Grad B: And so we Reasons being you know it would be a pain to set up all the probabilities for that If we moved onto the next step and did learning of some sort according Bhaskara we would be handicapped I do not know belief nets very well
Grad C: Well usually I mean you know N If you have N features then it s two to the N pause or exponential in N
Grad B: And they would not look pretty So
Grad C: they would all be like pointing to the one node
Grad B: So then our next idea was to add a middle layer right ? So the thinking behind that was we have the features that we ve drawn pause from the communication of some Like the someone s The person at the screen is trying to communicate some abstract idea like `` I m `` the the abstract idea being `` I am a tourist I want to go pause to this place `` Right ? So we are going to set up features along the lines of where they want to go and pause what they ve said previously and whatnot And then we have pause the means that they should use Right ? but the middle thing we were thinking along the lines of maybe trying to figure out like the concept of whether they are a tourist pause or pause whether they are running an errand or something like that along those lines Or Yes we could things we could not extract the from the data the hidden variables Yes good So then the hidden variables hair variables we came up with were whether someone was on a tour running an errand or whether they were in a hurry because we were thinking if they were in a hurry there would be less likely to like or th
Grad C: right ? Because pause if you want to view things you would not be in a hurry
Grad B: Or they might be more likely to be using the place that they want to go to as a like a pause navigational point to go to another place Whether the destination was their final destination whether the destination was closed Those are all And then `` Let s look at the belief net `` comment OK So that means that I should switch to the pause other program right now it s still kind of pause in a toy pause version of it because we did not know the probabilities of pause or Well I will talk about it when I get the picture up | It is necessary for the belief-net to have at least one layer of nodes between the features and the final output.

Professor B: So this is a particular human This is this i this is Stephane
PhD D: So that s that s that s the the flaw of the experiment This is just i j comment it s just one subject but but still what happens is is that the digit error rate on this is around one percent while our system is currently at seven percent but what happens also is that if I listen to the nonvocalsound a re synthesized version of the speech and pause I re synthesized this using a white noise that s filtered by a LPC filter well you can argue that that this is not speech so the ear is not trained to recognize this But s actually it sound like pause whispering so we are

assassin: Certainly sir! Which limb/organ would you like him to lose? It can be gift wrapped and delivered to you for only twelve copper more.
the king: Blast! Stop it with your infantile add-ons. I will not pay a piece more! Just maim whatever bit you like, and leave the blasted note! I am only agreeing to such a deal because of its cheapness, and because his dear mother would probably be less cross with me if he was only made lame rather than made... well... dead, of course.
assassin: Then it is arranger Sir King! Two gold pieces, and it will be done you command, or my name is not Discount Assassination Tim!

knight: I was wondering if I could have a new sword crafted?
blacksmith: It would be an honor to forge a sword for a knight of your renown.
knight: Thank you. How long on average do swords take to create?
blacksmith: For you I would put a rush on the order. I could have it ready for you in a week.
knight: I really appreciate it. I'm having to go into battle in a couple weeks so having it before then would be everything.
blacksmith: I understand, sir. I will craft you a sword that will serve you well.
knight: I want one that hasn't been quite done before. A blade that is sharp, but precise. Delicate ridges on the end for more impact.
blacksmith: I could do that, sir!
knight: You truly are a great blacksmith

Professor B: OK So today we are looking at a number of things we are trying and fortunately for listeners to this we lost some of it s visual but got tables in front of us what is what does combo mean ?
PhD C: So combo is a system where we have these features that go through a network and then this same string of features but low pass filtered with the low pass filter used in the MESSAGE features And so these low pass filtered goes through M eh another MLP and then the linear output of these two MLP s are combined just by adding the values and then there is this KLT the output is used as features as well
Professor B: so let me try to restate this and see if I have it right There is there is the features there s the OGI features and then those features go through a contextual l l let s take this bottom arr one pointed to by the bottom arrow those features go through a contextualized KLT Then these features also get low pass filtered
PhD C: so I could perhaps draw this on the blackboard So we have these features from OGI that goes through the three paths The first is a KLT using several frames of the features The second path is MLP also using nine frames several frames of features The third path is this low pass filter Adding the outputs just like in the second propose the the proposal from for the first evaluation And then the KLT and then the two together again
Professor B: No the KLT And those two together That s it OK so that s that s this bottom one And so and then the the the one at the top and I presume these things that are in yellow are in yellow because overall they are the best ? Oh let s focus on them then so what s the block diagram for the one above it ?
PhD C: For the f the f first yellow line you mean ? so it s basically s the same except that we do not have this low pass filtering so we have only two streams Well There s there s no low low pass processing used as additional feature stream
Professor B: Do you e they mentioned made some when I was on the phone with Sunil they they mentioned some weighting scheme that was used to evaluate all of these numbers
PhD C: actually the way things seems to well it s forty percent for TI digit sixty for all the SpeechDat Cars well all these languages Ehm the well match is forty medium thirty five and high mismatch twenty five
Professor B: and we do not have the TI digits part yet ?
PhD C: But Generally what you observe with TI digits is that the result are very close whatever the the system
Professor B: OK And so have you put all these numbers together into a single number representing that ? OK so that should be pretty easy to do and that would be good then we could compare the two and say what was better and how does this compare to the numbers oh so OGI two is just the top top row ?
PhD C: So to actually OGI two is the the baseline with the OGI features but this is not exactly the result that they have because they ve they are still made some changes in the features and well but actually our results are better than their results I do not know by how much because they did not send us the new results
Professor B: OK so the one one place where it looks like we are messing things up a bit is in the highly mismatched Italian
PhD C: there is something funny happening here because But there are thirty six and then sometimes we are we are we are around forty two and
Professor B: so one of the ideas that you had mentioned last time was having a a second silence detection
PhD C: So there are some results here so the third and the fifth line of the table
Professor B: So filt is what that is ?
PhD C: so it seems f for the the well match and mismatched condition it s it brings something but actually apparently there are there s no room left for any silence detector at the server side because of the delay well
Professor B: Oh we can not do it Oh OK
PhD D: For that for that we
Professor B: Too bad Good idea but can not do it
PhD C: Except I do not know because they I think they are still working well t two days ago they were still working on this trying to reduce the delay of the silence detector so but if we had time perhaps we could try to find some kind of compromise between the delay that s on the handset and on the server side Perhaps try to reduce the delay on the handset and but well For the moment they have this large delay on the the feature computation and so we do not
Professor B: OK So Alright so for now at least that s not there you have some results with low pass filter cepstrum does not have a huge effect but it but it looks like it you know maybe could help in a couple places and and let s see What else did we have in there ? I guess it makes a l at this point this is I I guess I should probably look at these others a little bit And you you yellowed these out but Oh I see that that one you can not use because of the delay Those look pretty good let s see that one Well even the just the the second row does not look that bad right ? That s just ? And and that looks like an interesting one too
PhD C: Actually the the second line is pretty much like the first line in yellow except that we do not have this KLT on the first on the left part of the diagram We just have the features as they are
Professor B: so when we do this weighted measure we should compare the two cuz it might even come out better And it s it s it s a little slightly simpler So so there s so I I would put that one also as a as a maybe and it and it s actually does does significantly better on the highly mismatched Italian so s and little worse on the mis on the MM case but Well it s worse than a few things so let s see how that c that c c see how that comes out on their their measure and are are we running this for TI digits or Now is TI di is is that part of the result that they get for the development th the results that they are supposed to get at the end of end of the month the TI digits are there also ? Oh OK OK And see what else there is here Oh I see the one I was looking down here at the the o the row below the lower yellowed one that s that s with the reduced KLT size reduced dimensionality | The team used OGI features that then passed through a contextualized KLT, an MLP, and a low-pass filter. The highly mismatched Italian part was still not working well. The team tried using silence detection to improve performance, but the results were not too promising. |

#Person1#: Oh, my God! I've been cheated!
#Person2#: What? What did you buy?
#Person1#: It's a brick! I can't believe how stupid I was. Damn it!
#Person2#: What is it? Why did you buy a brick?
#Person1#: There was a guy on the sidewalk. He had three new boxes, Panasonic video camera boxes. He said he had to get rid of them quick.
#Person2#: And?
#Person1#: So he said he'd sell me one for twenty dollars. A four-hundred-dollar camera for twenty bucks.
#Person2#: And it's a brick?
#Person1#: Yes.
#Person2#: I can't believe how stupid you are. Why didn't you open the box?
#Person1#: I wanted to. But he said, no, the box is still in its plastic wrap from the store. If it's opened, other people won't believe it's new.
#Person2#: So he had the boxes wrapped in plastic.
#Person1#: Yes, it was the kind of perfect plastic wrap that comes with new products. Look, it even had a bar-code price sticker on it! It looked brand new.
#Person2#: But why would a guy be selling new video cameras for twenty dollars?
#Person1#: He said he had to get rid of them. They were stolen.
#Person2#: Aha! Now I understand. You were trying to buy stolen goods on the sidewalk. So, what I think is, you deserve to get cheated!
#Person1#: C'mon, don't blame me! I thought it was a new camera. We could use it. We were even thinking about buying a camera. I don't understand how he could have such a perfect-looking box.
#Person2#: That's no problem. He just has a friend who works in a shop that can do plastic wrap. That's easy. And probably it's the same shop he got the boxes from. Maybe his friend works in an electronics store. They sell video cameras there. Probably they had a couple video camera boxes lying around. So they get the idea of wrapping bricks to sell to fools like you. Twenty dollars a brick. That's a good profit if they can sell enough bricks.
#Person1#: You're right, Sarah. I was a fool. I can't believe it. How could I fall for such a trick? | #Person1# was trying to buy a stolen brand-new camera at a very low price on the sidewalk. Then #Person1# finds out what he bought is actually a brick. The seller didn't allow #Person1# to open the box to keep it brand-new.

#Person1#: We're having a department meeting at 10 o'clock, ok?

#Person2#: Thanks. I need to make a few photocopies.
#Person1#: The photocopier is near my office. Come on, I'll show you where it is.
#Person2#: Do you enjoy working in this office?
#Person1#: Yes, I do. Everyone's really friendly. Sometimes, I wish I worked outdoors more, especially during the summer.

#Person1#: Um, ninety-five dollars?
#Person2#: Yes, that ' s the price they were advertising it at. I was hoping it might go on sale soon. Why, how much did you pay for it?
#Person1#: I bought it for one hundred and forty-five dollars at Helen ' s Boutique. I didn ' t know I could get it cheaper somewhere else.
#Person2#: Of course! Everything at Helen ' s is overpriced, and they sell things that you can find at almost every other clothing store! Why didn ' t you shop around?

Ruby: And how many narrators does one book need?
Jax: and why is the narrator narrating the narrator?
Ruby: I DON'T KNOW but it's the most irritating narrative structure I've ever read.
Jax: and wtf is up with catherine always locking herself in her room and making herself ill when she doesn't get her way? kids are mre mature than that. i am more mature than that
Ruby: It really pisses me off that Heathcliff abuses Isabella, but even in this day and age we're supposed to believe he's a Byronic hero, like, okay, sure, let's side-sweep the abuse because he's tragic or whatever.
