Abstract
To provide a technique to estimate a location relating to a user who has not filled in information about the location in a profile field in social media such as a microblog. A method for estimating association between a user in social media and a location includes the steps of acquiring a first content posted to the social media by a first user associated with a first location, determining regional localization of the first content on the basis of the first location, acquiring a second content posted to the social media by a second user not associated with a location, determining the degree of a relationship between the first content and the second content, and associating the first location with the second user on the basis of the localization and the degree of the relationship.
