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 showCompatibility Distribution Curves to each and everyof 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.
Very easy to copycat eHarmony, but very difficult to innovate: a 100 times better algorithm than eHarmony. http://onlinedatingsoundbarrier.blogspot.com.ar/2016/10/very-easy-to-copycat-eharmony-but-very.html ------------------- 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". 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

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.
Patents for the Online Dating Industry http://onlinedatingsoundbarrier.blogspot.com.ar/2013/03/patents-for-online-dating-industry.html Knowledge-based companies always need intangible-assets to show in their balances as part of their valuation. (Many investors / investment rules require it) although some of those online dating and social networking patents could be in the category of "bogus patents" One of the old tricks to make_up a balance sheet is to appreciate intangible assets. They had patented each and every stupidity they thought (in USA), and now it seems the patenting era had reached an end.
Just by chance read that sad new! ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Contradictory information from eHarmony and PROOF of FRAUD from the papers they had published using the OBSOLETE NORMATIVE PERSONALITY TEST BIG FIVE. BIG FIVE NORMATIVE TEST WAS REVEALED AS INCORRECT AND INCOMPLETE MODEL OF PERSONALITY !!! http://onlinedatingsoundbarrier.blogspot.com.ar/2017/08/contradictory-information-from-eharmony.html
BI: In 2012 you said you were unsure about an IPO. Has that changed? AA: Badoo for me, is like a favourite child. Quite an old baby, though. Badoo is not just a standalone product. It's a massive machine, a factory of features with lots of extremely talented and dedicated people working on it.
An IPO for every company means the beginning of an end, when the structure becomes more co-operative and innovative projects are hard to pass through line managers.
Believe it or not, but after 11 years of Badoo it still feels like a startup. We are open to ideas from every single member of our team. We test, make mistakes and create new exciting products for Badoo. What's not to love? I think I'll stick to it for a little while.

Bumble is not independent from Badoo structure (servers, database) There is NO ROOM for Tinder and Bumble in the same boat, they are in war between them now, so if MTCH acquires Bumble, will close it forever (put to sleep).
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. http://onlinedatingpost.com/archives/2011/07/match-wants-facebook-profiles-and-how/
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." http://onlinedatingsoundbarrier.blogspot.com.ar/2017/09/dnaromance-introduces-chemistry-to.html
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."
