Professor at the California Institute of Technology (USA), her research focuses on tensor algebra, deep learning and non-convex problems. She is research director in machine learning at the designer of computer components Nvidia. She has obtained numerous scientific prizes and awards for her work. At the end of 2020, it was the subject of a heated controversy. She posted a list of people she blocked on Twitter as a list that her followers and the AI ​​/ diversity / inclusiveness communities must harass to try to "change their perspective." She also clarified in a subsequent tweet that if these people cannot be convinced, they should be deleted. She also seeks to purge those with non-progressive views from the press as well as academia, even outside of the AI ​​space. His initiative is particularly focused on the pursuit of Pedro Domingos, a professor who is also the author of the bestseller "Master Algorithm". Anima has since apologized, aware of the collateral damage impacting many people following the publication of this list, and has permanently closed her tweeter account.
