PhD E: But what would be interesting to see also is what what perhaps it s not related the amount of data but the recording conditions I do not know Because it s probably not a problem of noise because our features are supposed to be robust to noise It s not a problem of channel because there is normalization with respect to the channel So
Professor A: I I I m sorry What what is the problem that you are trying to explain ?
PhD E: The the fact that the result with the tandem and Aurora system are so much worse
Professor A: That the Oh So much worse ? Oh I but I m I m almost certain that it it I mean that it has to do with the amount of training data It it s it s orders of magnitude off
PhD E: but but we train only on digits and it s it s a digit task so Well
Professor A: But but having a huge If if you look at what commercial places do they use a huge amount of data This is a modest amount of data So I mean ordinarily you would say `` well given that you have enough occurrences of the digits you can just train with digits rather than with you know `` But the thing is if you have a huge in other words do word models But if you have a huge amount of data then you are going to have many occurrences of similar allophones And that s just a huge amount of training for it So it s I I think it has to be that because as you say this is you know this is near microphone it s really pretty clean data Now some of it could be the fact that let s see in the in these multi train things did we include noisy data in the training ? I mean that could be hurting us actually for the clean case
PhD E: Well actually we see that the clean train for the Aurora proposals are are better than the multi train
Professor A: Cuz this is clean data and so that s not too surprising
PhD E: Well o I guess what I meant is that well let s say if we if we add enough data to train on the on the Meeting Recorder digits I guess we could have better results than this | PhD E speculated that the recording problem probably does not have to do with noise. The difference in result with the tandem and Aurora system was too big. He suggested they could learn more by adding more data from Meeting Recorder digits. |

Sian Gwenllian AM: Yes no problem I was talking about the Diamond and Reid reviews at the beginning of my question and the fact that they had recommended that QR funding should be maintained in real terms But of course the sum has not actually increased over a period of nine years
Dr David Blaney: The reason the sum has not increased is because we have not had enough money to be able to increase it and still meet the obligations we have to other bits of the HE system We would dearly love to increase it Both Ian Diamond and Graeme Reid were very clear about the importance of being able to invest in our QR research funding for a number of reasons The capacity of the sector to be able to respond to funding opportunities elsewhere in the UK and across the rest of the world is itself determined by the size and the strength of the research base which is sustained by QR funding If they go for UKbased competitive research funding that is typically constructed on the absolute assumption that QR will be part of that mix So they tend to fund to 80 per cent of the actual cost of the research with the expectation that QR will plug the And we know that although the Welsh research base is extraordinarily productive and really is punching above its weight in many ways—and I mentioned earlier the impact of the research base in the last research excellence framework—we know that actually it could do so much more if it just had more scale So we fully endorse the reports from both Ian Diamond and Graeme Reid that QR is important and it is important also to be able to allow institutions to invest in research areas that emerge over time It is almost impossible for a body like us far less the Government to know where these emerging strengths are going to come from and QR provides the flexibility for institutions which is absolutely fundamental to keeping the research base dynamic | Sian Gwenllian AM pointed out that it was recommended that QR funding should be maintained in real terms, but the sum had not actually increased over a period of nine years. Dr David Blaney explained the reason as there was not enough money to be able to increase it and still meet the obligations to other bits of the HE system. Although it was very clear about the importance of investing in QR research funding but the current capacity would not allow this ambition. However, it would be regarded as a fundamental approach. |

person: Everything is a guarded secret! You must feel very proud to carry on a tradition of keeping this altar safe and protected!
gaurd: I am honored to serve and protect. See the jewels on the altar? They were brought by the late King of Gijiai over 3000 moons ago. He brought them as an offering for his crimes against his people.
person: Crimes? Were they very bad? He thought he owed something to the royal family to bring them to the altar? How bad were his crimes.
gaurd: The Royal Family acts as a bridge between the Most High, and the people of the land, including kings and lords. The late King of Gijiai claimed to be higher than the Most High, and denied his people to come pray at the altar. The Most High came to him in a vision and gave him 8 days to pay for crimes.

Mr. John Williamson (New Brunswick Southwest, CPC): Thank you Mr Chair I will say that this is no substitute for Parliament but I appreciate the opportunity New Brunswick families and businesses are rapidly making adjustments to manage and live with the coronavirus pandemic Businesses here are opening and services are being offered Families are preparing for summer and even planning ahead for a new school year in September We have a lot of work ahead of us One notable absence is Service Canada When does the government plan on opening its service counters to assist Canadians again ?
Hon. Ahmed Hussen (Minister of Families, Children and Social Development): Mr Chair our government is committed to ensuring that Canadians continue to have access to the benefits that they rely on through Service Canada We have redeployed over 3000 additional staff to ensure that Canadians continue to have access to their benefits We have established a 1500agent call centre to make sure that people can get access to the phone lines to get the help they need
Mr. John Williamson: Service Canada is about more than providing COVID19 information and benefits Provincial governments are working hard to adjust to Canadas new normal by opening up businesses and frontline government services When will we see Service Canada play its role and open its service counters in our communities ?
Hon. Ahmed Hussen: Mr Chair we are currently working with our worldclass public health experts to determine how best to reopen the Service Canada network for the public Make no mistake : Our Service Canada employees have gone above and beyond to ensure that Canadians continue to have access to the services that they rely on and the benefits that they need
Mr. John Williamson: Please do not hide behind health experts when the Prime Minister is appearing in the middle of large protests yet is afraid to bring back the Parliament of Canada to do its business In fact the New Brunswick legislature is open for regular business Bills are being studied opposition input is being heard and MLAs are voting on legislation not rubberstamping government bills By comparison our Parliament is stuck in pretending it can not function like other lawmaking assemblies Canadians are in the dark about our countrys finances When will the government table an economic update so taxpayers understand what was spent what is owed by our kids and grandchildren and what the governments fiscal footing looks like ?
Hon. Pablo Rodriguez: Mr Chair nobodys hiding Nobodys doing anything like that The only reason my colleague is able to ask a question and I am able to answer his question is that he is right there on the screen We have this hybrid format that cares for MPs across the country not only the ones sitting in the House
Mr. John Williamson: This is no substitute for Parliament I will ask my question again When will the government table an economic update so that taxpayers understand what was spent what is owed by our kids and grandchildren and what the governments fiscal footing looks like in todays environment ?
Hon. Mona Fortier: Mr Chair I thank my honourable colleague for his question Canadas economy is still in a period of extraordinary uncertainty due to COVID19 We have been open and transparent about the measures we have been providing to support families businesses and workers Even our health care
The Chair: We will go back to Mr Williamson
Mr. John Williamson: Except you have not The Auditor General is underfunded We have no idea about the total of government spending Again I will ask when the government will table an economic update so that we can have an understanding of what the governments fiscal footing looks like
Hon. Mona Fortier: Mr Chair we have included biweekly reports to Parliament on the full cost and status of our economic response plan measures since the beginning I have said and I will continue to say that when it is possible to provide a clear economic projection we will provide an update
Mr. John Williamson: What is the full cost to date of the governments COVID19 relief measures as the minister just claimed the government has provided to Parliament ?
Hon. Mona Fortier: Mr Chair we have provided support for workers and 25 million Canadians have been helped through the Canadian wage subsidy We have provided businesses with some loans and 669000 businesses have applied for these loans Even for the CERB we have over eight million Canadians who have applied | Since there was a lot of absence in public service during the pandemic outbreak, John Williamson thought the Service Canada should be to blame for their irresponsibility. Mona Fortier justified themselves by illustrating that the government was always supporting the families, the industries, and the workers by offering support funds. However, what the public would like to see was complete and exact statistics of the financial support from the government, but not always claiming that "they were doing hard". |
