Predicting your preferences with LikeBetter
This website called LikeBetter is like a game. It presents to you two photos, and you click on the one that you "like better". After a series of clicks, it will then try to state your personal preferences and even personality. The more photos you go through, the more it tries to figure you out. Sure, it's a fun way to waste your time, but the predictions are quite accurate. It predicted that my politics tend towards the liberal rather than conservative, which is quite right. It also said that I like spicy food, which is spot on. Certainly interesting to know what kind of algorithms it uses to do that. They also have a "cousin" called HateMore, which of course asks you to state which photo you "hate more". Try that out too!
