crunching the numbers on your answers

English to French Other IT (Information Technology)
Contexte : site de rencontres

So X and their parent company Y have not been known for their security or transparency. You’d think a dating app that’s open about their "love for data" would be better at keeping it safe. Indeed, X’s mysterious (and possibly discriminatory?) matching algorithm involves crunching the numbers on your answers to 15 to 500 personality-quiz-style questions -- some of which are written by ChatGPT.

Merci pour votre aide car ce n'est pas très clair pour moi

Ma proposition n'est pas très originale par rapport à la votre. Je retiens la traduction trouvée sur WordReference qui, au regard de la définition du Collins (entre autres), me semble être finalement la plus proche du sens du texte.

English term (edited): crunching the numbers on your answers to 15 to 500 personality-quiz-style questions

analyser vos reponses à entre 15 et 500 questions ...

"crunching numbers" is not just any "treatment of data / traitement de données"- it implies that there is a massive amounts of data to analyse - far beyond what could be done without the help of some computer.

crunch (the) numbers
To compile, calculate, and/or analyze a large amount of numerical data, especially as relates to finance

Crunching the Numbers: Uncovering Hidden Insights with Data Mining
In today’s data-driven world, the ability to make informed decisions based on reliable data analysis has gained unprecedented importance. One powerful process that is continuing to revolutionize this landscape is data mining. This process, which involves extracting usable information from large sets of raw data, holds the key to uncovering hidden insights and revealing data patterns not immediately visible to the naked eye.

ALSO

"crunching numbers" does NOT necessarily involve "calculations" of the purely numerical kind. Especially if the "numbers crunching" is done on 500 personality-quiz-style questions. You don't "calculate" a personality profile. The point here is to analyse the answers to these 500 questions, and the resulting "personality profile" will hardly be any kind of numerical value.

"Analyser" is the nearest I can think of.

"entre autres " because "involves" means that this algorithm does also other things - like searching for a match, once the personality profile has been determined.

The mention of 500 questions implies "big data set", so just "analyser" should be enough.
