Gavin Miller is the Head of Adobe Research. Adobe have empowered artists, designers, and creative minds from all professions working in the digital medium for over 30 years with software such as Photoshop, Illustrator, Premiere, After Effects, InDesign, Audition that work with images, video, and audio. Adobe Research is working to define the future evolution of these products in a way that makes the life of creatives easier, automates the tedious tasks, and gives more & more time to operate in the idea space instead of pixel space. This is where the cutting-edge deep learning methods of the past decade can shine more than perhaps any other application. Gavin is the embodiment of combing tech and creativity. Outside of Adobe Research, he writes poetry & builds robots. This conversation is part of the Artificial Intelligence podcast at MIT and beyond.

Seeing the quality of people in your podcast , I really wish , I would be in your podcast one day.
Where the Science-Art cusp is, so am I. Thank You Lex Fridman for presenting this valuable information in an entertaining perspective. I just might have to forgive you now for promoting BIGtoken although they are still spamming me today.
Adobe do some good shit, they should design a full on daw
Great talk. Great guest. Great software.
Great video again, thanks Lex!
Great interview as always. Gavin Miller is a very smart and kind person. Nice to see. Lex, please keep doing those interviews. They are getting better and better.
This was one of your best interviews, Lex. Gavin is so well spoken, genuine, intelligent and creative. You handled the interview perfectly. It was like harmony!
I'm actually developing deep learning Adobe plugins at this current moment, thank you very much for this interview!
What app is in Lex's phone? 01:10 Stopwatch?
Great, in depth interview as always. Lex looking hella good in this one as well, damn
"I don't like spiders and snakes and that ant what it takes to make me love you like I wanna be loved by you" (stolen misquote) Gavin, you'll need an octopus for us to hang out!
Can you get Richard Sutton on the podcast? 🙂
Awesome video. Thanks for sharing Lex!
Lex, your podcast is great. The conversations you have with your guests are beyond informative! But, as an audio professional, please allow the breathing to come through and don't edit/gate them out. It feels super unnatural when just listening and not seeing the guest's mouths. Other than that, thank you for your consistency in quality production and content.
That's a flattering new angle!
can you get Sepp Hochreiter on the podcast?
I've always wanted to tell image editing software what I want. I don't want to hunt and hover through 6 selection tools; I want "Select the person but not the gray backpack, be careful her blue shirt matches part of the background." I don't want to scroll through 12 looks on my phone called Blush, Metro, Hangover, Pretentious; I want "Increase the contrast in the snow part so I can make out my tracks." Currently I generalize my goal into something that's likely to produce search results, then wade through tutorials, and it's terrible inefficient.
Magical realism? You have my attention!
hello. Dear prof Lex Fridman ,
Thanks for your great work.
In some of the popular websites you can watch videos with other languages subtitle (like Ted and coursera) which is done by volunteers from other countries.
I'm a fan of your website and was wondering if you have the same feature? And if so, how can I use it?
Otherwise I can be a Persian language coordinator for you and I can bring some other coordinators as well.
Best, reza mahmoudi
Grand discussion. This gentleman's robotic snakes move uncannily realisssssstically. I bump into venomous snakes regularly in my area and that movement was spot on.
Need one for my garden please.
Wow what an inspiring guest with many cool things to think about
