A simple matching algorithm for a mentorship program.
This algorithm is designed to pair mentors and mentees who apply to the mentorship program. The program is facilitated by a few volunteers to support hundreds of applications, necessitating a system to efficiently manage the matching process.
- Based on the rules we've set and the discussions we've had about processing the mentorship program, we understand how we want to match mentors and mentees. However, we are all product managers with limited coding experience.
- My experience with writing using AI has been incredibly fun! 🎉 Therefore, I wanted to extend this use case to coding.
- Detailed reasons are available here, but access is restricted to those involved in the mentorship program that inspired me.
Use matching_1_score.py and matching_3_loop.py
matching_1_score.pycalculates the scores between each mentor and mentee, filtering out some based on predefined rules.matching_3_loop.pyinitially matches mentors to mentees ensuring that every mentor has a match. It then repeats the process to match mentors with unmatched mentees until there are no unmatched mentees left.- The final result ensures that each mentor is paired with 1 to X mentees, depending on the availability and matching criteria.
