Abstract
The continuous shift of communication and entertainment services towards the Internet has created a lot of opportunities but also problems. Suddenly, we find ourselves flooded with information from a wide variety of sources and filtering becomes a key issue.
Service providers understand this and are embedding context-awareness into their applications, mainly ‘Personalisation’ and ‘Recommendation’. Towards this end, we are going to present our on-going research on physiological end-user profiling that is taking place at the University of Essex. Our aim is to show that the application of affective computing techniques makes it possible to create comparable personalised film signatures. These signatures form a better metric for creating similarity matrices as opposed to discrete ratings currently used in the vast majority of recommendation engines. Applied to video recommender systems, this should lead to better accuracy in similarity modeling and more accurate recommendations.
