INERTIAL is a research group housed in the Dept. of Information Science in the Drexel University College of Computing and Informatics, led by Dr. Michael Ekstrand. We study “information access technology” — recommender systems, search engines, and other algorithmic technology for accessing large information spaces — to make them more useful, effective, and socially beneficial.
