CoFeel : Using Emotions to Enhance Social Interaction in Group Recommender Systems

Group recommender systems aim to suggest items of interest to a group or a community of people. Different from recommending to individuals, group recommender systems should also consider social interaction within group members. Prior art suggest that designing social interfaces is translated to a set of methods that enhance mutual awareness among group members. In this paper, we address emotional awareness. After a report in the current art, we describe how our work contributes to emotion awareness in group recommenders by introducing CoFeel, an interface that aims to enhance social interaction.
