Sian Gwenllian AM: Do you therefore believe that this needs to be on the face of the Bill ? That is you do not say this in your evidence I would like to know your opinion on that Scotland is going to be making it a duty for Scottish Ministers to raise awareness of the impact of the Bill So far the Welsh Government says that we do not need to do that in Wales Would not it make it clearer for you if it was a clear duty on the face of the Bill for example as it was with the Human Transplantation Wales Act 2013 ? There was a duty in that Act for Ministers to promote transplantation Surely that awareness raising aspect would be clearer for everyone if it was on the face of the Bill Do you have an opinion on that ?
Huw David: Well Welsh Government have given that commitment and I know the Welsh Government honour every commitment that they make—Laughter
Sian Gwenllian AM: That is why I am asking
Huw David: I do not know whether that is necessary—I am not a legislator I think that there is obviously an inherent interest in Welsh Government raising awareness because we have to raise awareness effectively for this to be successful otherwise we will have parents who feel that they are being criminalised and that is the last thing we want I think it is worthy of consideration but as I say I am not a legislator or a lawyer so I do not know what implications that will have long term But to be fair to Welsh Government I think that commitment is one that I am sure will be honoured because Welsh Government will want to make a success of this Bill if it does receive Royal Assent
Sian Gwenllian AM: But is it clear who would pay for all of that ?
Huw David: I have suddenly changed my mind—Laughter I think it should be a duty on Welsh Government Ministers—absolutely I do not need to check with lawyers or legislators There we go And that is the WLGA position I do not need to ask the other 21 leaders on that either Laughter
Sian Gwenllian AM: Would not it make it clearer if there was a clear duty on the face of the Bill that awareness raising had to happen ? It would be clearer then for local authorities and people in the frontline services what needs to happen
Sally Jenkins: I am going to echo Huw Laughter | Huw David said he was not sure whether this was necessary or not since he was not a legislator. Obviously, he thought there was an inherent interest in Welsh Government raising awareness. This was worthy of consideration. Then he said this should be a duty on Welsh Government Ministers. |

the captain of the guard: LOVERS! I should have known something was up between the two of you. How long has this been going on?
guard: Since long before the princess came into his life. I couldn't let her take him away from me. Which is why I was so willing to assume this position in the tower. It gave the prince and I a means of secrecy. A location where we could do what lovers do and never be discovered.

Project Manager: th the shape you got trendy I do not want to big box with lots of things you do not want a tiny sort of little thing either because then you have got the repetitive strain injury no matter how many how much you try and make it simple
Marketing: And we do not w I mean so many remote controls look absolutely identical these long brown things with the same coloured buttons all crammed in on the s the surface We definitely an ob an obvious thing a very simple thing is to get away from these brown rectangles we do not want that
Project Manager: so we have got a flipscreen
User Interface: What I was thinking of a design which Nokia h came up with almost six or seven years back Basically we have a flat one it it looks like a box like a chocolate That is very strenuous because your thumb is slightly up so they came up with something like this curled up so here and you do not have to you do not bend your thumb too much so it is like you can say a banana shape kind of thing curled up like a boat G so what happens is you do not have to press your thumb too down like So it is already curled up so your thumb does not
Project Manager: Because it is kind of moulded to your hand anyway
User Interface: y so we can have a s like you know moulded according to your the way you h hold of it is kind of semicircular in the bottom something like that I would not say exactly semicircular but smooth
Project Manager: Can you look into the company logo ? things that are associated with the company in view to trying to incorporate that into the design of the product I mean for example if it was a C or something like that you could have it in a vague C shape that opens up kind of like a she will or something something along those lines to be able to incorporate it quite obviously into the design while also making it quite different from anything else that is there
User Interface: We could look in at that but Mm What we were talking is to make it more rather than like seashells
Marketing: I mean look at the mobile
User Interface: logo could become as you could put a logo in the corner of the model rather than you know trying to make it like a sea she will or whatever you were ta telling like
Project Manager: Well we need to think about how it is going to look different
Marketing: I think that is that sounds a really attractive idea
User Interface: A sea she will ?
Marketing: I have not come across anything like that before if it kind of and that opens out into your fliptop Then it is nice t to h you can make it lightweight plastic nice to hold in the palm of the hand and just because you are having to actually insert in between the two covers that is going to take care of some of the repetitive strain injury trying p prevent a lot of that I would think I think it is a really nice idea
User Interface: we could look in at that
Marketing: and plus you can get you know even though we are using plastic you can still I mean think of the designs you can get in plastic we can do a nice conch she will or scallop she will exterior
Project Manager: Or you could do different like you get with mobile phones different fascias You could have different kind of casings So you could have like psychedelic ones for younger people and sleek ones and
Marketing: Mmhmm Less chance of it being lost too it is not like a chocolate brown lozenge that is going to go down the sofa and people might want to put it on their mantelpiece or whatever as a ki if it looks attractive enough as a kind of ornament they do not not going to lose it so much either It is easier to bit nice to handle
User Interface: maybe we could come at some say five six des designs and then choose which are whichever appeals the most like that could be the most common design But we can like think of five six designs
Project Manager: Right I think we have to round it up | Overall, the model style was expected to be trendy and appealing. Marketing and Project Manager agreed on User Interface's design of a flip-screen. Marketing also hoped that the remote control would be slightly curved.

#Person2#: When I got my first job back in nineteen eighty two and started traveling, I had no other choice but to eat out.

Since I had all the facts about the restaurants, I had been too. I started to do that.

Grad F: Right Well I was I think one of the perplexing problems is for a while I was thinking that I had to come up with a complete set of intermediate features in intermediate categories to to classify right away But what I m thinking now is I would start with with a reasonable set Something something like like re regular phonetic features just to just to start off that way And do some phone recognition build a system that classifies these these feat these intermediate categories using multi band techniques Combine them and do phon phoneme recognition Look at then I would look at the errors produced in the phoneme recognition and say OK well I could probably reduce the errors if I included this extra feature or this extra intermediate category That would that would reduce certain confusions over other confusions And then and then reiterate build the intermediate classifiers do phoneme recognition Look at the errors And then postulate new or remove intermediate categories And then do it again
PhD A: So you are going to use TIMIT ?
Grad F: for that for that part of the the process I would use TIMIT And then after after doing TIMIT Right ? that s that s that s just the ph the phone recognition task I wanted to take a look at things that I could model within word So I would mov I would then shift the focus to something like Schw Switchboard where I would I would be able to to model intermediate categories that span across phonemes not just within the phonemes themselves and then do the same process there on on a large vocabulary task like Switchboard and for that for that part I would I would use the SRI recognizer since it s already set up for for Switchboard And I would run some some sort of tandem style processing with my intermediate classifiers | Grad F informed the team that he was building a system that classified intermediate categories with multi-band techniques. Then, to reduce error for phoneme recognition, the intermediate categories could be added to improve performance. The method could be replicated for large vocabulary tasks like switchboard. |
