Wow, I didn't expect the paper to get on people's radar so soon. This is Rashied, I'll be happy to answer questions as much as possible/I'm available!
I worked with Rashied last summer on his approach to commercializing this. He's a really solid guy and has his heart in the right place toward helping people. Great to see him get some visibility here. He's hard at work turning this into multiple services and I fully expect to see great success with it, nerdy though it may sound at first.
> "FIG. 2. A simple toy model for determining the cumulative probability of finding a match as an urn model."<p>As if modeling love in an algorithm isn't nerdy enough, leave it to the scientists to demonstrate that model using....urns.<p>(Above meant in good fun. I actually think this is an interesting paper / idea and know more than 1 person who is torn by the same fundamental question. Looking forward to seeing this in product/service form.)
I'll probably make a new thread for this shortly, but our webpage is up. Come take a personality test. This helps build our database so we can get the Beta up and running faster (pending funding, naturally).<p>www.nanaya.co
