Office Hour – Sorelle Friedler

This homepage ran on Wednesday, October 28, 2015. Content and links may have changed.

Much of Assistant Professor of Computer Science Sorelle Friedler’s research takes place in a heady realm known as “high-dimensional space”—used to model data sets with many attributes—where, instead of the two or three dimensions most of us are familiar with, there can be 250 or even 1,000 dimensions.
