Dear reader, With the new year comes a content-rich January issue of Computer Vision News that caters to all tastes: if you like technical articles, you will enjoy the research, the project, the challenge and the tool of the month VQA ; if you like community information, you will find it in the Spotlight News and the events section; if you'd like to read a case study about a go-to-market initiative, the application of the month MobileODT is for you; in addition, you can learn project management tips in Ron Soferman ’s regular lecture. As usual, we shine a spotlight on a young female scientist: Noelia Vállez is the woman in computer vision of this month. The guest of the month is Raquel Urtasun , a researcher and teacher at the University of Toronto as well as the head of the Uber lab there. In her long and fascinating interview, Raquel shares her vision about more subjects than I can mention here, from the secrets of her success to how Uber is going to save human lives on the road. Take a few minutes to read it, and you will admire her just like we do. During 2017, our publications enjoyed great popularity among our community, with almost one million pages of shared knowledge viewed by our readers. As a global leader in computer vision, RSIP Vision is very proud of being at the center of this project, which of course, will continue in 2018 and beyond. Enjoy the reading and happy new year!
