Abstract

An approach to identifying alternate soft labels for training a student model may be provided. A teaching model may generate a soft label for a labeled training data. The training data can be an acoustic file for speech or a spoken natural language. A pool of soft labels previously generated by teacher models can be searched at the label level to identify soft labels that are similar to the generated soft label. The similar soft labels can have similar length or sequence at the word phoneme, and/or state level. The identified similar soft labels can be used in conjunction with the generated soft label to train a student model.
