Claim:
1. A computer implemented method to rank human profiles personalized to a selector, the method comprising: obtaining querying criteria, by a processor, to query a database comprising a set of human profiles, wherein each profile in the set of human profiles is associated with a plurality of attributes, wherein obtaining the querying criteria comprises determining the querying criteria, wherein determining the querying criteria comprises: determining, by the processor, a subset of human profiles from the set of human profiles based on the querying criteria and on a degree of relevance with respect to the querying criteria; obtaining, by the processor, a selection based ranking for the subset of human profiles, wherein the selection based ranking is a pair-wise ranking comprising selection of a human profile from a pair of human profiles, and wherein the pair of human profiles are selected from the subset of human profiles based on pre-defined rules; determining, by the processor, a ranking function based on the selection based ranking, wherein the ranking function is indicative of relevance to the selector towards at least one attribute from among the plurality of attributes; evaluating the ranking function by applying the ranking function on a sample set of human profiles, wherein the ranking function of the sample set of human profiles is compared with a prior ranked set of profiles, and wherein the accuracy of evaluation is based on a ratio of ranking function ranks of the sample set to the prior ranked set; and applying, by the processor, the evaluated ranking function to rank a fresh set of human profiles personalized to the selector.
