Companies are trying, unfortunately the incentives seem sort of messed up to me. Dating websites have an incentive to encourage people to use their service, not get into wonderful long term relationships. Hence I would expect them to optimize for relationships with an intense honeymoon phase, rather than relationships with a high chance of long term success and compatibility.
Since we’re after long term success, feedback will occur on the order of decades—making this a very hard optimization problem.
