Abstract: Analyzing the condition of a road surface by using a frequency-of-interest or a resonance sound in a tire. A training audio signal is sent to a learning unit, a label generator and a frequency selection model that does not complete learning. The training audio signal is obtained by collecting driving noise generated when a vehicle travels on a road. The label generator generates a label audio-of-interest signal by attenuating a band other than a frequency-of-interest band in the training audio signal. The frequency selection model derives a training imitated audio-of-interest signal imitating an audio-of-interest signal by performing a plurality of operations in which an unlearned weight is applied to the training audio signal. The learning unit calculates a generation loss that is a difference between the training imitated audio-of-interest signal and the label audio-of-interest signal, and performs optimization of updating the weight of the frequency selection model.
