Early life and education
Friedler earned her bachelor's degree at Swarthmore College.[1] She moved to the University of Maryland, College Park for her graduate studies, where she studied geometric algorithms.[2]
Research and career
Friedler joined Alphabet Inc. as a software engineer,[1][3] where she worked with X on the development of weather balloons that can provide internet access to remote communities.[1]
Friedler has advocated for the careful use of artificial intelligence and machine learning.[4] In particular, she has spoken about how biased data and algorithms reinforce social inequality.[4] In 2015 she was made a Fellow at the Data & Society Research Institute.[citation needed]
Friedler has worked with Josh Schrier and Alexander Norquist on the application of data mining to accelerate materials discovery.[5][6] They created a computer algorithm capable of predicting whether a set of reagents will create a crystalline materials when mixed in a solvent and heated.[7] To create the tool, they compiled a database of almost 4,000 chemical reactions, wrote an algorithm that could mine for patterns in data and provide insight about why some experiments fail while others succeed.[8] The algorithm was correct 89% of the time, whilst researchers (human) predictions only had a 78% success rate.[8] Friedler and her co-workers published the database online (darkreactions.haverford.edu/) to encourage other researchers to share their data.[8]
