Abstract: A rating prediction engine builds and applies models to predict ratings based on an analysis of textual reviews and comments. The engine can build multiple models simultaneously through distributed parallel model building that employs deep convolutional neural networks (CNNs). The engine can also incorporate user moment feature data, including user status and context information, to provide better performance and more accurate predictions. The engine can also employ heuristic unsupervised pre-training and/or adaptive over-fitting reduction for model building. In some instances, the techniques described herein can be used in a service to predict personalized ratings for reviews or other published items, in instances where the original author of the item did not include a rating and/or in instances where the publication channel does not provide a mechanism to enter ratings.
