Brief
yenta is a professional networking app launched by Japanese startup Atrae that uses artificial intelligence (AI) to optimize profile matching for its users. In hosting this competition, Atrae strives to improve the AI it uses on its platform to enable yenta users to make new, valuable connections and expand their networks.
The goal of this competition is to optimize yenta’s matching algorithm by predicting the compatibility of two app users. This ensures that the app recommends the most relevant profiles to each user, and winning algorithms submitted for this competition may be used to optimize yenta’s profile recommendation algorithm. With your support, we aim to help people around the world make beneficial connections that last.
MAKE NEW CONNECTIONS WITH YENTA
Put simply, yenta is like Tinder for business professionals. Once you create a profile on the app, its native AI algorithm searches other users' profiles to find who you might be interested in and like to meet with. You swipe right on profiles that you're interested in, and if the other person is also interested and swipes right on your profile, you are able to message, meet up, and submit a review for each other.
Go to https://yenta.page.link/install_fbg to download and learn more about yenta, the professional networking app featured in this competition.
*The yenta app is currently only available in Japan and India.
We encourage you to download the app to expand your network, get insider tips on new job opportunities, and gain insights that could give you an edge in this competition!

Data Breakdown
The goal of this competition is to predict the level of compatibility of two given users to improve yenta’s profile recommendation algorithm. For this purpose, we classify the level of compatibility between user A and user B into 4 categories:
• No Match = 0: At least one of either user A or user B swiped left on the other, meaning there is no possibility of match.
• Match = 1: Both user A and user B swiped right on each other and matched.
• Matched and met but unfavorable review = 2: Both user A and user B swiped right on each other and matched, then met. After the meeting, user A gave user B a review of 1-3 out of 5 (an “unfavorable” review).
• Matched and met and favorable review = 3: Both user A and user B swiped right on each other other and matched, then met. After the meeting, user A gave user B a review of 4-5 out of 5 (a “favorable” review).
To build this model, we provide subsets of data of 2 different types: user data and interaction data.
Note that all of the data is anonymized through the use of IDs and multi-step vectorization models to ensure that user privacy is protected. IDs with low frequency are grouped into “other” categories with an ID of 999999.
• User data: These files are connected through the user_id column (e.g. 41245)
- user_ages.csv: User's age in years old
- user_educations.csv: User's school and (in some cases) degrees
- user_works.csv: Companies where user has worked along with information about the company's industry and size
- user_skills.csv: User's professional skills
- user_strengths.csv: User's strengths based on votes from other users after a meeting
- user_purposes.csv: User's reasons for using the yenta app
- user_self_intro_vectors_300dims.csv: User's vectorized profile biography (300 dimensions)
- user_sessions.csv: User's app session logs
• Interaction data: These files are indexed by from-to user_id pairs (e.g. 12345-52462)
- interaction_review_comments_300dims.csv: User A’s vectorized opinion of user B after meeting (300 dimensions)
- interaction_swipes.csv: User A’s swipe status of user B: 1 = right swipe (interested), -1 = left swipe (not interested)
- interaction_review_strengths.csv: User A’s review of the strengths of user B after meeting
• Train and test files: In order to train the model, we provide a train.csv file with pairs of user IDs and their corresponding scores
- train.csv: Score between (from) user A and (to) user B
- test.csv: A list of "from-to" IDs in the form of "userAid-userBid" that have to be predicted
The solution file to be provided should follow the form below. The from-to IDs should be the same IDs contained in the test.csv file and they must be in the same order.

A few minutes after submitting your solution, you will be able to see the accuracy of your solution on the submission page over a subset of the test data.
Final competition results will be based on the Private Leaderboard results, and the winner will be the person(s) at the top of the Private Leaderboard.
