Grad D: OK So alright So this is step two So the next possibility is that we ve given just a single weight to each expert right whereas it might be the case that in certain situations one of the experts is more reliable and in certain situations the other expert is more reliable So the way this is handled is by what s called a mixture of experts so what you can have is you augment these diagrams like this so you have a new thing called `` H `` OK ? This is a hidden variable And what this is is it gets its input from X one X two X three and X four and what it does is it decides which of the experts is to be trusted in this particular situation Right ? And then these guys all come here OK So this is sightly more complicated So what s going on is that this H node looks at these four values of those guys and it decides in given these values which of these is not likely to be more reliable or most reliable So H produces some you know it produces a number either one two three or four in our situation right ? Now this guy he looks at the value of H say it s two and then he just selects the thing That s all there is to say I guess about it Right so you can have a mixture that
Grad A: So so the function of the thing that comes out of H is very different from the function of the other inputs It s driving how the other four are interpreted OK
Grad C: So H passes a vector on to the next node ? It could ? A vector of the weights as the se
Grad A: Well a vector with three zero s and one one right ?
Grad C: Oh it s basically to tell the bottom node which one of the situations that it s in or which one of the weighting systems
Grad D: Right so I mean the way you desc
Grad C: W I was just if you wanted to pay attention to more than one you could pass a w a weighting s system though too could not you ? OK
Grad A: Does H have to have another input to tell it alpha beta whatever or is the that s determined by what the experts are saying like the type of situ OK OK OK I mean It it just seems that like without that that outside input that you ve got a situation where you know like if if X one says no you know a low value coming out of X on or i if X one says no then ignore X one you know I mean that seems like that would be weird
Grad D: well could be things like if X two and X three say yes then i ignore X one also
Grad A: right ? Oh OK OK Alright right
Grad C: Oh The situations that H has are they built into the net or OK so they they could either be hand coded or learned or OK Based on training data OK So you specify one of these things for every one of those possi possible situations Oh | Grad D first said that different experts were reliable in different situations and it was necessary to organically combine them to make the network adapt to diverse situations. The network could be divided into several parts and the network would decide which of the experts would be trusted in this particular situation. Grad D then answered other group members' questions about the layout of mixture of expert models and their detailed computation process. |

#Person2#: She says that after several years of use, it's not working properly. When she uses it, it makes a funny noise.
#Person1#: Household appliance don't seem to last for a long time nowadays.

Project Manager: So anyway we could do some i do some work now on on the design for example I mean what do you want do you want but
User Interface: but we like some some curves or
Project Manager: may maybe something like this But though smooth inside So you have the transmitter here for example Let us see that you what would be handy I think that the the buttons should be the channel buttons should be on their own Let us see one two God damn it
User Interface: Oh we get the general ideas yes
Project Manager: Another one here Let us see what I think this should these are always on top of the of the control so they should be here

Marketing: Just a light on it or
User Interface: So we have the basic channels we have got here the power button somewhere over here ?

User Interface: I usually press it on top At least that is what I am accustomed to
Project Manager: like that is going to work
Industrial Designer: I am not sure if it is possible
User Interface: What would you like to ?
Project Manager: I thought maybe we should move the buttons down and put it here for example
Marketing: And you are reading from the t you always read from the top to the the bottom of it
Project Manager: From top to bottom that is true I think the bu the power button should be on top because it is the first thing you do turn it on So power button on top
User Interface: mute button Is that somewhere here ?
Project Manager: Mute Do we hardly I think it should be at the bottom somewhere
User Interface: Is that used often ? The mute button ? Do people use that often ?
Project Manager: Mute Turn the sound off
User Interface: Because I am pretty much accustomed to it right over here at least in general
Project Manager: I do not think it is important but I think it I think it should be you c
User Interface: It is not that important no
Project Manager: you could put it somewhere here
Marketing: Or or with the volume selection
Project Manager: No because it people are accustomed to that
Marketing: Around not not at top at the around the volume selection
Project Manager: it is Can I have that ? That is j
Marketing: I do not know where exactly
Project Manager: Take this out and here see are we going to take triangles anyway ? I am drawing triangles but
User Interface: That is pretty much what people are accustomed to
Project Manager: it is maybe a bigger lesser than thing So anyway I think this is should be the channels and or sh
User Interface: I am accustomed to the channels being on top
Project Manager: this two channel up and down | Buttons design was all about volume, channel, power, and some other instant ideas. The team discussed their sizes, big or small, and places, up, center, or down, and also their arrangements, vertical or horizontal, and reached a conclusion that the power button could be on top. They came up with mute button as well but Project Manager didn't think it was important. |

Postdoc E: So this is where Chuck s overall h architecture comes in where we are going to have a master file of the channelized data there will be scripts that are written to convert it into these t these main two uses and th some scripts will take it down th e into a f a for ta take it to a format that s usable for the recognizer an other scripts will take it to a form that s usable for the for linguistics an and discourse analysis And the implication that that I have is that th the master copy will stay unchanged These will just be things that are generated and e by using scripts When things change then the the script will cham change but the but there will not be stored copies of in different versions of things
PhD G: So I guess I would have one request here which is just maybe to make it more robust th that the tag whatever you would choose for this type of `` NUMS `` comment where it s inside the spontaneous speech is different than the tag that you use for the read speech
PhD B: Right Right That would argue for changing the other ones to be `` digits `` or something
PhD G: that way w if we make a mistake parsing or something we do not see the `` point five `` or or it s not there then we a Just an And actually for things like `` seven eighths `` or people do fractions too I guess you maybe you want one overall tag for sort of that would be similar to that or As long as they are sep as they are different strings that we that will make our p sort of processing more robust Cuz we really will get rid of everything that has the `` NUMS `` string in it
PhD B: I suppose what you could do is just make sure that you get rid of everything that has `` curly brace NUMS curly brace `` I mean that would be the
Postdoc E: Exactly That was that was my motivation And i these can be changed like I said You know I mean as I said I was considering changing it to `` digits `` And it just i you know it s just a matter of deciding on whatever it is and being sure the scripts know
PhD G: It would probably be safer if you are willing to have a separate tag just because then we know for sure And we can also do counts on them without having to do the processing But you are right we could do it this way it it should work
PhD B: and it makes it I guess the thing about
PhD G: but it it s probably not hard for a person to tell the difference because one s in the context of a you know a transcribed word string
Postdoc E: The other thing is you can get really so minute with these things and increase the size of the files and the re and decrease the readability to such an extent by simply something like `` percent `` Now I I could have adopted a similar convention for `` percent `` but somehow percent is not so hard you know ? i It s just when you have these points and you are trying to figure out where the decimal places are And we could always add it later Percent s easy to detect Point however is is a word that has a couple different meanings And you will find both of those in one of these meetings where he s saying `` well the first point I want to make is so and so `` and he goes through four points and also has all these decimals
PhD B: So Liz what does the recognizer do what does the SRI recognizer output for things like that ? `` seven point five `` Does it output the word
PhD G: `` Seven point five ``
PhD B: Right the word `` seven `` ? The number `` seven `` ? The word `` seven `` OK
Professor F: So I would so `` I would like I would like to talk about point five ``
PhD G: And and actually you know the language it s the same point actually the the p you know the word `` to `` and the word y th `` going to `` and `` to go to `` those are two different `` to s `` and so there s no distinction there It s just just the word `` point `` has every word has only one e one version even if even if it s A actually even like the word `` read `` comment and `` read `` Those are two different words They are spelled the same way right ? And they are still going to be transcribed as READ So I I like the idea of having this in there I just I was a little bit worried that the tag for removing the read speech because i What if we have like `` read letters `` or I do not know
Grad D: We might want to just a separate tag that says it s read
PhD G: like `` read something `` like `` read `` basically But other than that I it sounds great
Grad D: OK ? Are we done ?
Postdoc E: Well I wanted to say also regarding the channelized data
Grad D: Oh I guess we are not done
Postdoc E: that Thilo requested that we ge get some segments done by hand to e e s reduce the size of the time bins wh like was Chuc Chuck was mentioning earlier that that if you if you said `` Oh `` and it was in part of a really long s complex overlapping segment that the same start and end times would be held for that one as for the longer utterances
Grad D: We did that for one meeting right so you have that data do not you ?
PhD A: that s the training data
Postdoc E: And he requested that there be similar samples done for five minute stretches c involving a variety of speakers and overlapping secti sections He gave me he did the very nice he he did some shopping through the data and found segments that would be useful And at this point all four of the ones that he specified have been done In addition the I ve I have the transcribers expanding the amount that they are doing actually So right now I know that as of today we got an extra fifteen minutes of that type and I m having them expand the realm on either side of these places where they ve already started But if if you know and I and he s going to give me some more sections that that he thinks would be useful for this purpose | Transcribers will be given channelized data that has been segmented for speech/non-speech boundaries to determine whether such pre-processing facilitates the transcription process. |
Hefin David AM: The decision by the Education Workforce Council not to accredit the University of South Wales with the ability to deliver teacher training—what are your views and concerns about that ?
Kirsty Williams AM: The process is independent of Government and it would not be appropriate for me to comment on that especially as I understand that there is an appeals process that may be being undertaken What I would say is that from the very outset of our ITE reforms we have made it very clear that I expect very high standards in our ITE system but the process is independent of this Government I have confidence in the people who have been appointed by the EWC to undertake that process but it is independent of me and it is not appropriate for me to comment on that further
Hefin David AM: I fully understand that and the need for distance for the EWC but there will be an impact on students and staff Students first of all : are you concerned that the reduction in providers might have an impact on students and those students going through the second year at USW ? Would you have concerns about that issue ?
Kirsty Williams AM: In terms of the overall numbers we will be looking to commission from those institutions that have been accredited the number of training places that our planning tool says that we need So in terms of an overall number of places we will commission from those accredited units Clearly there will be a responsibility upon the University of South Wales to ensure that those students already in the system are able to complete their studies and their course with the appropriate level of support and tuition to enable them to achieve their career aspirations and to graduate from that programme
Hefin David AM: And what about the uncertainty for staff or would you say that is an issue for the university itself ?
Kirsty Williams AM: These are autonomous bodies They have to act accordingly in compliance with any employment law or any statutory responsibilities that they would have as an employer That is not a matter for me that is a matter for the institution that is an autonomous body
Hefin David AM: But I would be surprised if you were not keeping an eye on this given that it has been a key provider Are you aware of when the appeal decision will be known ?
Kirsty Williams AM: My understanding is that the appeals process is ongoing and next month perhaps But as I said this is a process that is independent of Government— | Kirsty Williams thought this process was independent of the Government, and it would not be very appropriate to comment on it. From the very outset of their ITE reforms, they had made it clear that they expected very high standards in the ITE system, but this process was independent of the Government.

Project Manager: Exac Well in fact I I did not know I did not know really what to say here If if you have any ideas of what we can we can say So I do not I do not I do not understand what what they mean by satisfaction and for and for example Should it be more like like a status of of the these meetings in fact well in fact we we use a little bit the white board and the digital pen not that much
User Interface: I do not know I think we had a fair bit of creativity
Project Manager: Oh it is really creative
User Interface: And but I think one thing we m missed out of this whole process was a like a focus group with the actual people we are targeting We needed some of these kind of young trendsetters to come in and play with the banana and you know see if they see if they like it
Project Manager: maybe we should go through an evaluation
User Interface: Because the evaluation for us is is kind of pointless
Project Manager: So maybe you should we should do a kind of evaluation in the streets like asking to young peoples well do you like to have a banana as a remote control
User Interface: Because it it would also be interesting to you to know find out if we have a market in really young children as well to see you know how to how to market this thing Because you know if well I mean maybe you do not want to give all your kids their own remote because they will be changing the channel all the time but you know maybe in some households where there is you know a TV for each kid then you know banana remote control could be fun for them as well Might have to draw a face on it So but I think that is something we need to to work on next time is really finding out more about the target market
Project Manager: Yep Any any new ideas we could we could investigate next time ? Do Not Know oranges ?
Industrial Designer: The cost of the thing can be made more than might be Because I think it is just the optimal what we have done for the cost which we are looking forward to
User Interface: I think there are ways we could maybe simplify the Well just the the the circuit board that we are using inside I am not sure really how complicated our our needs are I mean all we have is two push buttons and two scrollers do we really need an integrated circuit to you know to process that
Marketing: So more general remote control instead of just focusing on on TV The complexity should not be much higher For you said if it good for DVD then I would
User Interface: And also fo you know for mood lighting and and stuff that would be rather cool I think that is actually something that should be in version two is the ability to you know to control things other than the TV and not just electronic equipment but you know the whole environment of the room
Project Manager: Well done I think we we can go Maybe maybe we can hassle the the production department to to make a a real prototype that we can use at home to to evaluate | Project Manager agreed that the group had used fairly on the whiteboard and digital pen during the meeting. They all agreed on much creativity satisfaction during the discussion. User Interface supplemented that they should focus on broader target markets within the European countries. Also, Project Manager suggested that they should use the same evaluation criteria to do a street survey with young people. The group agreed to improve in an integrated circuit board to control things other than TV. |

#Person2#: Well, I was wondering where those people with professional attire come from. Now, I know the answer.
#Person1#: You know, in a sense, a suits and ties are compulsory for male employees even in July, and no jewelry allowed for most of the female employees. Even the reasonable male leaf is returning the rule, isn't that strict?
#Person2#: To some extent, it is. Anyway, whether they like it or not, they do give people a very good impression.

Project Manager: we are beginning to run out of time now so we have got a couple of ideas we can we will have to work fast alright as you can see we have got thirty minutes until the next meeting so we will have to try and decide on some of the basic functionality how the user interface might work that will be a key aspect especially if the idea of some kind of macros facility because you have to program it you have to have a lot of response back or at least some kind And we are going to maybe n try and have to figure out what the user wants yes right Has anybody got anything they would like to add at this stage anything they think that might have been missed so far ?
Industrial Designer: Well when you are talking about gaming and stuff do you think they should have some sort of stick on it rather than buttons ? Like control pads you know of games but or is that a bit ridiculous ?
Project Manager: I I do not see why not almost everybody is probably used to a console by now and all of them incorporate small keypads on them in fact even the mobile phones these days are beginning to use them as well so it is probably an interface that most people are used to and that could allow n easy navigation used as a joystick as well
User Interface: Mmhmm The other key feature that that would be a good idea built into it is t is is to make something you know fairly sort of ergonomic something that just fits fits as comfortably as possible into the hand But of course al al also allows for the possibility of a more sort of slightly unconventional or attractive sha shape for it overall
Project Manager: small stylish and something that is just a little different
User Interface: mmhmm Something sort of sort of sl slightly sort of biomorphic in form which it would need to be to sort of conform to the shape of the hand more efficiently anyway
Project Manager: That is definitely something that we should be able to do quite easily I would I would have hoped so anyway right I would say we finish this one up we get started I will get in I will write up what we have kind of quickly done and I will get that out to everybody ? as far as I am aware we leave the microphones here unless we get told otherwise and just take the laptops with us | When discussing the basic functionality, the team agreed that it was the most important to meet the user requirements. Industrial Designer suggested that the team could consider incorporating a keypad for the better game experience. User Interface went on making a contribution.
