Abstract:
A mask estimation apparatus for estimating mask information for specifying a mask used to extract a signal of a specific sound source from an input audio signal includes a converter which converts the input audio signal into embedded vectors of a predetermined dimension using a trained neural network model and a mask calculator which calculates the mask information by fitting the embedded vectors to a mixed Gaussian model.
