<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To much more precisely estimate evaluation for the content of a user. Ž<P>SOLUTION: A predictive evaluation value computing unit 25 performs an operation by using an estimated expression using a collaborative filtering algorithm to a user evaluation matrix made up of an evaluation value indicating an evaluation as to each of a plurality of previously registered users with respect to a plurality of previously registered contents. Then, the predictive evaluation value computing unit 25 obtains a predictive evaluation matrix by subjecting each of temporary predictive evaluation matrix obtained by an operation using a plurality of the estimated expressions to linear combination by using a linear combination coefficient. The predictive evaluation matrix includes the predictive evaluation value as the estimation value of the evaluation value of content which has not been evaluated by the user. This invention may be applied to a recommendation system. Ž<P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2010,JPO&INPIT Ž
