Abstract

The present invention is directed towards methods and computer readable media for annotating and analyzing user reviews on social review systems with inferred analytics. A reference framework is provided by creating context according to previous activity, bias, or background information of a given reviewer. The method of the present invention comprises receiving a first query identifying a given content item, generating a collection of content items based on one or more identical objective attributes associated with the given content item, identifying one or more subjective attributes associated with a given item in the collection of content items, and providing a reference framework to interpret the subjective attributes associated with each item in the collection. According to the method, the reference framework is created by analyzing previous generated subjected attributes, wherein the previously generated subjected attributes comprise one or more reviews of content items entered by a user into a social review system.
