Abstract

According to one embodiment, a signal data processing apparatus includes processing circuitry. The processing circuitry obtains first signal data of a plurality of frames that are in time series, selects a processing target frame among the frames and a reference frame that is similar to the processing target frame, inputs the first signal data of the processing target frame and the first signal data of the reference frame to the machine learning model, and outputs second signal data in which a deficient part of the first signal data corresponding to the processing target frame is reduced.
