Abstract: A signal filtering device includes: an information generation unit that generates feature information on related information on a target signal; an extraction unit that extracts mask information from a mixed signal including the target signal on the basis of the feature information; and a mask processing unit that estimates the target signal from the mixed signal using the mask information. The information generation unit may encode the related information into a multidimensional vector and generate a linear transformation result of the multidimensional vector as the feature information. The information generation unit may encode the related information into a first multidimensional vector, encode the mixed signal into a second multidimensional vector, derive a similarity in time series between the first multidimensional vector and the second multidimensional vector, and generate a result of a weighted sum of the similarity in time series and the mixed signal as the feature information.

Abstract: A signal filtering device includes: a separation unit that separates a predetermined number of possibility signals from a mixed signal as possibilities of a target signal; an encoding unit that encodes related information of the target signal into a first feature vector and encodes the predetermined number of possibility signals into the predetermined number of second feature vectors; and a selection unit that derives a similarity between the first feature vector and the second feature vector for each of the possibility signals, and selects a possibility signal of the possibility signals having the highest similarity as the target signal from the predetermined number of possibility signals. The selection unit may derive an inner product of the first feature vector and the second feature vector as the similarity. The predetermined number of possibility signals may be voice signals associated with the predetermined number of sound sources.
