&lt;p&gt;In no particular order, here are some facts about me:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;My last name is pronounced &lt;code&gt;sol-dah-ee-nee&lt;/code&gt;; stress is on the first &lt;strong&gt;i&lt;/strong&gt; (&lt;code&gt;/solda'ini/&lt;/code&gt; in &lt;a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Help:IPA/Italian"&gt;IPA&lt;/a&gt;).&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;My &lt;a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Erd%C5%91s_number"&gt;Erdős number&lt;/a&gt; is 3: I coauthored &lt;a href="https://aclanthology.org/2024.findings-emnlp.323/"&gt;a paper&lt;/a&gt; with &lt;a href="https://www.neilheffernan.net/"&gt;Neil T. Heffernan&lt;/a&gt;, Neil Heffernan &lt;a href="https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-642-30950-2_52/"&gt;wrote a manuscript&lt;/a&gt; with &lt;a href="https://web.cs.wpi.edu/~gsarkozy/"&gt;Gábor N. Sárközy&lt;/a&gt;, Gábor Sárközy &lt;a href="https://doi.org/10.37236/1323/"&gt;collaborated&lt;/a&gt; with Paul Erdős.
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;What&amp;rsquo;s your Erdős number? You can use &lt;a href="https://www.csauthors.net/distance/luca-soldaini/paul-erdos"&gt;csauthors.net to find out&lt;/a&gt;!&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;My &lt;a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Six_Degrees_of_Kevin_Bacon"&gt;Bacon number&lt;/a&gt; is 5 if you agree with &lt;a href="https://x.com/saumyamalik44"&gt;Saumya&lt;/a&gt; that podcasts should count. &lt;a href="https://www.natolambert.com"&gt;Nathan&lt;/a&gt; invited Olmo leads on &lt;a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dS7QI99uJVc"&gt;his podcast&lt;/a&gt;, Nathan &lt;a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_1f-o0nqpEI"&gt;podded&lt;/a&gt; with &lt;a href="https://www.imdb.com/name/nm10253502"&gt;Lex Fridman&lt;/a&gt;, Lex interviewed &lt;a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kevin_Spacey"&gt;Kevin Spacey&lt;/a&gt; &lt;a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XJTMQtE-MIo"&gt;in 2024&lt;/a&gt;, Kevin co-starred with &lt;a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brad_Pitt"&gt;Brad Pitt&lt;/a&gt; in &lt;a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seven_(1995_film)"&gt;Se7en (1995)&lt;/a&gt;, and Brad was in &lt;a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sleepers_(film)"&gt;Sleepers (1996)&lt;/a&gt;.
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Adding the two, my &lt;a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Erd%C5%91s%E2%80%93Bacon_number"&gt;Erdős-Bacon number&lt;/a&gt; is 8. I would like a less cursed Bacon path&amp;hellip; Do you have a spot for me in your next movie/TV production?&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Like &lt;a href="https://www.mathemakitten.dev/#work"&gt;Helen&lt;/a&gt;, I enjoy building unnecessary things with machine learning.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
