| Aug 22, 2019 at 7:53 | comment | added | Neil Slater | @Jack: You can only optimise to a single metric. It doesn't have to be the sum of individual scores, your could do some other maths. But whatever it is has to capture the goals you have in a single number. As soon as you have more than one value - with different points at which they maximise - then there is no way to make a decision automatically. | |

| Aug 21, 2019 at 18:03 | comment | added | Jack | @NuclearWang I kinda want both. but I'll settle for optimizing the number of good enough matches. | |
| Aug 21, 2019 at 17:33 | comment | added | Nuclear Hoagie | Also would be useful to refine the performance metric - do you want to maximize the number of matches of have a score of at least X, or do you want to maximize the average score over all matches, or something else? There will be different algorithms and different results depending if you want to focus on optimal matches for a small group, or if you want "good enough" matches for a larger group. | |

added clarification about scoring
|
| Aug 21, 2019 at 16:46 | comment | added | Neil Slater | Is the score only available in aggregate for the whole set? Do you have acess to the scoring metric? Quite important: Are you able to calculate changes to the score that occur when you swap partners between two or more pairs, faster than re-calculating the whole score? Also important: Are there any constraints on speed or other performance characteristics of the algorithm, or can the algorithm focus purely on the goal of optimising your score? | |
