Abstract: A computer system processes reviews to generate personalized recommendations based on a user's preferences. User preferences relating to a subject category are received. A query is processed to retrieve one or more reviews for a plurality of subjects of the subject category, wherein each review is associated with a review score. Each review score of the one or more reviews for each subject is adjusted based on user preferences for a corresponding subject category and a subject score is calculated based on the adjusted review scores for each subject. A ranked list of subjects is generated according to the subject score of each subject. Embodiments of the present invention further include a method and program product for processing reviews to generate personalized recommendations based on a user's preferences in substantially the same manner described above.
