#Person1#: Here are your cold dishes, sir. #Person2#: Thank you. I wonder why it Chinese dinner always starts with cold dishes instead of hot courses. Could you explain that to me? #Person1#: Certainly, sir. It's a custom in our country to serve cold dishes first as they have been prepared before hand. #Person2#: Oh, I see. The chefs in your country are just in the habit of preparing cold dishes first. #Person1#: I'm afraid that's not exactly right, sir. Chinese people usually regard the dinner party as an occasion for a friendly chat. #Person2#: Yes, I quite agree. But what does that have to do with serving cold dishes first? #Person1#: Well, people usually talk more and eat less at the beginning of the dinner. Therefore, if hot courses were served they would get cold very quickly. #Person2#: I see, but the problem is that I'm already full when it comes to the wonderful hot courses. And I often miss the chances to enjoy many Chinese dishes.
#Person1# explains to #Person2# the cold dishes are served first because people usually talk more and eat less at the beginning of the dinner. But #Person2# is full before the hot courses are served.

Marketing: So DVDs and VCRs ? Project Manager: And and and the hard disk recorders furthermore w we need really need to interest y younger customers and then with younger customers I mean people below the age of forty and our our current customers are mainly forty plus that is to that is I mean there is a market but they will grow older older and you will al always need to have the the future with younger people therefore younger people like trendy trendy designs so that is w we should make our our our RC as trendy as possible but it should also be have a reliable image so when it looks too too spacey or too fancy people will think well does it work at all User Interface: it is well you you can follow the ideas how you want to keep the keys you know right now if you take it you have like zero one two three like a keys separately but suppose if you take the the present trend of mobile phones there are like big thick keys you press on the top it takes one number you press on the bottom it takes another number and basically so the space covered so that you do not see two separate keys there actually so it it is like i i it is like Project Manager: Ma Maybe Maybe you can draw it on the on the board Marketing: Mm But I think taking the idea of getting inspiration from mobile phones is interesting especially if we are going after a younger market that is the the the mm the new and the funky things Industrial Designer: Because they are already used to that you know product Marketing: there is lot there is lots of pretty mobile phones not too many pretty remote controls Project Manager: And and they are skilled by using it User Interface: it works Fine So for example you have presently keys like one two three like this actually and four five six like that and you can have keys like this in form like keys like that Project Manager: Mael can you hand me over this ? Marketing: Mmhmm How much longer have we got for the meeting by the way ? Because we have not talked about demographic at all Project Manager: I think fi five min Marketing: and it is a very important issue User Interface: so you you you can have keys like which are which are like so too sorry so we basically do not change the original order of them but then the keys are more spacious they do not look so there there is a very sligh thing so if you press on the top it takes the one it takes the three four sorry four here five and six so the keys can be it looks you know not very much cluttered but it looks nice for you do not have too many keys but you can have a lot of options t if you press on the to Project Manager: Kay I I think now that the ideas clear
First of all, Project Manager launched a discussion about video over-demand, during which User Interface and Industrial Designer mentioned some fancy functions like downloading and streamlining. Then, Project Manager announced that according to the account manager, teletext could be included in the discussion, though its obsolescence incurred doubts over its usability and necessity. After that, Project Manager offered a choice question between television and further recording devices represented by DVDs, VCRs, and hard disk recorders. Finally, to cater for the younger people, User Interface devised big thick keys for RC in imitation of mobile phones, which received positive feedback from other team members.

Sarah: What do you think of it? Victoria: Uhm, quite dreadful Sarah: It is, isn't it? Victoria: I don't know what happened. She said she hired an architect Sarah: An interior designer, yeah, apparently not a very good one Victoria: But seriously, blue and pink? I'm surprised Jack agreed to it, it looks sickening Sarah: Oh my god, it does! Sarah: The living room is not that bad, but the bathroom and the bedroom... Victoria: They sure spent a lot of money on it, but there's definitely no taste in it. The bathroom is definitely the worst, really bad taste Sarah: I think she knows we're texting Victoria: Hm, doubt it Victoria: We're safe ;) I'm really bored and hungry, of course everything's with gluten Sarah: "Of course" ;) Victoria: What? Sarah: Nothing, I'll be really careful when I invite you to dinner to my place :D

Professor A: OK so had some interesting mail from Dan Ellis Actually I think he he redirected it to everybody also so the PDA mikes have a big bunch of energy at at five hertz where this came up was that I was showing off these wave forms that we have on the web and and I just sort of had not noticed this but that the major major component in the wave in the second wave form in that pair of wave forms is actually the air conditioner So So I I have to be more careful about using that as a as a as a good illustration in fact it s not of of the effects of room reverberation It is is not a bad illustration of the effects of room noise on on some mikes but So And then we had this other discussion about whether this affects the dynamic range cuz I know although we start off with thirty two bits you end up with sixteen bits and you know are we getting hurt there ? But Dan is pretty confident that we are not that that quantization error is not is still not a significant factor there So So there was a question of whether we should change things here whether we should change a capacitor on the input box for that or whether we should PhD B: he suggested a smaller capacitor right ? Professor A: Right But then I had some other thing discussions with him and the feeling was once we start monk monkeying with that many other problems could ha happen And additionally we we already have a lot of data that s been collected with that so A simple thing to do is he he he has a I forget if it this was in that mail or in the following mail but he has a a simple filter a digital filter that he suggested We just run over the data before we deal with it The other thing that I do not know the answer to but when people are using Feacalc here whether they are using it with the high pass filter option or not And I do not know if anybody knows But So when we are doing all these things using our software there is if it s if it s based on the RASTA PLP program which does both PLP and RASTA PLP then there is an option there which then comes up through to Feacalc which allows you to do high pass filtering and in general we like to do that because of things like this and it s it s pretty it s not a very severe filter Does not affect speech frequencies even pretty low speech frequencies at all but it s PhD B: What s the pause cut off frequency it used ? Professor A: Oh I do not know I wrote this a while ago PhD B: Is it like twenty ? Professor A: I mean I think there s some effect above twenty but it s it s it s it s mild So I mean it probably there s probably some effect up to a hundred hertz or something but it s it s pretty mild I do not know in the in the STRUT implementation of the stuff is there a high pass filter or a pre pre emphasis or something in the PhD F: I think we use a pre emphasis Professor A: So We we we want to go and check that in i for anything that we are going to use the P D A mike for He says that there s a pretty good roll off in the PZM mikes so we do not need need to worry about them one way or the other but if we do make use of the cheap mikes we want to be sure to do that that filtering before we process it And then again if it s depending on the option that the our our software is being run with it s it s quite possible that s already being taken care of But I also have to pick a different picture to show the effects of reverberation PhD B: Did somebody notice it during your talk ? Professor A: Well Well If they made output they were they were you know they were nice PhD B: Did not say anything ? Professor A: But I mean the thing is it was since I was talking about reverberation and showing this thing that was noise it was not a good match but it certainly was still an indication of the fact that you get noise with distant mikes It s just not a great example because not only is not it reverberation but it s a noise that we definitely know what to do So I mean it does not take deep a new bold new methods to get rid of five hertz noise so But So it was it was a bad example in that way but it s it still is it s the real thing that we did get out of the microphone at distance so it was not it w it w was not wrong it was inappropriate So So but someone noticed it later pointed it out to me and I went `` oh man Why did not I notice that ? `` So So I think we will change our our picture on the web when we are One of the things I was I mean I was trying to think about what what s the best way to show the difference an and I had a couple of thoughts one was that spectrogram that we show is O K but the thing is the eyes and the the brain behind them are so good at picking out patterns from from noise that in first glance you look at them it does not seem like it s that bad because there s many features that are still preserved So one thing to do might be to just take a piece of the spec of the spectrogram where you can see that something looks different an and blow it up and have that be the part that s just to show as well You know i i Some things are going to be hurt Another I was thinking of was taking some spectral slices like like we look at with the recognizer and look at the spectrum or cepstrum that you get out of there and the the the reverberation does make it does change that And so maybe maybe that would be more obvious
The professor noted that a major component in one of the waves was the air conditioner. The team had to be more cognizant about these kind reverberations in the recordings. After a threshold, the reverberations interfered with the recordings. The team thought they could look at spectral slices to further understand the problem.

Professor F: So you you do not w especially in something with repetitive computation where you are going over it multiple times you do do not want to have the the data that you are working on distant from where it s being where the computation s being done if you can help it Now we are getting more disk for the central file server which since it s not a computational server would seem to be a contradiction to what I just said But the idea is that suppose you are working with this big bunch of multi multilingual databases you put them all in the central ser at the cen central file server Then when you are working with something and accessing it many times you copy the piece of it that you are working with over to some place that s close to where the computation is and then do all the work there And then that way you you will not have the the network you will not be clogging the network for yourself and others That s the idea So it s going to take us It may be too late for this p precise crunch we are in now but we are It s going to take us a couple weeks at least to get the the amount of disk we are going to be getting We are actually going to get I think four more thirty six gigabyte drives and put them on another another disk rack We ran out of space on the disk rack that we had so we are getting another disk rack and four more drives to share between primarily between this project and the Meetings Meetings Project But we ve put another I guess there s another eighteen gigabytes that s that s in there now to help us with the immediate crunch But are you saying So I do not know where pause you are Stephane where you are doing your computations If i so you are on an NT machine so you are using some external machine PhD G: it Well to It s Nutmeg and Mustard I think Professor F: Do you know these yet ? PhD G: I do not know what kind Professor F: OK are these are these computational servers or something ? I m I ve been kind of out of it PhD G: I think I think so Professor F: Unfortunately these days my idea of running comput of computa doing computation is running a spread sheet have not been have not been doing much computing personally so so those are computational servers So I guess the other question is what disk there i space there is there on the computational servers PhD A: Right I m not sure what s available on is it you said Nutmeg and what was the other one ? Professor F: Well you are the you are the disk czar now
The professor expressed that copying the information between drives clogged the network and slowed down their task. Though, the team was getting four more 36 GB drives. The professor also wanted to get more information on space available on computational servers.
