Abstract

A training data generation apparatus ( 10 ) according to the present invention includes a noise determination unit ( 11 ) that determines whether or not training data that is to be used in machine learning includes noise, and a noise addition unit ( 12 ) that generates new training data by adding noise to training data that has been determined by the noise determination unit ( 11 ) as not including noise.
