    "patent_abstract": "Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on computer storage media, for presenting user profiles on a user interface. In some implementations, a server receives a request to view profiles for each of one or more other users from a client device associated with a requesting user. The server applies matching criteria to a profile of the requesting user and profiles for respective users to identify profiles for a sequence of profiles. The server enables sequential display of information representative of the identified profiles on a user interface of the client device, including enabling display of first information representative of a first profile of the identified profiles, determining a user review attribute for the first profile, dynamically adjusting the sequence of profiles based on the user review attribute, and enabling display of second information representative of a second profile of the identified profiles in the adjusted sequence of profiles.",
