An estimation device includes a memory, and processing circuitry coupled to the memory and configured to receive an input of an input audio signal that is an audio signal in which sounds from a plurality of sound sources are mixed, and an input of supplemental information, and output an estimation result of mask information that identifies a mask for extracting a sound of any one of the sound sources included in an entire or a part of a signal included in the input audio signal, the signal being identified by the supplemental information, cause a neural network to iterate a process of outputting the estimation result of the mask information, and cause the neural network to output an estimation result of the mask information for a different sound source, by inputting a different piece of the supplemental information to the neural network at each iteration.
