Computer Vision News - May 2022

20 Women in Computer Vision everything will be more settled, and I will be able to go to more conferences again.  Years ago I interviewed another brilliant researcher fromZaragoza, ClaraFernàndez Labrador . She was just finishing her PhD. Do you know her?  Yes, I do. Zaragoza is not a huge city. The university is not huge. Everyone that works in computer science, computer vision, computer graphics, artificial intelligence, and computer architecture, we are in the same building. Sometimes we are in the same corridor. So I do know her. I haven’t worked with her, but I had the pleasure to read some of her works. We all know each other.  Is there anything you wish you could work on, that you don’t have time for now? Augmented reality! I haven’t been working on this. As a person who enjoys video games and virtual reality, I think it has a lot of potential, even more than virtual reality, practitioners that actually do this. That’s what I hope for, to have great collaboration between practitioners and researchers. That would really take us forward.  While we are talking, I can see behind you lots of badges from conferences. Yes, when I started collecting, I didn’t think that I would have so many! I started my PhD in 2015. I thought that going to one of these huge conferences would be once in a lifetime or I was just lucky that I got my paper in. It turns out that wasn’t true. Now withCOVID, therewere virtual conferences. I don’t have the badges. This year, I started adding badges again to the collection.  Will we see you next month at CVPR? No, unfortunately, I cannot go to CVPR this year. One thing that happened this year is that I changed jobs a couple of times very quickly. Then I started teaching so I had to prepare for all the classes. This year is a bit complicated for me. Hopefully, next year
