The recently proposed Mean Teacher has achieved state-of-the-art results in several semi-supervised learning benchmarks. The Mean Teacher method can exploit large-scale unlabeled data in a self-ensembling manner. In this paper, an effective Couple Learning method based on a well-trained model and a Mean Teacher model is proposed. The proposed pseudo-labels generated model (PLG) can increase strongly-labeled data and weakly-labeled data to improve performance of the Mean Teacher method. The Mean Teacher method can suppress noise in pseudo-labels data. The Couple Learning method can extract more information in the compound training data. These experimental results on Task 4 of the DCASE2020 challenge demonstrate the superiority of the proposed method, achieving about 39.18 baseline system by a significant margin.
