Matchmaking using Fuzzy Analytical Hierarchy Process, Compatibility Measure and Stable Matching for Online Matrimony in India

چکیده
Use of online matrimony for matchmaking is rapidly growing in India. One of the major difficulties faced by the users of such websites is the long time taken to realize the matches. We propose an integrated approach to matchmaking in e-matrimony environment using fuzzy analytical hierarchy process considering multiple criteria involved in the process. The objective of the study is to enable users to search their partners effectively and efficiently and narrow down to the desired matches so that the chances of matchmaking through online portal are maximized. A compatibility index, that is match metric, is developed that enhances the probability of matchmaking with reduction in lead time. Furthermore, Gale-Shapley stable matching algorithm is used to help customers obtain the desired shortlist of profiles with a suggested stable match. An illustrated hypothetical example of matchmaking using an Indian matrimony portal is presented, and the use of the proposed methodology is demonstrated. Copyright © 2012 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
