She received her PhD in 2014 from The University of Texas at Austin, and her B.A. in Computer Science and Media Studies from Pomona College in 2008. Her research interests primarily lie in computer vision, with some overlap in machine learning, information retrieval, natural language processing, and human computation. Her research is funded by two NSF grants and a Google Faculty Research Award. Her research has been published in the top computer vision and natural language processing conferences (CVPR, ICCV, ACL). Adriana has previously organized two workshops, Human-Machine Communication for Visual Recognition and Search (ECCV 2014) and Women in Computer Vision (CVPR 2015). Adriana was also the chair/co-chair of the CVPR Doctoral Consortium (2015-2017).
