According to an embodiment, an operation apparatus includes a first neural network, a second neural network, an evaluation circuit, and a coefficient-updating circuit. The first neural network performs an operation in a first mode. The second neural network performs an operation in a second mode and has a same layer structure as the first neural network. The evaluation circuit evaluates an error of the operation of the first neural network in the first mode and evaluates an error of the operation of the second neural network in the second mode. The coefficient-updating circuit updates, in the first mode, coefficients set for the second neural network based on an evaluating result of the error of the operation of the first neural network, and updates, in the second mode, coefficients set for the first neural network based on an evaluating result of the error of the operation of the second neural network.
