Folks, I am happy to announce that Charlie Dickens has joined us a new committer on DataSketches.
Charlie has been instrumental in helping us direct our efforts with our Frequent Directions Sketch by proving that it can be used for matrix Ridge Regression to substantially improve computational performance. Ridge Regression is used extensively in high-dimensional machine learning applications. Charlie's work in this area has been submitted for publication. Charlie brings to us his deep background and research interests in streaming algorithm applications using linear algebra. You can find out more about Charlie's research background by reading his personal websites and his CV: - https://warwick.ac.uk/fac/sci/dcs/people/u1661868 - https://c-dickens.github.io/ - CV: https://c-dickens.github.io/pdf/cv_charlie_dickens.pdf - GitHub Profile: https://github.com/c-dickens Best Regards, Lee.
