Erdös Number = 4

[brooksmoses]

In 1987, Nathan Linial coauthored a paper with Paul Erdös and Shlomo Moran on "Extremal problems on permutations under cyclic equivalence" in volume 64 of Discrete Math.

In 1996, Steven Phillips coauthored a paper with Nathan Linial, Yossi Azar, Andrei Broder, and Anna Karlin on "Biased random walks" in volume 16 of Combinatorica.

In 1993, Daphne Koller coauthored a paper with Steven Phillips and David Karger on "Finding the hidden path: time bounds for all-pairs shortest paths" in volume 22 of the SIAM Journal on Computing.

In 2002 I coauthored a paper with Daphne Koller, Uri Lerner, Sheila McIlraith and Maricia Scott on "Monitoring a complex physical system using a hybrid dynamic Bayes net" presented at the 18th Annual Conference on Uncertainty in Artificial Intelligence.

And thus I have an Erdös number of 4.

I want your Erdős number. Or at least yours + 1.

I have a pitifully high Erdős number of 6. What say you we take the code you've been helping me with in comp.text.tex (news:comp.text.tex) and coauthor a TUGboat article? I was going to write one on using GnuPG with TeX & friends anyway, and I could use your input regarding explaining the LaTeX code you've developed. I see you do a bit of ConTeXt work too so maybe we could work that in as well.
