Using mathematical models to find love

I first thought this would be some flashy book title by an obscure author, merely trying to sensationalize a rather naive, boring statistical approach. I was surprised to find that it was the internet behemoth, Google that had churned this research paper into a product. The application is currently in beta.

Interestingly, Google managed to find a way to commercialising this application with contextual advertising. The online dating market is estimated at over USD 2.3 billion. And as no new innovation has happened in this segment in the last 2 years, Google might be instrumental in reshaping the industry.
