Claim:
1. A computer-implemented method of information filtering, the method comprising: receiving data by a recommender system, wherein the recommender system comprises a processor that executes computer-readable instructions to interact with a first memory space that stores data associated with reactions, and a second memory space that stores data associated with decisions, the processor further communicatively coupled to subject-monitoring equipment selected from a group consisting of a sensor, a camera, a microphone, and any combination thereof; deriving, using a first model, a first set of recommendation choices based at least in part on the data; deriving, using a second model, a second set of recommendation choices based at least in part on the data; blending, by the processor of the recommender system, using a blending function, the first set of recommendation choices and the second set of recommendation choices to create a third set of recommendation choices that are arranged in an order, wherein the blending function performs the blending based on: presenting the third set of recommendation choices to the user; monitoring a conscious decision made by the user by: monitoring subconscious reactions of the user with the subject-monitoring equipment, where the subject-monitoring equipment captures a measurement comprising at least one of a physiological measurement, an affective observable measurement, a paralinguistic measurement, and a time measurement, by: appending data representing the subconscious reactions of the user to the first memory space as previous subconscious reactions, wherein the data representing the subconscious reactions is based upon the captured measurement; appending data representing the conscious decisions of the user to the second memory space as previous conscious decisions; and updating at least one of the first model and the second model based upon information from at least one of the first memory space and the second memory space.
