Ning Xu

Research Scientist

San Jose

In Adobe Research, I do many exciting research projects related to computer vision and deep learning. My recent research interests focus on both fundamental research problems such as domain adaptation, and also computer vision applications such as vision and language, image generation etc. Many of my previous research works in object selection, matting and font have been brought into Adobe products such as Photoshop and Lightroom.
