Abstract

A parameter included in a fundamental frequency pattern of a voice can be estimated from the fundamental frequency pattern with high accuracy and the fundamental frequency pattern of the voice can be reconstructed from the parameter included in the fundamental frequency pattern. A learning unit 30 learns a deep generation model including an encoder which regards a parameter included in a fundamental frequency pattern in a voice signal as a latent variable of the deep generation model and estimates the latent variable from the fundamental frequency pattern in the voice signal on the basis of parallel data of the fundamental frequency pattern in the voice signal and the parameter included in the fundamental frequency pattern in the voice signal, and a decoder which reconstructs the fundamental frequency pattern in the voice signal from the latent variable.
