I want to give an overall similarity rating to users to assess whether they are a suitable match or not. My data might look something like:
User1: Casual Player, Speaks English, Plays Mondays
User2: Serious Player, Speaks French, Plays Tuesdays
I'm looking for a technique to compute how similar their data is. I've researched a lot about data mining/clustering etc. and nothing I can find really pinpoints this. Can anyone help me out? It would be good to get something I can research a lot too.
