Matching Algorithm Configuration

As an engineer, I want to create a matching algorithm for a swiping app that connects like-minded people to discuss a particular topic once a month for 20 minutes, where the app determines the topic based on user interests.

Acceptance Criteria

• The algorithm should match users based on shared interests.
• Each user is allocated one match per month for a 20-minute discussion.
• User preferences for topics are considered in generating the monthly topic.
• The algorithm should ensure there are no repeat matches within a six-month period.
• Users should have the ability to report a match and opt-out of a discussion.
• Algorithm should maximize the diversity of discussion topics over time.
• Users are notified of their match and provided with the discussion topic at least 24 hours in advance.
