Social matching systems aim at supporting the creation of new social ties by recommending people to people. While social matching is often considered to be synonymous with online dating (Match, OKCupid, eHarmony, etc.), it also supports a broader range of social needs, such as professional networking (e.g., LinkedIn people recommendations) or the formation of new friendships through mobile people discovery apps (e.g., Highlight, MeetMe).


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).
