Abstract
A population formation method is disclosed. Keywords are extracted from public information of providers included as elements in a first provider group. Each element is calculated based on a predetermined attribute value. A first attribute is for the providers of the public information. The attribute value is changed with time. Each of rules set for duplicate keywords is to determine one of the attributes by using one of the duplicate keywords. Provider groups are formed for new public information based on the duplicate keywords and the rules. A provider group having a similar relationship with a first provider group is specified by a distribution of the attribute value of a different attribute from the first attribute. A new provider group corresponding to the first provider group is formed by the providers, for whom the attribute value of the first attribute corresponds to the predetermined attribute value.
