# Anelise Newman > Evaluating GenAI at Adobe Location: Los Angeles Metropolitan Area, United States Profile: https://flows.cv/anelise I build human-in-the-loop ML systems for evaluating and improving GenAI quality and safety. I combine technical depth in data pipelines and scalable infrastructure with experience designing human-facing experiments and extracting reliable signals from noisy data. ## Work Experience ### Machine Learning Engineer, GenAI Evaluation @ Adobe Jan 2023 – Present | Los Angeles, California, United States I build human-in-the-loop systems for evaluating, improving, and safeguarding generative models at scale. ### Machine Learning Engineer @ Stitch Fix Jan 2022 – Jan 2023 Technical lead defining and executing the evaluation strategy for Stitch Fix’s inventory purchasing model, a company-critical system driving millions of dollars in purchasing decisions. Set priorities for impactful evaluation metrics, built backtesting infrastructure, and surfaced the team’s first daily model performance metrics. Implemented data-backed model improvements to unblock rollout. Trained computer vision models to predict the performance of new merchandise and productionized the company’s first internal tooling for image-based deep learning. ### PHD Student @ Stanford Jan 2020 – Jan 2022 | Stanford, California, United States Investigated methods for improving human–agent collaboration with minimal human data, training hundreds of reinforcement-learning agents and running a human-subject study on Overcooked. Found that population training fails to improve coordination with humans; led a research team spanning faculty, graduate, and undergraduate collaborators. ### Graduate Researcher @ Massachusetts Institute of Technology Jan 2017 – Jan 2020 | Cambridge, Massachusetts, United States Researched the intersection of computer vision and human perception, leading to peer-reviewed publications in top venues (ECCV, CVPR, CHI). Built a computational model of video memorability, deploying an interactive web platform to collect 10K human judgments and training a model to predict memory decay over time. Developed novel datasets, interfaces, and models for human visual attention, including the first multi-duration saliency model and a toolbox of interfaces for crowdsourcing attention data. Advised by Aude Oliva. ### Computer Vision Intern @ Applied Intuition Jan 2019 – Jan 2019 | San Francisco Bay Area Measured and reduced the domain gap between real and simulated data using current techniques in domain adaptation and image-to-image translation. Integrated neural networks and traditional computer vision techniques into production software ### Software Engineering Intern @ Google Jan 2018 – Jan 2018 | Seattle, United States Implemented automatic message transcription for Duo, Google's video calling app (Android) Designed feature end-to-end including transcription API, data model, and processing pipeline ### Software Engineering Intern @ GrokStyle Jan 2017 – Jan 2017 | San Francisco Bay Area Worked as part of a team of ~10 people at an early-stage computer vision startup. Took broad ownership over mission-critical pieces of software. Projects include writing and testing a data ingestion SDK to be presented to clients as a way of facilitating data transfer to our platform and implementing an analytics pipeline to monitor user interactions on our site. ### Front-End Development Intern @ PlayStation Jan 2016 – Jan 2016 | San Francisco Assumed responsibilities of a full-time developer as part of an Agile team building a social toolbar for PlayStation.com (using Ember.js) Implemented important user-facing features such as accepting friend requests, marking notifications read, and removing from friends (UI and logic/API calls) Contributed to a robust, coherent code base with complete automated testing ## Education ### Master of Engineering - MEng in Computer Science Massachusetts Institute of Technology ### Doctor of Philosophy - PhD in Computer Science Stanford University ### Bachelor's of Science in Computer Science Massachusetts Institute of Technology ### High School Chaminade College Preparatory High School ## Contact & Social - LinkedIn: https://linkedin.com/in/anelise-newman - Website: https://anelisenewman.com - Website: https://scholar.google.com/citations?hl=en&user=EPlcDW0AAAAJ&view_op=list_works&gmla=AJsN-F5pmsaL3h9LG6TFkQy4qwqe6RpKa3yCOkE7GKWuTmIDwRCAyh12IcXBBTRKcp9g6Q9vXAKuUveRDb9ujAe7_LxtkoH_ogmJHsDyvEeIxkTm0JvkiJXyGqEI167NNHQzCWsRuZ6iMFjzFFbKAVmzeAwR5cOpCw --- Source: https://flows.cv/anelise JSON Resume: https://flows.cv/anelise/resume.json Last updated: 2026-03-29
