New AMRD method enables lightweight speech emotion recognition models

Researchers have developed Adaptive Multi-teacher Relational Distillation (AMRD), a novel method to create lightweight speech emotion recognition (SER) models suitable for on-device applications. AMRD addresses challenges in knowledge distillation by adaptively weighting teachers based on their batch reliability and incorporating a relational distillation loss to capture inter-sample structural information. Experiments on the IEMOCAP and CREMA-D datasets demonstrated that AMRD surpasses traditional single-teacher distillation baselines across various student architectures. AI

IMPACT Enables more efficient on-device speech emotion recognition by creating lightweight models.

    AMRD: Adaptive Multi-Teacher Relational Distillation for Lightweight Speech Emotion Recognition

    On-device speech emotion recognition (SER) is critical for real-time applications, yet large self-supervised models that excel at SER are too costly for edge devices. Multi-teacher knowledge distillation can compress them into a lightweight student, but two challenges remain: tea…
