It is believed the Marketing Team from Match Group sites like Match, OKCupid, PlentyOfFish (POF) and other sites from the group, does create fake profiles from inside to entice customers to subscribe with dirty credit card trickery to renew subscriptions, and the CEO is cognizant and endorses that situation!

High precision in matching algorithms is precisely the key to open the door and leave the infancy of compatibility testing.

lot of acquisitions, (but) Match Group is still small


https://finance.yahoo.com/news/match-group-can-get-away-acquiring-25-dating-sites-counting-151306438.html

Last year, Match Group generated almost USD 1.3 Billion in revenues, accounting for roughly one-third of the dating market’s USD 4 Billion in global revenues in 2017, according to Aegis Capital Managing Director Victor Anthony.
The Match Group had been doing all wrong, acquiring rotten companies to show illusory success to its investors.

The 3 milestone discoveries of the 2001 - 2010 decade for Theories of Romantic Relationships Development are:

I) Several studies showing contraceptive pills users make different mate choices, on average, compared to non-users.
"Only short-term but not long-term partner preferences tend to vary with the menstrual cycle"

II) People often report partner preferences that are not compatible with their choices in real life. (Behavioural recommender systems or other system that learns your preferences are useless)

III) What is important in attracting people to one another may not be important in making couples happy.
Compatibility is all about a high level on personality similarity between prospective mates for long term mating with commitment, and not meet other people with similar interests or political views.
At the paper  "Perceptions of Ideal and Former Partners' Personality and Similarity
The authors had written
".... mismatches in personality are a frequently mentioned cause for relationship break-up. If former partners indeed have dissimilar personalities, our findings underline how difficult it is for many people to select a mate with a similar personality, or, alternatively, how little value individuals put on finding a similar partner in terms of personality.
The present study's results, as well as the results found in previous studies (e.g., Eastwick & Finkel, 2008), may be used to educate people, especially singles, about what really matters in long-term relationships, for instance, similarity in personality, instead of complementarity."

AI to this point has generally only been used by dating companies to identify how desirable users are in an attempt to provide better matches, with even the biggest dating apps in the world hitting a wall when it comes to predicting compatibility of matches.

eHarmony selects Redis Enterprise for unmatched real-time performance



http://www.intelligentcio.com/eu/2018/06/21/eharmony-selects-redis-enterprise-for-unmatched-real-time-performance/
"eHarmony uses complex machine learning algorithms to anticipate the compatibility of pairs of users. "
The success rate of eHarmony is less than 10%.
eHarmony is ONLY a 17+  years old obsolete site, based on a big scientific fraud, only sustained by big marketing budget.
The Five Factor Model aka Big Five normative test used by eHarmony and its copycats, had been proven/revealed as an incomplete and incorrect model to assess/measure personality of persons.
Now it is a hoax, a fraud to use it (year 2018)

In case you did not see, recommender systems are morphing to compatibility matching engines, as the same used in the Online Dating Industry for years, with low success rates until now because they mostly use the Big Five model to assess personality and the Pearson correlation coefficient to calculate similarity.
Please remember: Personality traits are highly stable in persons over 25 years old to 45 years old.
 

The key to long-lasting romance: COMPATIBILITY is exactly STRICT PERSONALITY SIMILARITY and not "meet other people with similar interests or political views". 


Which is the RIGHT approach to innovate in the Personality Based Recommender Systems Arena? 
The same approach to innovate in the Online Dating Industry == 16PF5 test or similar to assess personality traits and a new method to calculate similarity between quantized patterns.
Online Dating sites have very big databases, in the range of 20,000,000 (twenty million) profiles, so the Big Five model or the HEXACO model are not enough for predictive purposes. That is why I suggest the 16PF5 test instead and another method to calculate similarity.

Personality Based Recommender Systems are the next generation of recommender systems because they perform far better than Behavioural ones (past actions and pattern of personal preferences)
 

That is the only way to improve recommender systems, to include the personality traits of their users.

They need to calculate personality similarity between users but there are different formulas to calculate similarity.

In case you did not see, recommender systems are morphing to compatibility matching engines, as the same used in the Online Dating Industry for years, with low success rates until now because they mostly use the Big Five model to assess personality and the Pearson correlation coefficient to calculate similarity.
Please remember: Personality traits are highly stable in persons over 25 years old to 45 years old.
 

The key to long-lasting romance: COMPATIBILITY is exactly STRICT PERSONALITY SIMILARITY and not "meet other people with similar interests or political views". 
 



Which is the RIGHT approach to innovate in the Personality Based Recommender Systems Arena? 
The same approach to innovate in the Online Dating Industry == 16PF5 test or similar to assess personality traits and a new method to calculate similarity between quantized patterns.
Online Dating sites have very big databases, in the range of 20,000,000 (twenty million) profiles, so the Big Five model or the HEXACO model are not enough for predictive purposes. That is why I suggest the 16PF5 test instead and another method to calculate similarity.

High precision in matching algorithms is precisely the key to open the door and leave the infancy of compatibility testing.
Without offering the NORMATIVE 16PF5 (or similar test measuring exactly the 16 personality factors) for serious dating, it will be impossible to innovate and revolutionize the Online Dating Industry.
