Abstract

According to an aspect of the present invention, there is provided a sound estimation model acquisition device including a model acquisition unit configured to acquire a mathematical model that estimates an estimated time series that is a time series satisfying a predetermined estimation condition from one or a plurality of time series on a basis of a first sound time series that is a time series indicating a first sound, a second sound time series that is a time series indicating a second sound, and first difference information indicating at least a partial difference between the first sound and the second sound, in which the mathematical model is a mathematical model that estimates the estimated time series on the basis of an input time series that is a time series indicating an input sound and second difference information that is information indicating at least a partial difference between the input time series and the estimated time series, and the estimation condition is a condition that a difference between a difference from the input time series and a difference indicated by the second difference information is smaller than a predetermined difference.
