Abstract: Embodiments of the invention can be utilized in multiple ways to assist in generating “predictions” with regards to the expected ratings or rankings of products or services. These predictions can then be used to inform consumers which products or services are expected to be reliable, good values, etc. By using one or more machine learning processes that are trained using product and product review data, embodiments of the invention are able to generate predictions of expected ratings behavior for new products and/or similar products. Further, when the product and product review data is associated with a time at which the data was generated, embodiments of the invention are able to predict how a product or a product's features will be viewed in the future.
