This paper aims at comparing two methods for review evaluation. We have chosen to analyze them through the prism of the theory of confirmation of expectations. To this end, we compare two classical methodologies coming from the marketing and the machine-learning fields. Both methods were run in a separate way, and we confronted the results.
