The science of soulmates: Is there someone out there exactly right for you? On Valentine's Day, there's the temptation to believe that somewhere out there is The One: a soulmate, a perfect match, the person you were meant to be with. Across history, humans have always been drawn to the idea that love isn't random. In ancient Greece, Plato imagined that we were once whole beings with four arms, four legs and two faces, so radiant that Zeus split us in two; ever since, each half has roamed the earth searching for its missing other, a myth that gives the modern soulmate its poetic pedigree and the promise that somewhere, someone will finally make us feel complete. In the Middle Ages, troubadours and Arthurian tales recast that longing as courtly love, a fierce, often forbidden devotion like Lancelot's for Guinevere, in which a knight proved his worth through self-sacrifice for a beloved he might never openly declare.

A class-action lawsuit filed in a US federal court last Valentine's Day accuses Match Group – the owners of Tinder, Hinge and OkCupid dating apps, among others – of using a "predatory business model" and of doing everything in its power to keep users hooked, in flagrant opposition to Hinge's claim that it is "designed to be deleted". The lawsuit crystallised an ocean of dissatisfaction with the apps, and stimulated a new round of debate over their potential to harm mental health, but for scientists who study romantic relationships it sidestepped the central issue: do they work? Does using the apps increase your chances of finding your soulmate, or not? The answer is, nobody knows. "The science isn't there," says sociologist Elizabeth Bruch of the University of Michigan, who has studied online dating for a decade.

"If you decide to design your [programming] language [yourself], there are thousands of sort-of-amateur language designer pitfalls."- Python is regarded as the best language for programming Machine Learning. However, a lot of people, especially newbies, don't really know why this is so. This article will explain why it is in fact the best! As the two central themes around which this article is built, I feel it is only fair we explain Python and Machine Learning individually before getting to the main points.

Although a study published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, Rosenfeld discovered that heterosexual couples are more likely to meet a romantic partner through personal contacts and connections, in the past decade, many couples met online. Finding love through online dating sites/apps has become an everyday reality. With hectic lifestyles and breathtaking life paces, people are reluctant to go out and look for an appropriate date due to the lack of time and safety measures caused by the coronavirus pandemic. Therefore, dating applications have become popular and handy in the COVID-19 scenario to search for a soulmate or date online. It's not surprising that dating app development is a real trend in today's scenario.

Right from old-fashioned matchmaking to modern dating services, romantic matchmakers have focused on what singles themselves desired when they assisted them in the hunt for their soulmate. In other words, there has been nothing decisively new under the sun for several hundred years. At the request of DR3, researchers at DTU Compute have developed a self-learning algorithm and sent it in search of the recipe for a good relationship. "The algorithm receives a huge amount of information about each individual person in each of the 667 relationships, for example about food and transport habits, childhood town, height, number of brothers and sisters, pets, consumption patterns, and much more--including things that are not normally regarded as relevant to our choice of partner. The algorithm then looks for a pattern in the relationship based on the information. In this way, the algorithm itself learns what the ingredients in a stable relationship are, and how they are to be mixed," explains the creator of the algorithm, Professor Jan Larsen from DTU Compute.

Machine learning can benefit many different spaces, but the influencer marketing space is the newest to utilize AI in marketing matches. Brands have quickly found that influencer marketing is the fastest way to directly reach customers. Influencer marketing subverts ad blockers and "commercial aversion" that leads consumers to shy away from platforms that are ad-heavy. But it's not always easy to find the influencers who are best for your brand. Former director of FameBit (which has since been acquired by Google) Rob Ilas has been concocting a way to make "Soulmates" out of brands and influencers using deep machine learning, AI, and social listening.
