<p>I'm joined this week by Jon Morra, director of data science at eHarmony to discuss a variety of ways in which machine learning and data science are being applied to help connect people for successful long term relationships.</p> <p>Interesting open source projects mentioned in the interview include <a href="https://github.com/eHarmony/face-parts-service">Face-parts</a>, a web service for detecting faces and extracting a robust set of fiducial markers (features) from the image, and <a href="http://eharmony.github.io/aloha">Aloha</a>, a Scala based machine learning library. You can learn more about these and other interesting projects at the <a href="http://eharmony.github.io/">eHarmony github page</a>.</p> <p>In the wrap up, Jon mentioned the <a href="http://www.meetup.com/Los-Angeles-Machine-Learning-Data-Science/">LA Machine Learning meetup</a> which he runs. This is a great resource for LA residents separate and complementary to <a href="http://datascience.la/">datascience.la</a> groups, so consider signing up for all of the above and I hope to see you there in the future.</p>
