Abstract
To provide database generation techniques that can accurately and efficiently generate a database useable in text-based sound signal search. A sound signal database generation apparatus includes: a latent variable generation unit that generates, from a sound signal, a latent variable corresponding to the sound signal using a sound signal encoder; a data generation unit that generates a natural language representation corresponding to the sound signal from the latent variable and a condition concerning an index for a natural language representation using a natural language representation decoder; and a sound signal database generation unit that generates a record including the natural language representation corresponding to the sound signal and the sound signal from the natural language representation corresponding to the sound signal and the sound signal, and generates a sound signal database made up of the record.
