Task No. 1
MATCHING
НBuild an algorithm to solve a matching problem. According to transactions and clickstream data, build impersonal vectors for users. Then, based on the created vectors, match each vector of the Bank's client's transactions with a vector based
on click streaming from a partner and rank them according
to the probability of matching.
