Abstract:
Detection precision of a non-verbal sound is improved. An acoustic model storage unit 10A stores an acoustic model that is configured by a deep neural network with a bottleneck structure, and estimates a phoneme state from a sound feature value. A non-verbal sound model storage unit 10B stores a non-verbal sound model that estimates a posterior probability of a non-verbal sound likeliness from the sound feature value and a bottleneck feature value. A sound feature value extraction unit 11 extracts a sound feature value from an input sound signal. A bottleneck feature value estimation unit 12 inputs the sound feature value to the acoustic model and obtains an output of a bottleneck layer of the acoustic model as a bottleneck feature value. A non-verbal sound detection unit 13 inputs the sound feature value and the bottleneck feature value to the non-verbal sound model and obtains the posterior probability of the non-verbal sound likeliness output by the non-verbal sound model.
