25 Computer Vision News Computer Vision News Kristen Grauman Kristen Grauman is a professor at the University of Texas at Austin. She spoke to me at CVPR 2025 in Nashville. Kristen, what is your work about? The work that I do is about video understanding. And in particular, I have a lot of interest in egocentric or first-person video, as well as the implications, kind of guiding problems for video understanding coming from the domains of augmented reality and robot learning. There is a lot of computer vision in there. Yes, that's right. Yeah. So you have been doing computer vision for all your career until now? That's right. I guess I got started as an undergrad, kind of exposed to computer vision in an early class at the time, started doing some simple research and getting more and more interested from there on. OK, let's now disclose everything to the readers. This is my 10th CVPR. How many do you have? How many has it been? Well, I guess it would be something like 24. I haven't counted them, but since 2001. Wow, that's amazing. Tell us something that has not changed since 2001. That's a great question. What hasn't changed about being at CVPR? This might surprise you, but I'd say even just the energy and the culture and the nature, despite the scale change and obviously the major tech advances in the meantime, that quality of the conference, I think, has been preserved. And so, yeah, I think that's something that's steady! What occupies your time now? Work-wise, it's about research and teaching, as well. What that looks like for me is spending time with my graduate students and coming up with the problems we want to address and going for it.
