This year, Adobe Research continued in its core mission of developing innovative new technologies, publishing 66 research papers at the top computer vision and computer graphics conferences:

Nearly all of these papers came from university collaborations. Most were first-authored by university PhD students following successful summer internships working with Adobe researchers. (Find instructions on applying for a 2018 internship here.)

These are substantial numbers of papers for any university or lab. At SIGGRAPH 2017, 127 papers were published in total, meaning that Adobe researchers co-authored more than one-eighth of the papers at SIGGRAPH this year.

In addition, Adobe researchers received three Helmholtz test-of-time awards at ICCV 2017, recognizing significant long-term impact on the field of computer vision.  Adding to these numbers, we also published eight papers at NIPS, the machine learning conference.
