Match Making with NEO4J by Max De Marzi.
From the post:
In the “Matches are the new Hotness” blog post, I showed how to connect a person to a job via a location and skills. We’re going to look at a variation on the theme today by matching people to other people by what they want in a potential mate. We’re gonna use Neo4j to bring the love.
There are a ton of opinions on what’s wrong with current dating sites. I don’t claim to know how to fix them, I’m just giving what may be a piece of the puzzle. We could try to match people on the things they have in common, but the saying “opposites attract” exists for a reason. We often don’t want mirrors of ourselves, but rather to supplement some perceived deficiency. However complete opposites may result in exciting relationships, but may not be long-lasting. Some kind of happy middle ground is probably best.
This should come with a warning:
Don’t try this at home!
😉
Romantic advice, even from close friends, is fraught with peril. The professionals are getting paid for the risk.
Still, graphing high school/college romantic relationships could interest young people in computing and graphs.
Max has a great pic at this post. I had forgotten how beautiful she was.
