Haftka"],"abstract":"A method to produce personalized classification models to automatically\nreview online dating profiles on Tinder is proposed, based on the user's\nhistorical preference. The method takes advantage of a FaceNet facial\nclassification model to extract features which may be related to facial\nattractiveness. The embeddings from a FaceNet model were used as the features\nto describe an individual's face. A user reviewed 8,545 online dating profiles.\nFor each reviewed online dating profile, a feature set was constructed from the\nprofile images which contained just one face. Two approaches are presented to\ngo from the set of features for each face, to a set of profile features. A\nsimple logistic regression trained on the embeddings from just 20 profiles\ncould obtain a 65% validation accuracy. A point of diminishing marginal returns\nwas identified to occur around 80 profiles, at which the model accuracy of 73%\nwould only improve marginally after reviewing a significant number of\nadditional profiles.","url_abs":"http://arxiv.org/abs/1803.04347v1","url_pdf":"http://arxiv.org/pdf/1803.04347v1.pdf","source":{"archive":"pwc-archive (Hugging Face), CC BY-SA 4.0","snapshot":"2025-07-28","licence_url":"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/legalcode","row_kind":"abstracts"},"code_links":[{"paper_slug":"classifying-online-dating-profiles-on-tinder","repo_url":"https://github.com/cjekel/tindetheus","is_official":1,"mentioned_in_paper":1,"mentioned_in_github":1,"framework":"tf","reach":null}],"tasks":[{"task_slug":"classification","task_name":"General Classification"}],"methods":[{"method_slug":"logistic-regression","method_name":"Logistic Regression"}],"datasets_introduced":[],"methods_introduced":[],"results":[],"syntology":{"atlas_url":null,"mcp":null,"developers":"https://syntology.ai/developers"},"arxiv_metadata":null,"syntology_extracted_results":null}
