AI instead of Cupid: Russian programmers presented Aura

Russian programmers from St. Petersburg State University have created a unique dating site based on the use of artificial intelligence. The application developed by them helps users find a partner, focusing on voice analysis of personality. The idea of the project called Aura is to use the Cattell psychological test to determine the nature of the personality and select a suitable partner.

In order to use the application, the user needs to record several voice messages during registration. In them, he has to answer five questions, talking about the most interesting cases from life, his achievements and how ideal relationships look in his opinion. The received voice samples are analyzed using artificial intelligence, and the neural network determines the character of the person.

The Cattell test, on the basis of which the neural network works, is one of the most common methods for assessing the psychological characteristics of a person. This test includes 185 questions and identifies 16 different factors that determine character.

After completing the test, the user must select the personal characteristics of the future partner, indicating the percentage from 0 to 100 for aspects such as sociability, intelligence, emotional stability, dominance and expressiveness. After collecting all the necessary parameters, the algorithm analyzes them and selects the most suitable partner. If the user is interested in the candidate presented by the neural network, he can put a "like" and send a voice message.

The developers claim that the portal is fully ready for use. Currently, the creators are looking for investors to accelerate the development of the service.

Earlier www1.ru wrote about another Russian application for finding a partner, which also uses AI as a "matchmaker". In the Flero application, AI analyzes the socionics, astrological data of the user, the results of internal tests and gives a percentage of compatibility.
