However, self-training based methods often train with a gradually increasing number of samples, whose performances vary a lot depending on the number of pseudo-labeled samples added. In this paper, we propose a teacher-student asynchronous learning~(TSAL) framework based on the multi-source supervision signal consistency criterion, which implicitly mines pseudo-labels through consistency constraints. Specifically, the TSAL framework contains two models with exactly the same structure. The radical student uses multi-source supervision signals from the same task to update parameters, while the calm teacher uses a single-source supervision signal to update parameters. In order to reasonably absorb student's suggestions, teacher's parameters are updated again through recursive average filtering. The experimental results prove that asynchronous-learning framework can effectively filter noise in multi-source supervision signals, thereby mining the pseudo-labels which are more significant for network parameter updating. And extensive experiments on 300W, AFLW, and 300VW benchmarks show that the TSAL framework achieves state-of-the-art performance.","url_abs":"https://arxiv.org/abs/2012.06711v1","url_pdf":"https://arxiv.org/pdf/2012.06711v1.pdf","source":{"archive":"pwc-archive (Hugging Face), CC BY-SA 4.0","snapshot":"2025-07-28","licence_url":"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/legalcode","row_kind":"abstracts"},"code_links":[{"paper_slug":"teacher-student-asynchronous-learning-with","repo_url":"https://github.com/Wastoon/TSAL","is_official":0,"mentioned_in_paper":0,"mentioned_in_github":1,"framework":"pytorch","reach":null}],"tasks":[{"task_slug":"facial-landmark-detection","task_name":"Facial Landmark Detection"}],"methods":[],"datasets_introduced":[],"methods_introduced":[],"results":[],"syntology":{"atlas_url":null,"mcp":null,"developers":"https://syntology.ai/developers"},"arxiv_metadata":null,"syntology_extracted_results":null}
