Computerized systems and methods for group identification and content delivery
Systems, methods, and computer-readable media are provided for group identification and content delivery. In accordance with one implementation, a computer-implemented method is provided that includes operations performed by at least one processor. The operations of the method include generating, based on identification data, an identification profile for each member of a set of members, the set of members being associated with a viewing group. The set of members may comprise all of the members of the viewing group or any subset of the members of the viewing group. The operations also include determining an individual score for each member of the set of members for each media file of a plurality of available media files based on the corresponding identification profile. Additionally, the operations include determining a group score for each of the plurality of available media files based on the corresponding individual score of each member.
