Abstract
A sound source separating device includes: a signal acquiring unit that acquires the sound signal including mixed sounds from a plurality of sound sources; a start information acquiring unit that acquires start information representing a start timing of at least one sound source among the plurality of sound sources; and a sound source separating unit that separates a specific sound source from the sound signal by setting a binary mask controlling presence of the sound source using a variable of '0' and '1' and using a Markov chain for the activation on the basis of the start information and decomposing the spectrogram generated from the sound signal into the base spectrum and the activation through non-negative matrix factorization using the set binary mask S.
