Then, an inquiry vector, and a metric tensor that defines the inner product of the inquiry vector and the data are input. A score based on a value such that the order in the list for each of the components is subtracted from the predetermined number and the component of the inquiry vector for the components in the inner product is added for all the components with respect to each data. The predetermined number of data elements is output on the basis of the score.
