Alexander Morrow
Alexander Morrow is a Sophomore majoring in Computer Science. What sort of research are you doing? I am exploring predictive model uncertainty. Predictive models are tools that, given some attributes of an instance, attempt to predict what class it belongs to. For example, if a model analyzed weather data and discovered that every day during…
