This is very interesting stuff as to how softwares can predict dating results by running algorithms which will tell matches from statistical data. People are busy designing question and tracking their answers from users and building data to run their dating algorithms.
There is one such site called http://www.okcupid.com/ which is trying to predict matches and also functions are providing tips to find the match .
The best thing about it's matching engine is the way the match is determined. It says that the questions are raised by the users and not the staff and the questions are thrown to new users and existing ones and they are judged by their "goodness". Goodness is determined by people reacting strongly to the questions like "I disagree" or "I completely agree with this" and the best questions are those having these extreme reactions. These sort of questions are taken for deciding the matches.
The interesting thing I liked about the founders when they say that we are not "psychologist" but we are "math guys". The site is pretty new but they were survived by a blog (http://blog.okcupid.com/index.php/2009/06/25/rape-fantasies-and-hygiene-by-state/) since 2004.
I think these guys are on their way to capture a big pie from this match making industry.
