Professor C: I will I will wait OK
Grad F: but I think that something like that is probably going to be more more what we have to do OK that was one comment And you had another one ?
Grad A: well the once you know what the focus is the everything else is background How about `` topic comment `` that s the other side of information
Grad F: so that was the other thing And so I did not realize it before It s like `` oh ! `` It was an epiphany that it you know topic and focus are a contrast set So topic is Topic focused seems to me like background profile OK or a landmark trajector or some something like that There s there s definitely that kind of thing going on Now I do not know whether I n I do not have as many great examples of like topic indicating constructions on like focus right ? topic it seems kind of you know I think that might be an ongoing kind of thing
Grad E: Japanese has this though You know that s what `` wa `` is just to mark which thing is the topic It does not always have to be the subject
Grad F: Mm Right So again information structure has a topic slot And you know I stuck it in thinking that we might use it I think I stuck it in and one thing that I did not do consistently is when we get there is like indicate what kind of thing fits into every role I think I have an idea of what it should be but th you know so far we ve been getting away with like either a type constraint or you know whatever I forg it will be a frame You know it will be it will be another predication or it will be I do not know some value from from some something some variable and scope or something like that or a slot chain based on a variable and scope OK so well that s should we flip over to the other side officially then ? I keep like pointing forward to it Now we will go back to s OK so this does not include something which mi mi may have some effect on on it which is the discourse situation context record right ? So I did not I I meant just like draw a line and like you know you also have some tracking of what was going on And sort of this is a big scale comment before I you know look into the details of this But for instance you could imagine instead of having I I changed the name of it used to be `` entities `` So you see it s `` scenario `` `` referent `` and `` discourse segment `` And `` scenario `` is essentially what kind of what s the basic predication what event happened And actually it s just a list of various slots from which you would draw draw in order to paint your picture a bunch of frames bi and bindings right ? and obviously there are other ones that are not included here general cultural frames and general like other action f | The semantic specification, on the other hand, is split into three levels: "scenario" is a list of schemas and bindings between them, which describes the current event in terms of Source-Path-Goal, Container, etc.; "referent" is about the entities in the discourse and includes grammatical information and pointers to the ontology; "discourse segment" comprises utterance-specific things. |

Grad A: Food and drink and so forth So I mean But i you know i we can Something Somebody can have discussed the admission fee and you the answer pause is s if we you know still based on that result is never going to enter that building You know ? Because it s just too expensive
Grad B: Oh I think I see So the discourse refers to `` admission fee `` but it just turns out that they change their mind in the middle of the discourse
Grad D: you have to have some notion of not just I mean there s a there s change across several turns of discourse so I do not know how if any of this was discussed but how i if it all this is going to interact with whatever general other other discourse processing that might be happen
Grad B: What sort of discourse pause processing is are the How much is built into SmartKom and
Grad A: It works like this The I mean The first thing we get is that pause already the intention is sort of t They tried to figure out the intention right ? simply by parsing it And this m will not differentiate between all modes ? but at least it will tell us `` OK here we have something that somebody that wants to go someplace now it s up for us to figure out what kind of going there is is pause is happening and if the discourse takes a couple of turns before everything all the information is needed what happens is you know the parser parses it and then it s handed on to the discourse history which is o one of the most elaborate elaborate modules It s it s actually the the whole memory of the entire system that knows what wh who said what which was what was presented It helps an an anaphora resolution and it and it fills in all the structures that are omitted so pause because you say `` OK pause how can I get to the castle ? `` Oh how how much is it ? `` and `` I would like to g let s do it `` and so forth So even without an a ana pause anaphora somebody has to make sure that information we had earlier on is still here Because not every module keeps a memory of everything that happened so whenever the person is not actually rejecting what happened before so as in `` No I really do not want to see that movie I would rather stay home and watch TV `` What movie was selected in what cinema in what town is is going to be sort of added into the disc into the representations every di at each dialogue step by the discourse model discourse pause model that s what it s called and it does some help in the anaphora resolution and it also helps in coordinating the gesture screen issues So a person pointing to something on the screen you know the discourse model actually stores what was presented at what location on the s on the screen so it s a it s a rather huge huge thing but comment pause we can pause sort of It has a very clear interface We can query it whether admission fees were discussed in the last turn and and the turn before that or you know how pause deep we want to search which is a question How deep do we want to sear you know ? but we should pause try to keep in mind that you know we are doing this sort of for research so we we should find a limit that s reasonable and not go you know all the way back to Adam and Eve You know did that person ever discuss admissions fee fees in his entire life ? And the dialogues are pretty pretty you know concise and Anyway
Grad D: So one thing that might be helpful which is implicit in the pause use of `` admission fee discussion `` as a cue for entry pause is thinking about the plans that various people might have Like all the different sort of general schemas that they might be following OK This person is finding out information about this thing in order to go pause in as a tourist or finding out how to get to this place pause in order to do business because then pause anything that s a cue for one of the steps pause would be slight evidence for that overall plan I do not know They are in in non in sort of more traditional AI kinds of plan recognition things you sort of have pause you know some idea at each turn of agent doing something `` OK wha what plans is this a consistent with ? `` and then get s some more information and then you see pause `` here s a sequence that this sort of roughly fits into `` It it might be useful here too I I do not know how you know you would have to pause figure out what knowl what knowledge representation would work for that
Grad A: I mean the you you It s in the these these these plan schemas I mean there are some some of them are extremely elaborate you know `` What do you need need to buy a ticket ? `` You know ? and it it s fifty steps huh ? just for buying a ticket pause at a ticket counter you know and and maybe that s helpful to look at it to look at those It s amazing what human beings can do W when we talked we had the example you know of you being a s a person on a ticket counter working at railway station and somebody r runs up to you with a suitcase in his hands says New York and you say Track seven huh ? And it s because you know that that person actually is following you know You execute a whole plan of going through a hundred and fifty steps you know without any information other than `` New York `` huh ? inferring everything from the context So works even though there is probably no train from here to New York right ?
Grad B: You would probably have to transfer in Chicago
Grad A: Mm But it s possible no you probably have to transfer also somewhere else Right ? Is that t San Francisco Chicago ?
Grad B: One time I saw a report on trains and I think there is a l I do not know if I thought there was a line that went from somewhere maybe it was Sacramento to Chicago but there was like a California to Chicago line of some sort I could be wrong though It was a while ago
Grad D: The Transcontinental Railroad does not that ring a bell ?
Grad B: but I do not know if it s still
Grad D: I think it has to exist somewhere | The next stage is to refine the set of feature nodes and identify possible clusters. Although, in theory, traditional AI plan recognition techniques could also be helpful for inferring intentions, the schemas involved are too elaborate for this task. |

Mrs. Tracy Gray: Mr Chair I just read another email from a small business owner this morning who has been let down by the government He chose to pay off debts instead of paying himself a wage therefore he is ineligible for CEBA for that loan Owneroperators have been eliminated from participating in government programs because they did not put themselves on the payroll This shows a true lack of understanding of small businesses and especially of owneroperators Will the government commit to fixing this issue ?
Hon. Navdeep Bains: Thank you very much Again I want to thank the honourable member for her question We have focused particularly on small businesses to make sure they have the appropriate support they need With regard to the program that she highlighted we have shown flexibility in the eligibility criteria by decreasing the payroll threshold for individual companies that want to apply for this loan to 20000 versus 50000 and the upper limit has gone to 15 million versus 1 million We will continue to bring forward the changes necessary to have more businesses
Mrs. Tracy Gray: This government has left Canadian craft breweries out to dry like the hops in their beer On April 24 the Canadian Craft Brewers Association released a report on the effects of COVID19 on the Canadian craft brewing industry The report states that 38 of craft brewers did not qualify for the Canadian emergency wage subsidy in March and 53 were either not sure or predicted that they would not qualify in April Many a brew pub like BNA in my riding due to higher payrolls are also not eligible for the CEBA loan They have been left out and let down Five per cent of these breweries have already closed permanently and others are on the verge of doing so A portion have stepped up and are making PPE Will this government take the initiative to support this industry by amending program requirements ?
Hon. Navdeep Bains: When it comes to the Canada emergency wage subsidy we have demonstrated flexibility and nimbleness The program requirement changed in terms of revenue threshold We originally had 30 for the month of March We changed that to 15 The eligibility criteria to compare to the first two months of this year now also compare to the previous year as well We are going to continue to make changes to make sure more businesses can access this program
The Chair: Ms Gray you have 33 seconds
Mrs. Tracy Gray: In my constituency Okanagan fruit production is a huge industry and many apple orchardists have brought concerns to me regarding high costs apples from last season selling below cost the CUSMA agreement not helping the industy and lowpriced Washington apples flooding our market COVID19 has exacerbated their dire financial situation The BECAUSE Fruit Growers Association has called the government announcements of measures for agriculture underwhelming I questioned Minister Bibeau in the House a couple of months ago and at the time she did not have an answer What is the plan to help our orchardists ?
Hon. Marie-Claude Bibeau (ComptonStanstead, Lib.): Thank you MrChair Since this crisis began we have been helping entrepreneurs in all sectors We began with measures to assist small medium and large companies and we are now going progressively sector by sector Last week we announced additional funding for agriculture
The Chair: We will now go on to Mr Barlow
Mr. John Barlow (Foothills, CPC): Mr Chair in my riding of Foothills we have established a Foothills business recovery task force We surveyed hundreds of small business owners about the effectiveness of the emergency programs put forward by the government The results of that survey were quite alarming More than half of the respondents have not qualified for any of the programs and the vast majority of them have said their businesses will not last more than another month Will the government expand the eligibility for some of these programs to include sole proprietorships or is the government still looking at refunding the GST paid by some of the businesses over the last year ? | Bains said that the government has been accommodating of small businesses in the past and it will continue to do so. The government has increased the threshold for individual companies and looks forward to making further adjustments. Bains emphasized that 590,000 loans have already been distributed through the CEBA program, highlighting its efficacy. |

#Person2#: Why this happens to me when I am on the plane? I feel bad.
#Person1#: Don't worry, sir. It's just because of the lower pressure.
#Person2#: What should I do about it?
#Person1#: You may feel much better if you chew some gum or peanuts.

#Person1#: Hi! What are you watching?
#Person2#: It's a program about islam. It's very interesting.

Since #Person2# doesn't have an account with #Person1#, #Person1# suggests #Person2# use T/T which is quick and secure. |
#Person1#: Well, the main activities in the region were historically steel and paper processing, I think.
#Person2#: Yes, but I'm not quite sure about the status of those industries now. Could you tell us something about that?
#Person1#: Yes, of course. In fact, they are less significant, but steel-related manufacturing still accounts for 44% of industrial activity. So it's still very important. In fact, 80% of Spain's machine tools are from the Basque Country. As for paper processing, there's still a little. But it's no longer what it once was in the region. So, is that clear?
#Person2#: Yes, thanks.
#Person1#: Now, to get back to what I was saying, there's a lot of unemployment as wellas geographical problems in the region.
#Person2#: Sorry, Victoria. What do you mean by geographical problems?
#Person1#: Well, what I mean is the area is very hilly, mountainous in parts. So there used to be transport problems, now though there are new train links and betterroads, but it may be that some smaller towns inland remain not very well connected, is that OK? Does that make sense? When we talk about specific location suggestions for the factory, we'll see this in more detail, so we'll come back to this question, OK?
#Person2#: OK, right.
#Person1#: So I was about to say something about the work force in the region and thelevel of training and education. In general, it's very good and improving. | #Person2# interrupts Victoria and asks about the status of steel and paper processing and geographical problems. Victoria explains them to #Person2# and then goes on. |
