Mapstr still have secrets for you?

Where can I find Mapstr Matching in my application?

How does Mapstr Matching work?

Mapstr Matching draws on the strength of the mapstr community and the intelligence of Machine Learning technology. This feature is based on the places a user has added to their map, and compares their desires, interests and habits with all the other users in the world to give them access to tailor-made recommendations of places, adapted to their personal tastes.

It's like having a friend in every city, who knows exactly what you like and recommends the best spots!

Why is the Mapstr Matching algorithm unique?

You've probably already seen the results of Netflix or Spotify's algorithms for recommending similar films or music.

Generally speaking, these platforms use "collaborative filtering" and often even "implicit collaborative filtering" algorithms to compare users with each other based on the films and music they've watched (without an unwatched film being perceived as a negative rating, hence the implicit).

There are lots of papers and tools explaining how to do collaborative filtering, lots of off-the-shelf solutions that could be used. Except that Netflix has around 5,000 films in its catalog... Spotify has around 60 million, with lots of analyzable criteria, such as music style, tempo, band, musicians, etc. On these platforms, the "hits" are the most important. On these platforms, the "hits" are watched or listened to by a large proportion of their users.

On the other hand, mapstr already contains more than 90 million registered places, with no factual criteria that can be organized ("French restaurant" is vague...), among which the most popular are only "added" by less than 2% of users! In terms of matrix calculation, we end up with matrices filled with 0s, and some very rare 1s, in proportions that have nothing to do with those of Netflix & co... and therefore wouldn't work with all the "classic" algorithms.

This is why Mapstr Matching is unique! It's a considerable amount of work carried out by the mapstr team, based on unique data: the mix of our users' visit intentions and approved visits.
