Dating app Bumble confidentially files for 2021 IPO with up to USD 8 Billion valuation ???
http://onlinedatingsoundbarrier.blogspot.com/2020/12/dating-app-bumble-confidentially-files.html

High precision in matching algorithms is precisely the key to open the door and leave the infancy of compatibility testing.
Without offering the NORMATIVE 16PF6 (or similar test measuring exactly the 16 personality factors) for serious dating, it will be impossible to innovate and revolutionize the Online Dating Industry.

Artificial Intelligence swiping right the dating industry ???

They had the bad habit to call / to mistake AI to any silly recommender system that learns your preference.
DO NOT mistake "artificial intelligence" with a behavioural recommender system. 



Viola.AI was BIG hoax, fraud, big OVERPROMISE

The biggest risks involve the emergence of new competitors that take market share away from Match Group's brands. The biggest concern for many investors is with Facebook (FB) and their rollout of Facebook Dating. The argument is that Facebook's access to a plethora of data and the scale of their business can allow for more optimal matching and a larger userbase than any other current dating apps.

PAPER: A Recommender System based on the analysis of personality traits in Telegram social network
https://onlinedatingsoundbarrier.blogspot.com/2020/10/paper-recommender-system-based-on.html

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 == 16PF6 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 16PF6 test instead and another method to calculate similarity.

Breaking "the online dating sound barrier" is to achieve at least:
3 most compatible persons in a 100,000 persons database.
12 most compatible persons in a 1,000,000 persons database.
48 most compatible persons in a 10,000,000 persons database.
100 times better than Compatibility Matching Algorithms used by actual online dating sites!

WorldWide, there are over 5,000 (five thousand) online dating sites

  • but no one is using the 16PF6 (or similar) to assess personality of its members!
  • but no one calculates similarity with a quantized pattern comparison method!
  • but no one can show Compatibility Distribution Curves to each and every of its members!!! i.e. if you are a man seeking women, to show how compatible you are with a 20,000,000 women database, and to select a bunch of 100 women from 20,000,000 women database.
  •  but no one is scientifically proven!  No actual online dating site  is "scientifically proven" because no one can prove its matching algorithm can match prospective partners who will have more stable and satisfying relationships (and very low divorce rates) than couples matched by chance, astrological destiny, personal preferences, searching on one's own, or other technique as the control group in a peer reviewed Scientific Paper for the majority (over 90%) of its members. 

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

The Online Dating Industry needs INNOVATIONS, not more bells and whistles.
Lack Of Innovation & Decadence can summarize the Online Dating Industry.
C-Level executives are more worried about their golf scores than their company’s long term strategy and innovations.
C-level executives are cooking barbecues under the water (selling smoke) and not paying attention to latest research from Academics which could be beneficial for the Online Dating Industry.
