David Blei

David Blei is a professor at Princeton University. He is an expert in the field of machine learning and statistics. He is famous for creating something called "Latent Dirichlet Allocation," which is a way to figure out the topics of a large set of documents. By using this technique, computers can read documents and "understand" what they are about, without needing to be told.
