Abstract
A neural network input unitinputs a neural network in which a first network having a layer for inputting an anchor signal belonging to a predetermined class and a mixed signal including a target signal belonging to the class and a layer for outputting, as an estimation result, a reconstruction mask indicating a time-frequency domain in which the target signal is present in the mixed signal, and a second network having a layer for inputting the target signal extracted by applying the mixed signal to the reconstruction mask and a layer for outputting a result obtained by classifying the input target signal into a predetermined class are combined. A reconstruction mask estimation unitapplies the anchor signal and mixed signal to the first network to estimate the reconstruction mask of the class to which the anchor signal belongs. A signal classification unitapplies the mixed signal to the estimated reconstruction mask to extract the target signal, and applies the extracted target signal to the second network to classify the target signal into the class.
