🙋 Grouping people so everyone is happy.
If you've ever had to group people together (esp. kids) and everyone wanted something different, you know it's a pain. This small programm tries to remove the hassle doing that.
This project is build in python 3.6, so make sure you have python 3 installed (at least nobody has tried running this in python 2.x)
Then just clone this repo and run the programm
git clone https://github.com/jonathanvoelkle/GroupEm.git
cd groupem
python3 groupemYou might have to change the input file (optional, see the following).
If you want to output the assigned groups to a file, you can also run.
python3 groupem > f.txtto save them to a file called f.txt.
The programm tries to locate a file data/data.csv (with has to have the said structure).
A sample dataset is provided under sample/data.csv.
Note that a set of data with a large number people or large group-variability can take a (very, very) long time to process, you might have to modify this algorithm.
The code assumes you use a integer based rating system (e.g. stars, higher value means higher preferences) (and transforms them into a cost function to be used in linear_sum_assignment()).
- The math in this doc looks weird
- Yeah, I know (see #3) (If you know a solution, let me know, or submit a PR)
- I found a bug/have a idea for improvement/etc
- Feel free to submit a PR
