b'Today we\\u2019re joined by Jelani Nelson, a professor in the Theory Group at UC Berkeley.\\n In our conversation with Jelani, we explore his research in computational theory, where he focuses on building streaming and sketching algorithms, random projections, and dimensionality reduction. We discuss how Jelani thinks about the balance between the innovation of new algorithms and the performance of existing ones, and some use cases where we\\u2019d see his work in action.\\n Finally, we talk through how his work ties into machine learning, what tools from the theorist\\u2019s toolbox he\\u2019d suggest all ML practitioners know, and his nonprofit AddisCoder, a 4 week summer program that introduces high-school students to programming and algorithms.\\n The complete show notes for this episode can be found at twimlai.com/go/473.'
