Roommate Matcher

Introduction ​

What is Roommate Matcher? ​

Roommate Matcher is a questionnaire-based roommate matching program designed to pair individuals based on their compatibility in living preferences and lifestyle choices. By gathering information through a set of targeted questions, the system analyzes key factors such as cleanliness habits, sleep schedules, social preferences, and study environments. Using a deep learning model with a weighted algorithm, Roommate Matcher ranks potential roommates based on similarity scores, providing users with the best possible match to ensure a harmonious living experience. This tool has been adopted by Zhixin Residential College at the Southern University of Science and Technology, serving more than 600 freshmen.

Architecture ​

Roommate Matcher is structured into three main modules: API Server (Backend), Student Frontend, and Admin Frontend.

  • API Server (Backend): This module handles all backend operations, data processing, and interfacing with the database. Access the repository at RMMT-API.

  • Student Frontend: A user interface where students can fill out the questionnaire and view their matches. Visit the repository at RMMT-Student.

  • Admin Frontend: This interface allows administrators to manage questionnaires, student data, and match configurations. Check out the repository at RMMT-Admin.
