About

Appointed Canada CIFAR AI Chair – 2023

Adriana Romero-Soriano is a research scientist at FAIR (Meta AI), an adjunct professor at McGill University, a core industry member of Mila and a Canada CIFAR AI Chair. Romero-Soriano’s research focuses on developing machine learning models which can learn from multi-modal data, reason about conceptual relations, and leverage active and adaptive data acquisition strategies. The goal of her research is to enable interactive and immersive experiences of content creation and reconstruction that work for everyone. Her most recent work intersects generative modeling, active sensing, and responsible AI.
