Fleiss, Newton, and Sturges met at a math class at Amherst College, and later partnered with Dr. Greenberg, a graduate of Columbia University.[3]

The fund is known for utilizing machine learning to provide AI based asset management using Bayesian networks.[4] Their algorithm, nicknamed "Star," provides a human trader with a list of recommendations in the morning, which the trader implements.[5]

Rebellion Research was one of the first firms on Wall Street to use Artificial Intelligence in 2006.[6][7]
