Adobe is presenting new work at the ACM SIGGRAPH 2022 conference, the premier academic conference in computer graphics and interactive techniques, held from August 8 to 11, 2022. This year, Adobe researchers have co-authored a total of 29 technical papers, including 12 in the Journal Papers track, 9 in the Conference Papers track, and 8 additional ACM Transactions on Graphics (TOG) papers. One of our co-authored papers won a Best Paper Award, and one received an Honorable Mention. In addition, Adobe authors have contributed to the conference by organizing workshops and other presentations.
Adobe researchers served in important technical leadership roles for the Technical Papers Program, including the Chair, the Conference Papers Director, and several Papers Committee Members. The team has played a key role in creating a new Conference Papers track.
The new Conference Papers track was created for papers with exciting new ideas presented in a shorter format. Papers accepted for this track have been published in a special SIGGRAPH Conference Proceedings. The previous SIGGRAPH technical papers track was preserved as the Journal Papers track for the 2022 conference, with accepted papers appearing in the TOG. Authors with papers submitted directly to TOG and accepted for publication in the journal were invited to present the papers at the SIGGRAPH 2022 conference as well.
Nearly all these papers are the result of research internships or other collaborations with university students and faculty. Please check out Adobe Research’s careers page to learn more about internships and full-time career opportunities.
Here are Adobe’s contributions to SIGGRAPH 2022.
