This looks very cool, I’m gonna try it later today.

Out of curiosity, why the name Erdos? AFAIK Erdos was neither a statistician, data scientist nor AI researcher.

He sure solved many probability/combinatorics problems and famously had many many collaborators.

No specific reason. Mainly because he was one of the most productive and collaborative mathematicians of all time. We actually considered "Poisson" at some point but ended up going with Erdos.
