Abstract: a frequency domain conversion unit converts an input signal of oversampling of a first predetermined multiple into a signal in a frequency domain. a rate conversion unit converts a signal being multiplied by a coefficient by a frequency domain filter into a signal of oversampling of a second predetermined multiple. a time domain conversion unit converts the converted signal into a signal in a time domain. a gradient calculation unit calculates a gradient of a loss function for a filter coefficient by using an error back propagation method using, as the loss function, magnitude of a difference between a signal of oversampling of the second predetermined multiple being converted into a signal in the time domain, and a predetermined value determined by oversampling of the second predetermined multiple. a coefficient updating unit updates the coefficient of the frequency domain filter, based on the calculated gradient.
