Hi all,
Looking for some advice here. Does anyone know a good place to start looking into matching algorithm in a n-dimensional space. For example, any dating site out there must be using some sort of algorithm to match 2 people. What I have read is that we can map characteristics of a person in a n-dimensional array with a point system for each characteristic. Once we have all (available) characteristics of a person, we can represent this person in a point within a n-dimensional array. Then, to match 2 person would be as simple as finding the shortest distance between 2 point in this n-dim array. Does anyone has any reference in implementation of these kind of algorithm? What's the best language to write these kind of stuff in?
