#Person1#: I'm here with Margaret Seabrook, the CEO of creative toys. In today's show, we're going to discuss the hottest new toy of two thousand seventeen, the Super Spinner. Margaret, welcome.
#Person2#: Thank you, Brian. It's great to be here.
#Person1#: OK, so tell us about this new toy.
#Person2#: Well. It's similar to a relaxation ball in its function, but it's useful for anyone who has problems focusing.
#Person1#: So how does it work?
#Person2#: It's about the size of a cookie and it has 3 small round parts that can move in any direction. Basically, you just hold it in between your thumb and middle finger and spin it. That's it.
#Person1#: That's it?
#Person2#: Yeah, it's very popular. Not only with children, but with adults as well.
#Person1#: A professor at MIT by the name of Jill Mean Lee has publicly stated there is no scientific or medical evidence for your claims about its benefits. Many schools also have banned the toy, saying it leads to a lack of focus in the classroom.
#Person2#: Well, that professor is allowed to have her opinion.
#Person1#: Fair enough, and who invented it?

Ana: I try :)
Mike: So what are you gonna study?
Ana: Psychology next year, hopefully. I still need to find another professor to write me a recommendation though.
Mike: Well, I'm sure you will. I remember doing that neuroscience course with you, you were the favourite of all the lecturers :)
Ana: I guess... it's easy to be good when you're passionate about something. I'm actually planning to focus on cognitive psychology.
Mike: Have you read "How the mind works" by Pinker?
Ana: I have, he has a great understanding of evolutionary psychology, such a fantastic mind. Maybe one day I will be lucky enough to go to his lecture...

villager: Okay, listen Wise Daniel, the only reason I'm up here is because I was paid a gold piece by the king to come and see why there has been a light in the abandoned castle.

Industrial Designer: Ed d do you know what season of the year or time of the year is the most important for TV remote control sales ? Would it be the Christmas season by any chance ? Sports season Which sport season ?
Marketing: Right before the Eur the World Cup World soccer World Cup soccer they need those things that they have their hands g occupied and they need to be able to talk to the con remote control

User Interface: That is actually good place to advertise it too
Industrial Designer: And to work with motion pictures There might be some motion pictures that are coming out that are coming out on DVD that they need to have a m special remote control to work with it so we could maybe work out a campaign with with Sony Pictures for example Maybe some management has got relationships there we can leverage
Project Manager: Yes the that of course I will convince the management to do that | Industrial Designer proposed to choose a special time of year which is most important for the TV remote control sales to launch the product for user testing.

#Person1#: Well, I'm sure all our listeners would love to be brought up to date on the latest in tiny televisions.
#Person2#: It's an expanding market, that's for sure, and they seem to be getting smaller every year.
#Person1#: Which countries are dominating the market?
#Person2#: At the moment it's Japan, principally. In the spring of 1982 Sony introduced the Watchman?
#Person1#: Is that the Walkman?
#Person2#: No, the Watchman is a portable black and white TV set with a tiny screen and aerial.
#Person1#: How big is the whole thing?
#Person2#: Oh, I'd say about 35 cm by 12 cm and it weighs only a couple of kilograms.
#Person1#: Was it a success from the start?
#Person2#: Funnily enough, a Sony executive said that no one would want to watch a TV while walking around-and also a slightly larger model could be bought for half the price!
#Person1#: Really?
#Person2#: But, despite this pessimistic view, sales of this model far outnumbered projections.
#Person1#: Well, you never can tell! How big was the initial production?
#Person2#: The company started with 2,000 units per month and increased to 5,000 by the end of 1982, but they still couldn't keep up with the demand.
#Person1#: So I suppose they upped the production levels even higher.
#Person2#: It was much more radical than that! In the spring of 1983 Sony pulled out all the stops and launched the Watchman all over again with a new model.
#Person1#: Oh, what's it like?
#Person2#: Well, it's 20 per cent smaller and the price is 25 percent less...
#Person1#: Mmmm.
#Person2#: and the components were designed from scratch.
#Person1#: And what about production levels?
#Person2#: They quadrupled to 20,000 units a month just for the Japanese market!
#Person1#: Wow! The Watchman certainly seems to have taken off.
#Person2#: Indeed it has.
#Person1#: And I believe there were other Japanese companies as well.
#Person2#: Yes. At the end of 1982 Hattori-that's H-A-T-T-O-R-I--you know, the makers of Seiko watches-well, they unveiled an even smaller TV, around 3era, which is built into a wrist-watch.
#Person1#: Incredible!
#Person2#: It certainly is. The rest of the set is carried separately in your pocket and it's about the size of a packet of kingsize cigarettes.
#Person1#: And how does it work?
#Person2#: It has a liquid crystal display screen. The TV receiver and battery pack fit into your pocket, and they're connected by a cord to the watch.
#Person1#: Is there a headphone?
#Person2#: Oh, yes, that's plugged into the receiver as well.
#Person1#: Seems a bit complicated, that one, with all the wires and bits and pieces.
#Person2#: Yes, it does.
#Person1#: Any other Japanese models?
#Person2#: Yes, Casio-that's C-A-S-I-O. Their latest is a calculator-sized TV about one-third the bulk of the Watchman and with 1983 production figures of 2000 units a month.
#Person1#: I see.
#Person2#: And, according to a spokesman, they hope to match their calculator sales, which are about 25 million units per year.
#Person1#: Very impressive. And no doubt other Japanese companies will jump on the bandwagon.
#Person2#: Most likely.
#Person1#: Now, could you tell us about other countries making these tiny TVs?
#Person2#: Of course. From Sinclair in England there's one similar in size to the Casio, and their production levels were 1 million for 1983.
#Person1#: Obviously they're planning on backing a winner!
#Person2#: How right you are. A representative said they expect a mass-market response, not just a novelty item.
#Person1#: And just which market are the manufactures aiming at?
#Person2#: Mainly the commuters who spend hours going to and from work. These TVs will provide relief from the monotonous train and bus rides.
#Person1#: Well, thank you for keeping us in touch with this extremely popular gadget.
#Person2#: My pleasure, and happy viewing to all of you with those TVs. | #Person1#'s interviewing #Person2#. #Person2# thinks tiny televisions are an expanding market and Japan now is dominating the market since the appearance of the Watchman in 1982. #Person2# introduces its size and weight and the sales of this model far outnumbered projections. It is said that the production levels were even higher when Sony launched the Watchman with a new model in 1983. Then #Person2# introduces Hattori that unveiled an even smaller TV and explains how it works to #Person1#. After that, #Person2# talks about Casio and their calculator-sized TVs with 1983 production figures of 2000 units a month. #Person2# tells that Sinclair in England also made the tiny TVs and the manufacture aim at providing relief to the commuters on their ways. |
#Person1#: Do you like Barry?
#Person2#: No, not very much. He's too ambitious and dishonest.

#Person1#: What kind of person do you consider yourself to be?
#Person2#: I think I'm polite, careful, relaxed and shy.
#Person1#: Oh, I don't think you're shy! You are always chatting with new people when we go to a party.
#Person2#: Well. Yes, but those people always start talking to me. I never talk to them first. Perhaps I'm not as shy as I think. Anyway, you're certainly not shy!
#Person1#: You're right. I love going out and making new friends.
#Person2#: So, you'll be at my birthday party on Friday?
#Person1#: Of course! | #Person1# and #Person2# come to an agreement towards the impression of Barry and Paul but a disagreement on whether #Person2# is shy. |
person: who are you? where did you come from?
castaway: fell from aboard a ship, where am i?
person: You are on an island in the middle of the lake. where were you going?
castaway: We were on our way to England, and strong wind came against our ship. Thats the last thing i can remember
person: England! we are on a lake, how were you going to get there?
castaway: i guess i entered a wrong ship then, i thought i had finally found a way to run from my debtors
person: I am also on the run for various reasons, winter will be here and food is scarce
castaway: so, how do you survive winter here?
person: I have not planned that out yet, people are looking for me and I need to get somewhere warm
castaway: I guess we need to figure out something really fast, else we both die of cold
person: Maybe we can build shelter with these bones and use the moss for cover. We can try to make a fire using these bones possibly
castaway: perfect, i'll we get started immediately

Industrial Designer: So do I unplug this bit here ?
Marketing: Got To plug you in
Project Manager: Yep Might have to hit function F eight but it looks like it is going to come up Yep Cool
Industrial Designer: Right That is page one of my presentation
Marketing: Very nice For your first PowerPoint it is lovely
Industrial Designer: So the method We are going to have to understand how remote controls work and res successfully complete this project remote control works as follows This is all pretty basic stuff you guys sends message to another system so there is an energy source involved in that like a battery or solar power something along those lines there is an integrated circuit which is the microchip and that actually compose the messages and usually the way a a remote control works is it sends infrared bits to another system A user interface controls the chip basically that is the casing and the buttons and accordingly the messages as well So my findings I just did a preliminary study here and I found that too much metal in remote design could potentially because interference with the ability of the remote to send commands And too much metal can cause remotes to behave unexpectedly by receiving false signals too much metal is used sometimes and people pick up radio signals and the like and there is also the possibility of the remote catching on fire and injuring the customer just think of those lawsuits that would be really bad Therefore I suggest primarily plastic construction components Just some ideas that I had energy source it is kind of hip to be eco friendly so I thought maybe we could do something with solar power with an alkaline battery backup the user interface I was since we can not use metal I was thinking maybe a high grade recycled plastic The chip silicon based chip I do not really see any way around that we can not really be different in that respect the sender well I am thinking infrared because it is the industry standard multi channel that is a word I made up I do not really know what it means PAL and NTSC compatible and probably a two hundred foot range and the receiver of course is any number of electronic devices but in this case it will only be TVs personal preferences I really think that we should use plastic as opposed to metal the company simply can not afford this kinds of lawsuits which adm admittedly is going to come at the cost of a certain aesthetic value
Project Manager: Is is there a way that we can use modern types of polymers or mo modern types of plastics that maybe do have some kind of aesthetic value like if a white like if we talk about like well like on the lapt on these laptops and other ones they use a a pretty nice you can do i is there some kind of nice colo der quality plastic that we can work with ?
Industrial Designer: that should not be a problem for example the plastic they have on your laptop there is something that is perfectly possible for us to do That is the end of my presentation
Project Manager: Great Thank you very much Nathan if next we can have the User Interface Developer go ahead and make a brief presentation that would be great as well S plug yourself in here Mm hit function F eight real quickly hold down Mm
Marketing: Looks like you are in
Industrial Designer: Is it plugged in well ? There it goes Computer adjusting
User Interface: Well so Here we have a my technical functions design presentation so a few of the requirements we need here we n basically need to operate an electronic device it needs to be universal and possibly operate several different types of devices although we now find that that that is no problem
Project Manager: sorry I could not get that g to use before
User Interface: so some of my findings basically want to send messages to a television set that would be any number of different things such as switch on the television switch to the next channel that sort of thing I think we are all quite quite intelligent and know know what a normal remote control does now some of the other things I found is a a complicated remote control sorry that we can not quite see my red there very well but this remote control has many functions so it can do a lot of things but it it is quite complicated and most users will find it find that they will not use most of the functions because they do not know how to use them and do not want to take the time to learn how to do it As you also notice it is quite a boring design Another remote control slightly different it is a simpler remote control many less buttons but has many fewer functions m much easier for the user to manipulate and use it also has a bit of a cheap look and it is also quite boring So Revolutionise the idea of a remote control so attain the functionality of a complicated device but use a simple formatted display for the user to to work with And I was going to add another slide here but I did not quite have time there Just incorporating some of the ideas that we had previously like having multiple face but it is
Project Manager: Great Thanks for that Ron
Marketing: Does that mean I am up ?
User Interface: I can plug you in
Marketing: Oh that would be perfect Thank you Slide show up and running
Project Manager: Give it a little bit
Marketing: Or not Oh there we go Perfect So this is me basically I was looking through some marketing reports that we have got and we had a usability test where we were actually sort like watching a hundred people use TV remotes and see what it is that they are using and then they filled out a questionnaire about what they like and what they do not about their general TV remote control practices pretty much through testing we were finding out that most of the time everybodys used to using changing the channel turning it on using the volume m the majority of the time that is all that is going on the other functions happen for some people they are important but the primary uses are really really basic and so big complicated remotes like one we saw in the last presentation are really not the general publics use they are not using a lot of it they do not need it they even find it frustrating when there are all those buttons that they do not know what to do with And we also found out that fifty percent of our people their the worst thing about a remote is how often they lose it And then they can not find it in the room So I think what we were talking about with a pager or something will really come into play with a lot of these people there is also a survey about what they liked about remotes and pretty much they all think they are hideous and not very useful and the younger demographics are all really interested in voice recognition options I do not know if that is something we are ready to look into technically that is up to the design people but it is s something worth thinking about especially since the younger demographics obviously the one that is going to keep growing so if that is the direction we are headed in it is something to think about but basically it really is the primary functions and getting it to look nice which are the standards So it is a good start for us
Project Manager: That is great Thank you Sarah Right So
Marketing: Need to unplug this ?
Project Manager: yep I will just switch that back here I will finish up with just a bit of discussion plan on for the next phase Right so I think we have covered most of these important questions through this through you guyss presentations we have got y the Industrial Designer suggests or pretty much emphatically suggested that we need to go with plastic Sarah she is recommended that we go for simpler functions so fewer functions but we need to decide who are we selling this to you s your stats suggested that seventy five percent of people under thirty five wanted thought about voice control so do we want to go for that or do we want to go for an older demographic and my thought is we have got w if we are going to go for a sleek look I mean we are putting the fashion in electronics
Marketing: We are not catering to the pensioners of the world I do not think so
Project Manager: Yes So maybe this we should look into this younger demographic So | Except for the Project Manager, the other three members of the group all did a presentation to show their research findings on the television remote. The Industrial Designer suggested not to use too much metal in case they would disturb the signals. After him, the User Interface focused on the functions that he proposed neither to make the remote too confusing nor cheap-looking. The last one is the Marketing and she introduced the consumer preference as well as the existing problem of easily losing the remote. |

ambassador: Hello fair knight. I come to you with urgent news.
Summarize the dialogue | Ambassador brings urgent news to the fair knight. |
Grad E: huh So that was encouraging And that that that s encouraging for for the idea of using it in an interactive system like And another issue I m I m thinking about is in the SmartKom system So say twe twelve seconds in the earlier test seemed like a good length of time but what happens if you have less than twelve seconds ? And So I w bef before Back in May I did some experiments using say two seconds or four seconds or six seconds In those I trained the models using mean subtraction with the means calculated over two seconds or four seconds or six seconds And here I was curious what if I trained the models using twelve seconds but I f I gave it a situation where the test set I was subtracted using two seconds or four seconds or six seconds And So I did that for about three different conditions And I mean I th I think it was four se I think I think it was something like four seconds and six seconds and eight seconds Something like that And it seems like it it it hurts compared to if you actually train the models comment using th that same length of time but it it does not hurt that much you usually less than point five percent although I think I did see one where it was a point eight percent or so rise in word error rate But this is w where even if I train on the model and mean subtracted it with the same length of time as in the test it the word error rate is around ten percent or nine percent So it does not seem like that big a d a difference
Professor C: But it but looking at it the other way is not it what you are saying that it did not help you to have the longer time for training if you were going to have a short time for I mean why would you do it if you knew that you were going to have short windows in testing
PhD A: it seems like for your I mean in normal situations you would never get twelve seconds of speech right ? I m not e you
PhD B: You need twelve seconds in the past to estimate right ? Or l or you are looking at six sec seconds in future and six in
Grad E: N n For the test it s just twelve seconds in the past
PhD B: No it s all Oh OK
PhD A: Is this twelve seconds of regardless of speech or silence ? Or twelve seconds of speech ?
Professor C: The other thing which maybe relates a little bit to something else we ve talked about in terms of windowing and so on is that I wonder if you trained with twelve seconds and then when you were two seconds in you used two seconds and when you were four seconds in you used four seconds and when you were six and you basically build up to the twelve seconds So that if you have very long utterances you have the best but if you have shorter utterances you use what you can
Grad E: Right And that s actually what we are planning to do in But s so I g So I guess the que the question I was trying to get at with those experiments is `` does it matter what models you use ? Does it matter how much time y you use to calculate the mean when you were tra doing the training data ? `` | Grad E thought that the idea of doing mean log magnitude spectral subtraction was figuring out the effect of training time on the model performance. It seemed that longer times had diminishing returns after a certain point. |
