A transformation-parameter calculating unit calculates a first model parameter indicating a parameter of a speaker model for causing a first likelihood for a clean feature to maximum, and calculates a transformation parameter for causing the first likelihood to maximum. The transformation parameter transforms, for each of the speakers, a distribution of the clean feature corresponding to the identification information of the speaker to a distribution represented by the speaker model of the first model parameter. A model-parameter calculating unit transforms a noisy feature corresponding to identification information for each of speakers by using the transformation parameter, and calculates a second model parameter indicating a parameter of the speaker model for causing a second likelihood for the transformed noisy feature to maximum.
