PAPER: An Efficient Similarity Measure for User-based Collaborative Filtering Recommender Systems Inspired by the Physical Resonance Principle
http://onlinedatingsoundbarrier.blogspot.com.ar/2017/12/paper-efficient-similarity-measure-for.html
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.
http://onlinedatingsoundbarrier.blogspot.com.ar/2017/01/paper-comparative-study-of-people-to_14.html
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".
WorldWide, there are over 5,000 (five thousand) online dating sites
- but no one is using the 16PF5 (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.
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.

-------------------
eHarmony should be closed forever for fraud!
The success rate of eHarmony is less than 10%.
eHarmony is ONLY a 17+ years old obsolete site and a HOAX, based on a big
scientific fraud, only sustained by big marketing budget.
The Big
Five normative test used by eHarmony, had been proven/revealed as an
incomplete and incorrect model to assess/measure personality of persons.
It is a HOAX, a FRAUD to use the Big Five normative test in year 2018.
eHarmony was copycatted in several countries like
the online dating sites EliteSingles in Canada, Australia, USA, UK, Chile, Mexico; eDarling in Spain, German, France, Russia;
also TeAmo in
Russia is another copycat of eHarmony;
esync (eSynchrony) in Singapore,
MiMediaManzana in Colombia, Peru, Mexico, Chile, etc.,
Marrily in India
and
LemonSwan in Germany and other countries.
The
key to long-lasting romance; COMPATIBILITY is: STRICT PERSONALITY
SIMILARITY and not "meet other people with similar interests".

Without
offering the NORMATIVE 16PF5 (or similar test measuring exactly the 16

innovate and revolutionize the Online Dating Industry.
The Online Dating Industry does not need a 10% improvement, a 50% improvement or a 100% improvement. It does need "a 100 times better improvement"
All other proposals are NOISE and perform as placebo.

Be alerted, be informed Bumble is backed by Badoo (80%, majority-owned by Badoo)
It is said Badoo is related to Russian mafia of white hat hackers in the spyware business.
Badoo is in big war with Tinder (Match Group)
When Match Group (fka IAC Personals) bought OKCupid (7 years ago) for an astronomical amount of money, the OKCupid team had the task to copycat Badoo, but they failed in that mission.
IAC / Match Group "acquired" HatchLabs to "develop" Tinder copycat of Badoo.

My bet: Badoo is in the spyware business, no more than that!
Many complaints about Match dot com suggest ... database is full of old & inactive profiles, scammers, fake profiles, etc!
Perhaps Only way to sustain that huge revenue is / WAS creating fake profiles from inside to entice customers to subscribe. ???

Pheramor DNA-Based Dating Using 'Attraction' Genes Attracts Questions
http://onlinedatingsoundbarrier.blogspot.com.ar/2018/02/pheramor-dna-based-dating-using.html
Genetic Matchmaking is mainly based on the T_shirt Experiment that only proved:
normally cycling
women (not pregnant and not taking contraceptive pills) are
(temporarily) attracted by the perspiration scent of clothes used by men
with a Major Histocompatibility Complex MHC more dissimilar to theirs,
and not proved: women attracted by those men for long term mating with commitment.
and
2 Scientific Papers debunk their claims.
1) "Human oestrus" Gangestad & Thornhill (2008)
"Only short-term but not long-term partner preferences tend to vary with the menstrual cycle"
http://onlinedatingsoundbarrier.blogspot.com.ar/2017/12/about-article-pheramor-at-gizmodo.html
2) "Does the contraceptive pill alter mate choice in humans?" Alvergne & Lummaa (2009)
"..
whereas normally cycling women express a preference for MHC (Major
Histocompatibility Complex) dissimilarity in mates, pill users prefer
odours of MHC-SIMILAR men, indicating that pill use might eliminate
adaptive preferences for genetic dissimilarity."
................
"....,
Roberts et al. attempted to eliminate these potential confounds by
adopting a within-subject design in which women's mate preferences were
assessed before and after they began taking the pill. Women starting the
pill showed a significant preference shift towards MHC SIMILARITY
compared with three months before the pill was taken, a shift that was
not observed in the control group of normally cycling women."

Please remember personality = temperament + character
Personality is composed of two basic types of traits:
traits that an individual acquires, dimensions of character;
and
traits with biological underpinnings, dimensions of temperament (Cloninger 1987)
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."
