Abstract
Embodiments are associated with conditional teacher-student model training. A trained teacher model configured to perform a task may be accessed and an untrained student model may be created. A model training platform may provide training data labeled with ground truths to the teacher model to produce teacher posteriors representing the training data. When it is determined that a teacher posterior matches the associated ground truth label, the platform may conditionally use the teacher posterior to train the student model. When it is determined that a teacher posterior does not match the associated ground truth label, the platform may conditionally use the ground truth label to train the student model. The models might be associated with, for example, automatic speech recognition (e.g., in connection with domain adaptation and/or speaker adaptation).
