Hi Lydia, That helps a lot, and makes it way more interesting. Rather than being a one-size-fits-all solution, as it seems to me, each property or each type of property (eg. different relationships) will need individual attention and different methods/metrics for recommendation.
The examples you gave, like continents, sex, relations like father/son, uncle/aunt/spouse, or place-oriented properties like place of birth, country of citizenship, ethnic group etc. - each type has a certain pattern to it (if a person was born in the US, US should be one of the countries he was a citizen of; US census/ethnicity statistics may be used to predict ethnic group etc.) I'm already starting to chalk out a few patterns and how they can be used for recommendation. In my proposal, should I go into details regarding these? Or should I just give a few examples and explain how the algorithms would work, to explain the idea?
