": "The New Nature of Business: The Path to Prosperity and Sustainability", "slug": "the-new-nature-of-business-the-path-to-prosperit-2", "event_url": "https://memento.epfl.ch/event/the-new-nature-of-business-the-path-to-prosperit-2", "visual_url": "https://memento.epfl.ch/image/33925/200x112.jpg", "visual_large_url": "https://memento.epfl.ch/image/33925/720x405.jpg", "visual_maxsize_url": "https://memento.epfl.ch/image/33925/max-size.jpg", "lang": "en", "start_date": "2026-11-03", "end_date": "2026-11-03", "start_time": "17:15:00", "end_time": "19:00:00", "description": "<em>How can we reconcile economic value creation, the preservation of nature and collective prosperity?

I will consider how these capabilities could contribute to longer-term research goals, such as automated reaction pathway exploration. These examples illustrate how a single missing capability can interrupt an otherwise sophisticated research workflow.<br>\r\nI will also discuss the open challenge of enabling agents to learn continually from scientific literature, computational results, and failed attempts, and to acquire capabilities as new problems demand them. By examining current capabilities and remaining bottlenecks, I will outline a path toward AI systems that formulate and test chemical hypotheses with increasing independence.</p>", "image_description": "", "creation_date": "2026-09-30T16:11:47", "last_modification_date": "2026-09-30T16:21:18", "link_label": "", "link_url": "", "canceled": "False", "cancel_reason": "", "place_and_room": "", "url_place_and_room": "", "url_online_room": "https://epfl.zoom.us/j/68447908297?pwd=OU5JUGJUSUhZc0ZNYjQ2WENvYINRdz09", "spoken_languages": [ "https://memento.epfl.ch/api/v1/spoken_languages/2/?format=api" ], "speaker": "Yunheng (Jackie) Zou", "organizer": "Philippe Schwaller", "contact": "[email protected]", "is_internal": "False", "theme": "", "vulgarization": { "id": 1, "fr_label": "Tout public", "en_label": "General public" }, "registration": { "id": 3, "fr_label": "Entrée libre", "en_label": "Free" }, "keywords": "MLSeminar1", "file": null, "icalendar_url": "https://memento.epfl.ch/event/export/122003/", "category": { "id": 1, "code": "CONF", "fr_label": "Conférences - Séminaires", "en_label": "Conferences - Seminars", "activated": true }, "academic_calendar_category": null, "domains": [], "mementos": [ "https://memento.epfl.ch/api/v1/mementos/1/?format=api", "https://memento.epfl.ch/api/v1/mementos/5/?format=api", "https://memento.epfl.ch/api/v1/mementos/6/?format=api", "https://memento.epfl.ch/api/v1/mementos/9/?format=api", "https://memento.epfl.ch/api/v1/mementos/14/?format=api" ] } ] }
