Abstract

A particular user selectively searches a video repository by measuring physiological parameters of a plurality of users of the video repository while the users watch at least some of the videos of the video repository, determining attraction values of the users to the at least some of the videos based, at least in part, on the physiological parameters, forming groups of the users by maximizing an aggregate of attraction values to a subset of videos of the video repository that have been watched by at least one member of each of the groups, and searching only the subset of videos of the video repository that have been watched by at least one member of a particular group that corresponds to the particular user. The physiological parameters may include heart rate, eye movement, gaze direction, and/or facial expressions. The heart rate may be measured using wearable technology.
