Grad A: So these little circles you have by the D ? Is that ? OK OK
Grad D: That s exactly what we are looking for
Grad B: I d I just I do not like having characterizing the constructions with location and path or li characterizing them like that Cuz you do not It seems like in the general case you would not know how how to characterize them I mean or for when There could be an interpretation that we do not have a node for in the I mean it just seems like has to have a node for the construction and then let the chips fall where they may Versus saying this construction either can mean location or path And in this cas and since since it can mean either of those things it would light both of those up
Grad E: I m thinking about it
Grad D: It will be the same So I think r in here we have `` I will go there `` right ? And we have our Info on So in my c my case this would sort of make this pause happy and this would make the Go there happy What you are saying is we have a Where X question Where X node that makes both happy Right ? That s what you are proposing which is in my mind just as fine So w if we have a construction pause node `` where is X `` it s going to both get the po posterior probability that it s Info on up Info on is True up and that Go there is True up as well Which would be exactly analogous to what I m proposing is this makes makes something here true and this makes something also something here true and this makes this True up and this makes this True up as well
Grad E: I kind of like it better without that extra level of indirection too You know with with this points to this points to that and so on because I do not know it
Grad D: because we get we get tons of constructions I think Because you know mmm people have many ways of asking for the same thing
Grad B: I change I changed my mind actually
Grad A: So I agree with that I have a different kind of question might be related which is OK so implicitly everything in EDU we are always inferring the speaker intent right ? Like what they want either the information that they want or It s always information that they want probably of some kind Right ? Or I I do not know or what s something that they
Grad D: The system does not massage you no No
Grad A: I I I do not OK So let s see So I do not know if the I mean i if th just there s more s here that s not shown that you it s already like part of the system whatever but `` where is X `` like the fact that it is you know a speech act whatever it is a question It s a question that queries on some particular thing X and X is that location There s like a lot of structure in representing that So that seems different from just having the node `` location X `` and that goes into EDU right ?
Grad D: Precisely That s that s
Grad A: So tha is that what you are t talking about ?
Grad D: So w Exactly We have su we have specified two
Grad A: wh what kinds of structure we want
Grad D: OK the next one would be here just for mood The next one would be what we can squeeze out of the I do not know maybe we want to observe the the length of of the words used and or the prosody and g a and t make conclusions about the user s intelligence
Grad A: OK So in some ways so in some ways in the other sort of parallel set of mo more linguistic meetings we ve been talking about possible semantics of some construction Right ? Where it was the simulation that s according to it you know that that corresponds to it and as well the as discourse whatever conte infor in discourse information such as the mood and you know other stuff So are we looking for a sort of abbreviation of that that s tailored to this problem ? Cuz that that has you know basically you know s it s in progress still it s in development still but it definitely has various feature slots attributes bindings between things
Grad D: Mm YOU that s exactly r why I m proposing It s too early to have to think of them of all of these discourse things that one could possibly observe so let s just assume human beings are not allowed to ask anything but `` where is X `` This is the only utterance in the world What could we observe from that ?
Grad A: OK That exactly `` where is X `` not the the choices of `` where is X `` or `` how do I get to X `` Just `` where is X ``
Grad D: Just just `` where is X `` And but you know do it do it in such a way that we know that people can also say `` is the town hall in front of the bank `` so that we need something like a w WH focus Nuh ? Should be should be there that you know this the whatever we get from the
Grad A: Wait so do or do not take other kinds of constructions into account ?
Grad D: Well if you if you can oh definitely do where possible Right ? If i if if it s not at all triggered by our thing then it s irrelevant and it does not hurt to leave it out for the moment but
Grad A: OK it seems like for instance `` where is X `` the fact that it might mean `` tell me how to get to X `` like Do y So would you want to say that those two are both like Those are the two interpretations right ? the the ones that are location or path So you could say that the s construction is a question asking about this location and then you can additionally infer if they are asking about the location it s because they want to go to that place in which case the you are jumping a step step and saying `` oh I know where it is but I also know how to get they want to seem they seem to want to get there so I m going to tell them `` So there s like structure
Grad E: Right th this it s not it s not that this is sort of like semantically ambiguous between these two
Grad A: i do you kn sort of that
Grad E: It s really about this but why would you care about this ? Well it s because you also want to know this or something like that right ?
Grad A: So it s like you infer the speaker intent and then infer a plan a larger plan from that for which you have the additional information you are just being extra helpful
Grad D: Think well this is just a mental exercise If you think about focus on this question how would you design pause that ? Is it do you feel confident about saying this is part of the language already to to detect those plans and why would anyone care about location if not you know and so forth Or do you actually I mean this is perfectly legitimate and I I would not have any problems with erasing this and say that s all we can activate based on the utterance out of context
Grad A: Mm And just by an additional link Oh
Grad D: And then the the the miracle that we get out the intention Go there happens based on what we know about that entity about the user about his various beliefs goals desires blah blah blah
Grad A: with context and enough user information
Grad D: Absolutely fine But this is the sort of thing I I propose that we think about so that we actually end up with nodes for the discourse and ontology so that we can put them into our Bayes net never change them so we all there is is `` where is X `` and Eva can play around with the observed things and we can run our better JavaBayes and have it produce some output And for the first time in th in in the world we look at our output and and see whether it it s any good You know ? I mean
Grad E: Here s hoping Right ? Now cross your fingers
Grad D: I I mean for me this is just a ba matter of curiosity I want to would like to look at what this ad hoc process of designing a belief net would actually produce If if we ask it where is something And maybe it also h enables you to think about certain things more specifically come up with interesting questions to which you can find interesting answers And additionally it might fit in really nicely with the paper Because if if if we want an example for the paper I suggest there it is So th this might be a nice opening paragraph for the paper as saying `` you know people look at kinds of at ambiguities `` and in the literature there s `` bank `` and whatever kinds of garden path phenomenon And we can say well that s all nonsense A A these things are never really ambiguous in discourse B B do not ever occur really in discourse but normal statements that seem completely unambiguous such as `` where is the blah blah `` actually are terribly complex and completely ambiguous And so what every everybody else has been doing so far in in in you know has been completely nonsensical and can all go into the wastepaper bin and the only
Grad E: That s always a good way to begin
Grad D: And the the the only Nice overture but you know just not really OK I m eja exaggerating but that might be you know saying `` hey `` you know some stuff is is actually complex if you look at it in in in the vacuum and and ceases to be complex in reality And some stuff that s as that s absolutely straightforward in the vacuum is actually terribly complex in reality Would be nice sort of also nice bottom up linguistics type message Versus the old top down school I m running out of time OK | The Bayes-net is going to be the focus of the presentation. In order to complete a functioning prototype of the belief-net, it was decided to start expanding the Ontology and Discourse nodes by working with a simple construction, like "where is X?". A robust analysis of such a basic utterance will indicate what the limits of the information derived from the construction are, as well as ways to design the whole module and fit other constructions in. |

bird: It would definitely be hard to make out such a thing in this lush field, I can see why you might have trouble with it.
dogs: I am afraid my owner will be disappointed in me.

Linda: Which one. And how did you get my number?
Diana: From Lora. Your other neighbor.
Linda: So, you must be from the grey house. Looking at me right now?
Diana: That's me. I am waiving to you now.

#Person1#: Did you tip the bellboy?
#Person2#: Yes, but I don't think it was enough. He looked disappointed. I gave him three dollars.

#Person2#: It's the same in Balloon. But I definitely think we over-tipped the cab driver. The fare was twenty dollars, and you gave him a five-dollar tip. That's twenty-five percent of the total! Too much!
#Person1#: I disagree. He was polite and informative, and he drove smoothly. One should reward good service.
#Person2#: I'll sign for dinner and charge it to our room. Let's see. The bill is one hundred dollars. That seems reasonable. How much tip should I leave?
#Person1#: Remember last month when we were in Europe? Maybe Californians use that same system they add the waiter or waitress into the bill, so you don't have to leave anything extra. | #Person2# thinks the tip for the bellboy wasn't enough while the tip for the cab driver was too much. But #Person1# thinks they tipped properly. |

Tina: We chose "The Late Bloomer" - classic romantic comedy, but quite a good one, I must say.

#Person2#: Does it mean that dogs have to stay at home all the time?
#Person1#: Sounds pretty cruel right? Maybe a dog park is a good idea.

#Person1#: Would they? | #Person1# tells #Person2# there will be a dog park. #Person2# thinks dogs should be allowed on the streets but #Person1# thinks the opposite because people wouldn't clean up after their dogs. |

#Person1#: The duties of this job include answering the phones and sending emails. How are you with both of those things?
#Person2#: I'm experienced in sending emails and I'm also fairly confident on the phone. When I was a teenager, I worked at a TV station answering phone calls. So this is probably pretty similar.

#Person2#: I'm an early riser, so that's easy for me. It also means less traffic, which I'm always a fan of.

#Person1#: I'Ve always wondered, what's the difference between English for Chinese students and English for native students?
#Person2#: I don't know. What do you think?
#Person1#: I think a Chinese student concentrates on written English, and uses it as a basis for communicating. From start to finish he's learning vocabulary and fundamentals of grammar. This is a very difficult way to learn.
#Person2#: What do natives get?
#Person1#: They get higher level English, which is more formal than everyday spoken English. They also deal with matters of style and creativity.
#Person2#: Do you mean that a native doesn't make any mistakes in grammar?
#Person1#: Absolutely not! Native speakers make a lot of grammar mistakes, especially if they come from a home where nonstandard English is spoken.
#Person2#: I suppose that only a small percentage of college students don't know standard English in American universities.
#Person1#: Actually there are more non-native speakers than you think. That's why it's so important to quit worrying about making mistakes. Just talk to everyone every chance you get. | #Person1# talks with #Person2# about the difference between English for Chinese students and English for native students. #Person1# thinks it is normal to make mistakes. |

Marketing: No I do not I do not like it

User Interface: No no That th there is no display there But it is on the place of the display And I think we should light this up much more than that part So the focus is on these two parts So you do not see all the buttons you else need

User Interface: This is how it is now Here Well we have volume

clergy: I can give you a place to sleep and some food, but stealing is not the way to live.
visitor: There are hundreds of us! Surely you would not have us subsist solely upon your charity for the remainder of our mortal lives?
clergy: Oh course not, we only have so much to give. Surely you could find jobs and earn a living, hunt for your own food, and purchase a piece of land for yourselves.
visitor: The King would levy heavy taxes - and this is unacceptable, what right does he have? We bow to no man.
clergy: You must be mistaken. Our King does not collect heavy taxes. You must have came from the kingdom just north of here with the immoral King in command.
visitor: All kings levy taxes upon their subjects, how does your allegedly taxless king raise revenue?
clergy: Our King only asks for minimal taxes, the rest comes from our people who donate more on their own accord. We have been successful in our kingdom this way for ages.

#Person2#: It was alright. I ran into Bill and we got to talking for a while. He ' s in a bit of a jam.
#Person1#: Why? What happened?

Sean: Friendly reminder of trade deadline today. Let's get those last minute trade request sent.
Rick: So does John get Lamar Jackson or is he scrambling for another qb??
Sean: Nick needs to really think about rolling with Blake. John needs a QB!
John: I think I would have rights to Lamar but I think the consensus is that he's on waivers so he's open. I guess I'm just hoping RGIII and Brock play or just wait...
Rick: Crazy it happens though! he one thing in the chart that isn't addressed. We could vote and go from there. I just want you to lose a player and Nick not to get Lamar.
John: In 15 years I've never seen a ream trade a big time RB or WR for a QB this late n the season do anything in the playoffs. That ends their season. Of course a one QB team isn't worth anything either. I have t take my chances.
Sean: Damned if you do, damned if you don't.
Rick: people's evidence #658 why the QB rule doesn't work.
John: I might have a way to drop the rule completely next year.
Sean: I guess we will have to talk about after the season.
Rick: Nobody liked my IR suggestion a couple of years ago. That solves a large percentage of the issue tho
Sean: 1 QB not 2 for a 14 league...
John: as I said, we can look at if after the season. I just wouldn't want to make it any easier. What has made the league so great its that it has been really difficult so far. | Sean reminds the guys about trade deadline today. Rick wants to vote. John will look at it after the season. |

Ms. Louise Chabot (Thrse-De Blainville, BQ): MadamChair I will come back to the bill introduced last week As parliamentarians we felt like we were watching a very bad play as I imagine the public did I say that it was theatre even though it should not be in this place The government decided to stage a play and act alone and unfortunately there were several acts missing A very important part of this bill was about supporting people with disabilities in this time of crisis However the government did not see fit to negotiate with the opposition parties even though it is in a minority position Despite this arrogance the Bloc Qubcois proposed solutions One of the things we proposed was to split the bill so that we could give this support to people with disabilities but the Conservatives did not want to do that We came back and asked for time to negotiate and give support to people with disabilities but the government defeated the motion We asked that the House be recalled today so that we could pass this part of the bill concerning support for people with disabilities but we are still in the dark Why are we abandoning people with disabilities ?
Hon. Ahmed Hussen (Minister of Families, Children and Social Development): I thank the hon member for her question We know this pandemic has deeply affected the lives and health of all Canadians and has disproportionately affected Canadians with disabilities in particular From the very beginning we have taken a disabilityinclusive approach to our emergency response to ensure that Canadians with disabilities get the support they need That is why we announced a onetime payment of 600 for persons with disabilities to address these expenses This will go a long way toward helping Canadians with disabilities We encourage and urge all parties in the opposition to support this measure We are confident that this measure along with other investments will benefit Canadians with disabilities and we hope to get the support of the other parties very soon
Ms. Louise Chabot: MadamChair I remind you that this measure was not passed because we were not allowed to do so A measure to help people with disabilities has been put in an omnibus bill We have tried here in the House to provide the means to give that support so I ask again can the government be counted on to give a response to people with disabilities ?
Hon. Pablo Rodriguez: MadamChair it was absolutely not an omnibus bill It contained assistance for the disabled of course but it also contained assistance for our seasonal workers as well as a number of other measures that the Bloc Qubcois opposed They refused to debate and when the question of splitting the bill came up the Conservatives refused to do that That is why there is no bill at the moment and that is very unfortunate
Ms. Louise Chabot: It was a Bloc Qubcois proposal to split the bill The government had not thought of it but they found that it was a good idea Let me return to the attack This bill proposed changes to the wage subsidy program it was supposed to make the CERB more flexible it proposed fines for fraudsters and since there was a little section about a benefit for the disabled the government took it for granted that we would support it without any negotiations with the parties However we set one very important condition : that the Liberal Party must get its hands out of taxpayers pockets in terms of the wage subsidy
Hon. Pablo Rodriguez: MadamChair as we listen to the Bloc Qubcois members we might think that they invented peanut butter and apple pie This bill contained a number of measures that all Quebeckers and all Canadians needed but the Bloc Qubcois refused to debate it No we did not follow the Bloc Qubcois example in splitting the bill we had thought of it a long time previously We have not been able to do that because of the Conservatives Because of them we can not help those living with disabilities
The Acting Chair (Mrs. Carol Hughes): MsChabot you have 45seconds left
Ms. Louise Chabot: We asked on a number of occasions for the House to be able to sit starting today to pass the part of the bill dealing with those with disabilities What is the status of that MadamChair ? We have not heard about it since
Hon. Pablo Rodriguez: MadamChair my colleague knows very well that things are not as simple as that There are procedural mechanisms unique to the House I hope that one day we will be able to pass this bill and be able to provide assistance for those living with disabilities I hope that the Conservatives will change their minds and give us their support | Hon. Ahmed Hussen mentioned that the government had announced a one-time of $600 for persons with disabilities to address the expense in need. However, this bill was refused by the Conservatives yet it was expected to be passed in one day. |

traveler: You must be very tired - you have dropped your bloom twice now. Would you like me to retrieve it for you? Or perhaps I can sell you something to keep it in. My goods are in the customs house at the moment but I am sure that I could find something for you among them.
guest: I don't need anything for my flower. You are hard to make out. Yes I dropped it twice.
traveler: I am just a simple merchant. Forgive me for being wary. Different places have different customs and so it is hard to know what to do from one place to the next, sometimes.
guest: You are forgiven... hehe
traveler: Thank you, friend. I suppose that my nerves are a little frayed. When I am travelling, my mind sees bandits around every corner and danger at every pass. Perhaps being a travelling merchant is not the best thing for my nerves, but a man has to make a living and it is all that I know.
