Computer Vision News - April 2023

18 Women in Computer Vision years? What has been the thing that you are most proud of? If you asked this question to directors or movie makers, they would say, I love all my works! I thinkwhen youwork ona topic, you really put your whole self into the project. So I have a little bit of something from all the things that I've done. But I think moving from pure science in computer vision and signal processing to more application architecture is very rewarding and interesting. Also, personal development, in a sense, because, as I said, I came out of my comfort zone to explore something new. And then, within this intersection of architecture and computer vision, I have fascinating projects where I've learned a lot. I think this has been the highlight of my career. It's not something that many people are working on. It's a small community, and I'm trying to be part of the community but Okay, tell me do you feel more like a researcher or like a teacher? [ laughs ] Well, definitely both. Teaching is something that I really love. I've always been doing this, since I was a high school student. I love to teach people. I have to explain things. I have to make things simple for others to understand. But I'm also fascinated by technology and how technology is changing our world. And explaining it again to people so that they can do amazing things with it. I think it's really like an equal contribution. They are both very rewarding. Research is long-term rewarding. Teaching is really instantaneous. You have your class, and then you get the energy back from the students. It has been almost 20 years since you started your academic engagement. Maybe you want to tell me, what is the greatest fruit of your work in these 20 Consciousness is really an art: being conscious of the opportunities that we are given! Follow your dreams and be brave!
