The Chair: We will now go to Ms Kwan
Ms. Jenny Kwan (Vancouver East, NDP): Thank you Mr Chair Instead of providing a universal direct payment for all the government has decided to implement a complicated program that leaves many people behind A single parent with four schoolage children lost her spousal and child support due to COVID19 She pays taxes on her spousal income but she is not eligible for CERB The Minister of Employment said that she is looking into this It has been weeks and still no action Will the Prime Minister step in and fix this so that the single parents and their children can get the support they need during this pandemic ?
Right Hon. Justin Trudeau: I am happy Mr Chair to correct the honourable member by pointing out that we actually moved in the most rapid and simplest possible way in providing income replacement to millions upon millions of Canadians who needed it through the Canada emergency response benefit However as the member points out when one moves quickly and efficiently there will be gaps and that is why we have been working diligently to try to fill those gaps We want to make sure that Canadians who need help get it
Ms. Jenny Kwan: While the Minister of Employment has been aware of this for three weeks and says she is looking into it there is still been no action The truth of the matter is that single parents and their children who depend on spousal support and child maintenance are not getting support Will the Prime Minister fix this ?
Right Hon. Justin Trudeau: We recognize the particular challenge faced by families single parents and families with young children which is why we increased the amount of the Canada child benefit to be able to support people in this particular moment On top of that we have looked to fill further gaps that have existed with the Canada emergency response benefit Well over seven million Canadians have access to CERB and we will continue to work with them
Ms. Jenny Kwan: That does not replace spousal support and child maintenance Prime Minister Across the country there is no national standard to address the homelessness crisis amidst this pandemic leaving communities at heightened risk from COVID19 Canadians who are homeless or living in substandard housing have no access to bathroom facilities for basic hygiene Those living in crowded SROs and shelters can not practise social distancing The problem is particularly acute in my riding in the Downtown Eastside While the BC government has implemented an initiative to house some of the homeless population in empty hotels in the short term support from the federal government is needed to secure permanent solutions postCOVID19 Will the Prime Minister commit to providing matching funds and take the right to adequate housing seriously ?
Right Hon. Justin Trudeau: I know that the honourable member would not want to inadvertently mislead the House The fact is the federal government almost immediately sent significant resources hundreds of millions of dollars to shelters across the country to enable them to create facilities including renting new spaces to be able to house homeless people without increasing the danger of the spread of COVID19 I recognize there is always more to do but as we demonstrated with our national housing strategy we are serious about fighting homelessness and supporting vulnerable Canadians and we will continue to do that
Ms. Jenny Kwan: The Prime Minister must know that the money the federal government sent is deficient Many people still remain homeless and they are at risk Cutting chronic homelessness by 50 over the next decade is not good enough and that is this Prime Ministers national housing strategy Will the government stop just making empty promises and ensure that every Canadian has the right to housing ? Will he top up the support for provinces to at least match their funds ?
Right Hon. Justin Trudeau: Mr Chair cutting chronic homelessness by 50 is an ambitious goal that no one else has ever been able to do as a government and we are well on track for it I would suggest that the member opposite not dismiss that as an empty promise because we have demonstrated actions on it I recognize there is more to do There is always more to do We will be there and continue to be there for vulnerable people including homeless Canadians
Ms. Jenny Kwan: I would remind the Prime Minister that it was the federal Liberals who eliminated the national affordable housing program in 1993 so we have this homeless crisis today as a result of the Liberals We in Vancouver East have the thirdlargest urban indigenous population in the country yet we got less than 2 of the pandemic urban indigenous housing funding They are overrepresented among the homeless population Why ?
Right Hon. Justin Trudeau: Mr Chair we recognize there is more to do in supporting urban indigenous people We have moved forward both through the Minister of Indigenous Services and the Minister of CrownIndigenous Relations to address the challenges facing urban aboriginal populations We will continue to work with them recognizing that they are among the most vulnerable people in Canada who deserve the right support from all orders of government and we will be there to support them increasingly in the coming years | During the pandemic of Covid-19, the government should fix this gap so that the single parents and their children could get the support they need. Also, matching funds and adequate housing should be given to support the affected in Canada. In addition, the elderly, one of the highest risk populations, had obtained extra funding from the government. Besides, vulnerable people like the disabled could gain more funding support and workers affected by the pandemic could also gain support. |

Marketing: I think the aim is better to use the whole world and Britain | Marketing thought the market included all kinds of people no matter if they were old and young. So it would be better if their aim was the whole world and Britain. Users Interface suggested that market aim should take the remote control style into consideration about. For instance in Britain, people had many things to do with TV. But normal TVs were not like this. |

Grad H: I ve been playing with using the close talking mike to do to try to figure out who s speaking So my first attempt was just using thresholding and filtering that we talked about about two weeks ago and so I played with that a little bit and it works O K pause except that pause it s very sensitive to your choice of your filter width and your threshold So if you fiddle around with it a little bit and you get good numbers you can actually do a pretty good job of segmenting when someone s talking and when they are not But if you try to use the same paramenters on another speaker it does not work anymore even if you normalize it based on the absolute loudness
PhD B: But does it work for that one speaker throughout the whole meeting ?
Grad H: It does work for the one speaker throughout the whole meeting Pretty well
PhD A: How did you do it Adam ?
Grad H: Pretty well How did I do it ? What do you mean ?
PhD A: I mean wh what was the
Grad H: The algorithm was take o every frame that s over the threshold and then median filter it and then look for runs So there was a minimum run length
PhD A: Every frame that s over what threshold ?
Grad H: so that A threshold that you pick
PhD A: In terms of energy ? Ah !
Postdoc F: Say that again ? Frame over fres threshold
Grad H: So you take a each frame and you compute the energy and if it s over the threshold you set it to one and if it s under the threshold you set it to zero so now you have a bit stream pause of zeros and ones And then I median filtered that using pause a fairly long pause filter length pause well actually I guess depends on what you mean by long you know tenth of a second sorts of numbers and that s to average out you know pitch you know the pitch contours and things like that And then looked for long runs And that works O K if you fil if you tune the filter parameters if you tune how long your median filter is and how high you are looking for your thresholds
PhD A: Did you ever try running the filter before you pick a threshold ?
Grad H: No I certainly could though But this was just I had the program mostly written already so it was easy to do OK and then the other thing I did was I took Javier s speaker change detector acoustic change detector and I implemented that with the close talking mikes and pause unfortunately that s not working real well and it looks like it s the problem is he does it in two passes the first pass is to find candidate places to do a break And he does that using a neural net doing broad phone classification and he has the the pause one of the phone classes is silence And so the possible breaks are where silence starts and ends And then he has a second pass which is a modeling a Gaussian mixture model looking for whether it improves or or degrades to split at one of those particular places And what looks like it s happening is that the even on the close talking mike the broad phone class classifier s doing a really bad job
PhD A: Who was it trained on ?
Grad H: I do not remember Does an do you remember Morgan was it Broadcast News ? pause So at any rate my next attempt pause which I m in the midst of and have not quite finished yet was actually using the thresholding as the way of generating the candidates Because one of the things that definitely happens is if you put the threshold low you get lots of breaks All of which are definitely acoustic events They are definitely someone talking But like it could be someone who is not the person here but the person over there or it can be the person breathing And then feeding that into the acoustic change detector And so I think that might work But I have not gotten very far on that But all of this is close talking mike so it s pause just just trying to get some ground truth
PhD E: Only with eh but eh I I I think eh when when y I I saw the the the the speech from PDA and eh pause close pause talker I I think the there is a a great difference in the in the signal but eh I but eh I I I mean that eh eh pause in the in the mixed file you can find pause zone with eh pause great different eh pause level of energy
Grad H: So pause s my intention for this is is as an aide for ground truth not
PhD E: I I think for eh pause algorithm based on energy pause eh that h mmm more or less eh like eh pause eh mmm first sound energy detector eh nnn When y you the detect the the the first at at the end of of the detector of ehm princ What is the the name in English ? the the mmm pause the de detector of ehm of a word in the in the s in an isolated word in in the background That
Grad H: I m I m not sure what you are saying can you try
PhD E: I mean that when when you use eh pause eh pause any
PhD A: I think he s saying the onset detector
PhD E: I I think it s probably to work well eh because eh pause you have eh in the mixed files a great level of energy eh pause and great difference between the sp speaker And probably is not so easy when you use the the PDA eh that Because the signal is eh pause the in the e energy level in in that eh pause eh pause speech file is eh pause more similar between the different eh speaker pause I I think is eh it will pause i is my opinion It will be eh pause more difficult to to detect bass tone energy the the change I think that
Grad H: Ah in the clo in the P D A you mean ? no question It will be much harder
PhD E: And the the another question that when I review the the the work of Javier I think the nnn the nnn pause that the idea of using a pause neural network to to get a broad class of phonetic eh pause from eh a candidate from the the the speech signal If you have eh I m considering only because Javier eh pause only consider eh pause like candidate the nnn eh pause the silence because it is the the only model eh eh he used that eh pause eh pause nnn to detect the the possibility of a a change between the between the speaker pause another another research thing different groups eh pause working eh pause on Broadcast News prefer to eh pause to consider hypothesis eh pause between each phoneme
Grad H: Mm when a pause phone changes
PhD E: Because I I I think it s more realistic that pause only consider the the the the silence between the speaker Eh pause there there exists eh pause silence between between eh pause a speaker is is eh pause eh pause acoustic eh pause event important to to consider I I found that the eh pause silence in in many occasions in the in the speech file but eh pause when you have eh pause eh two speakers together without enough silence between between them eh pause I think eh pause is better to use the acoustic change detector basically and I I I IX or mmm BIC criterion for consider all the frames in my opinion
Professor D: Mm the you know the reason that he pause just used silence was not because he thought it was better it was it was it was the place he was starting So he was trying to get something going and e e you know as as as is in your case if you are here for only a modest number of months you try to pick a realistic goal But his his goal was always to proceed from there to then allow broad category change also
PhD E: huh But eh pause do do you think that if you consider all the frames to apply the the eh pause the BIC criterion to detect the the the different acoustic change eh pause between speaker without pause with pause silence or with overlapping I think like like eh pause eh a general eh pause eh pause way of process the the acoustic change In a first step I mean An and then eh pause eh pause without considering the you you you pause you can consider the energy like a another parameter in the in the feature vector eh This this is the idea And if if you do that eh pause eh with a BIC criterion for example or with another kind of eh pause of distance in a first step and then you eh pause you get the eh pause the hypothesis to the this change acoustic eh pause to po process Because eh pause eh probably you you can find the the eh pause a small of silence between speaker with eh pause eh pause a ga mmm pause small duration Less than eh pause two hundred milliseconds for example and apply another another algorithm another approach like eh pause eh pause detector of ene eh detector of bass tone energy to to consider that eh that eh pause zone of s a small silence between speaker or another algorithm to to process eh pause the the segment between marks eh pause founded by the the the BIC criterion and applied for for each frame I think is eh pause nnn it will be a an an a more general approach the pause if we compare with use eh pause a neural net or another eh pause speech recognizer with a broad class or or narrow class because in my opinion eh pause it s in my opinion eh if you if you change the condition of the speech I mean if you adjust to your algorithm with a mixed speech file and to eh to eh pause adapt the neural net eh pause used by Javier with a mixed file With a m mixed file
Grad H: With the what file ?
PhD E: with a the mix mix Sorry And pause and then you you eh you try to to apply that eh eh eh speech recognizer to that signal to the PDA eh pause speech file I I think you will have problems because the the the the pause condition you you will need t t I I suppose that you will need to to to retrain it
Grad H: Oh absolutely This is this is not what I was suggesting to do
Professor D: you Look I I think this is a One once It s a I used to work like on voiced on voice silence detection you know and this is this pause kind of thing pause If you have somebody who has some experience with this sort of thing and they work on it for a couple months they can come up with something that gets most of the cases fairly easily Then you say `` OK I do not just want to get most of the cases I want it to be really accurate `` Then it gets really hard no matter what you do So the p the problem is is that if you say `` Well I I have these other data over here that I learn things from either explicit training of neural nets or of Gaussian mixture models or whatever `` pause Suppose you do not use any of those things You say you have looked for acoustic change Well what does that mean ? That that means you set some thresholds somewhere or something right ? and and so where do you get your thresholds from ? From something that you looked at So you always have this problem you are going to new data pause H how are you going to adapt whatever you can very quickly learn about the new data ? if it s going to be different from old data that you have ? And I think that s a problem pause with this
Grad H: Well also what I m doing right now is not intended to be an acoustic change detector for far field mikes What I m doing is trying to use the close talking mike and just use pause Can and just generate candidate and just pause try to get a first pass at something that sort of works and I have not spent a lot of time on it and I m not intending to spend a lot of time on it
PhD G: OK I I unfortunately have to run but pause I can imagine pause building pause a pause pause model of speaker change pause detection pause that takes into account pause both the far field and the pause actually not just the close talking mike for that speaker but actually for all of th pause for all of the speakers pause If you model the pause the pause effect that pause me speaking has on pause your pause microphone and everybody else s microphone as well as on that and you build basically I think you would you would pause build a an HMM that has as a state space all of the possible speaker combinations
Grad H: It s a little big
PhD G: It s not that big actually
Grad H: Two to the N Two to the number of people in the meeting
Professor D: But Actually Andreas may maybe maybe just something simpler but but along the lines of what you are saying I was just realizing I used to know this guy who used to build mike mixers automatic mike mixers where you know t in order to able to turn up the gain you know as much as you can you you you lower the gain on on the mikes of people who are not talking right ? And then he had some sort of reasonable way of doing that but what if you were just looking at very simple measures like energy measures but you do not just compare it to some threshold pause overall but you compare it to the energy in the other microphones
Grad H: I was thinking about doing that originally to find out pause who s the loudest and that person is certainly talking But I also wanted to find threshold excuse me mol overlap So not just just the loudest
PhD E: I I Sorry I I have found that when when I I analyzed the the speech files from the pause eh pause mike eh pause from the eh close eh pause microphone eh pause I found zones with a a different level of energy
PhD G: Sorry I have to go
Grad H: OK Could you fill that out anyway ? Just pause put your name in Are y you want me to do it ? I will do it
PhD A: But he s not going to even read that Oh
PhD E: including overlap zone including because eh pause eh pause depend on the position of the of the microph of the each speaker to eh to get more o or less energy i in the mixed sign in the signal and then if you consider energy to to detect overlapping in in and you process the the in the the the speech file from the the the mixed signals The mixed signals eh I I think it s it s difficult pause only to en with energy to to consider that in that zone We have eh eh overlapping zone Eh if you process only the the energy of the of each frame
Professor D: Well it s probably harder but I I think what I was s nnn noting just when he when Andreas raised that was that there s other information to be gained from looking at all of the microphones and you may not need to look at very sophisticated things because if there s if most of the overlaps you know this does not cover say three but if most of the overlaps say are two if the distribution looks like there s a couple high ones and and pause the rest of them are low
Grad H: And everyone else is low
Professor D: you know what I mean there s some information there about their distribution even with very simple measures by the way I had an idea with while I was watching Chuck nodding at a lot of these things is that we can all wear little bells on our heads so that then you would know that
Postdoc F: `` Ding `` That s cute !
PhD B: I think that would be really interesting too with blindfolds Then The question is pause like pause whether
Grad H: `` what are you nodding about ? ``
PhD B: Well trying with and pause with and without
Grad H: `` Sorry I m just I m just going to sleep ``
PhD B: But then there s just one like
PhD A: Actually I saw a a woman at the bus stop the other day who was talking on her cell phone speaking Japanese and was bowing you know profusely
PhD B: Oh that s really common It s very difficult if you try while you are trying say to convince somebody on the phone it s difficult not to move your hands Not You know if you watch people they will actually do these things So I still think we should try a a meeting or two with the blindfolds at least of this meeting that we have lots of recordings of maybe for part of the meeting we do not have to do it the whole meeting
Professor D: I think th I think it s a great idea

Grad E: Well I ve I ve talked to some of you already but I m looking into extending the work done by Larry Saul and John Allen and Mazin Rahim they they have a system that s a multi band system but their multi band is is a little different than the way that we ve been doing multi band in the past where Where we ve been comment taking pause pause sub band features and i training up these neural nets and on on phonetic targets and then combining them some somehow down the line they are they are taking sub band features and training up a detector that detects for these phonetic features for example he presents a detector to detect sonorance And so what what it basically is is it s there s at the lowest level there it s it s an OR ga I mean it s an AND gate So on each sub band you have several independent tests to test whether there s the existence of sonorance in a sub band And then it c it s combined by a soft AND gate And at the at the higher level for every if The higher level there s a soft OR gate so if if this detector detects the presence of of sonorance in any of the sub bands then the detect the OR gate at the top says `` OK well this frame has evidence of sonorance ``
PhD A: What are what are some of the low level detectors that they use ?
Grad E: And these are all Oh OK Well the low level detectors are logistic regressions and the
Professor C: So that by the way basically is a is one of the units in our in our our neural network So that s all it is It s a sig it s a sigmoid with weighted sum at the input which you train by gradient pause descent
Grad E: Right so he uses an THEM algorithm to to train up these parameters for the logistic regression
Professor C: so I was using THEM to get the targets So so you have this this this AND gate what we were calling an AND gate but it s a product product rule thing at the output And then he uses i you and then feeding into that are I m sorry there s it s an OR at the output is not it ? so that s the product And then then he has each of these AND things And but so they are little neural neural units and they have to have targets And so the targets come from THEM
PhD A: And so are each of these low level detectors comment are they are these something that you decide ahead of time like `` I m going to look for this particular feature or I m going to look at this frequency `` or What what what are they looking at ? What are their inputs ?
Grad E: Right so the OK so at each for each sub band comment there are basically several measures of SNR and and correlation and he said there s like twenty of these per per sub band and for for every s every sub band e you you just pick ahead of time `` I m going to have like five pause i independent logistic tests `` And you initialize these parameters in some some way and use THEM to come up with your training targets for a for the the low level detectors And then once you get that done you you you train the whole whole thing on maximum likelihood and h he shows that using this this method to detect sonorance is it s very robust compared to to typical full band Gaussian mixtures estimations of of sonorance And so so that s just that s just one detector So you can imagine building many of these detectors on different features You get enough of these detectors together then you have enough information to do higher level discrimination for example discriminating between phones | The team discussed how sonorance detection could constitute a low-level feature that their models detected. In one of the models, low level detectors are looking for specific sonorance features which are more robust than typical full-band Gaussian mixtures. |
princess: Oh? do tell.
priest: Well, er, uh. . . sorry, this is certainly unconventional and I do apologize. Do you see that worker at the Royal Tomb's entry?
princess: yes, what of it?
priest: Well, he's been raving about you non-stop. Now I know he's just a simple worker but I'd really appreciate you giving him some thought. Rumor is that his family is actually nobility from distant lands and that he chose to work here out of a overwhelming sense of respect for your lineage.
princess: i... see. well, i shall ruminate on that for a time.
priest: Oh, sweet princess thank you dearly. He's such a kind and thoughtful young man, I do think it would benefit you and the crown, not to mention he may finally quit daydreaming and get some work done around here!
princess: Well, perhaps i shall speak with later, but for now i am much too busy with matters of state.
Summarize the dialogue | The priest wants the princess to consider hiring the worker at the Royal Tomb's entry. The worker's family is noble and he chose to work there out of respect for the princess. |

owl: I will fly around to see if I can find something better for you
wolf: Thank you owl, that would be so kind.
owl: Okay. You might want to come further into the forest. That is where I live. It is safe
wolf: My pack and I are loners so we need to stay some where else.
owl: The outer edge of the forest will be better then. There are some old caves out there.
wolf: Thanks for the tip I'll have to check it out.

Jimmy: Hey guys, I was wondering if we could quickly go through the responsibilities each one is going to have in view of promotion of our event at the BM
Alejandra: Hey 👋
Alejandra: Good idea. I’m responsible for social media so will take care of the Twitter part and post something on Facebook as well
Alejandra: I would need Jimmy and Xavi to update me on any info about the event and send me any promotional materials (leaflet, poster, or any images available - however simple), so that I have content to publish
Alejandra: Would that be ok with you guys?
Alice: Hey guys 👻. Sorry for not being in touch. I am going to send an email around letting pgs at French departments know about the event.
Alice: Not sure if anyone will bother coming to London at such short notice though
Alice: Sorry 😭
Jimmy: No worries Alice. The email thing sounds cool
Jimmy: @Alejandra yep please promote via social media and I’ll try and get relevant info for you as soon as possible. Xavi, how is the leaflet/poster design going?
Xavi: Hey, sorry for the delay! I still haven’t heard from the IT guys at my department, but hopefully will have this sorted out before the end of the week. Once again, I’m sorry for the delay but I’m depending on them for that.
Jimmy: No worries, just keep us informed and send anything you get from them to Alejandra.
Xavi: Cool
Jimmy: OK, thanks guys, I think we have it sorted for now. Keep in touch
Alejandra: 🤗
Alice: 👌 | Jimmy, Alejandra, Alice and Xavi are promoting their event. Alejandra will organize the promotion via social media. Alice will send emails. Xavi is responsible for visual designs, but the IT technicians are causing a delay. |
Kolby: Have you forgotten about me already ;)
Helene: Noooo of course not, I’m just busy, a lot of work.
Kolby: But is everything alright?
Helene: Yea, more or less, just a lot of stress
Kolby: Something happened?
Helene: Aaaah recently I had a disagreement with my manager and she reported it
Kolby: Was it bad?
Helene: I told her what people think about her, that’s it
Kolby: It’s probably one of the worst things to do ;)
Helene: I know, don’t torture me T___T
Kolby: OK, I’m sorry, you said something else?
Helene: That I’m sorry that her life is fucked up but it’s not my fault xD
Kolby: I’m afraid to ask if that was it ;p
Helene: Eeem no right after I said that she went to her desk and wrote a report xp
Kolby: So what now? Hope you won’t lose your job?
Helene: I think they will just give the warning
Kolby: Who?
Helene: There is like a small apartment that takes care of such things and they will read the report, then I have a meeting with them, they give me a reprimand, blah blah
Kolby: Haha you’ll have to behave ;)
Helene: Yesss, definitely | Helene had a disagreement with her manager and she reported it. Helene will probably get a reprimand. Kolby hopes Helene won't lose her job. |
Barney: Does anyone know where I can buy this kind of bark that orchids grow in?
Lewis: Don't tell me you've taken up gardening :D
Barney: No, I dropped my mum's favorite orchid and now I have to replant it before she comes back.
Lewis: LOL, you're so clumsy!
Judith: Wait, I'll ask my Mum.
Lewis: You can always say it was the cat's fault :P
Barney: Then she'll say it was my fault anyway because I let the cat do it.
Lewis: Do you think she won't notice that you replanted it?
Barney: I hope so :D No, but in all seriousness, I hope that if she sees I did all I could to save it, she won't be that mad. She got that bloody plant from Dad on their 25th anniversary, it means a lot to her.
Judith: I'm back.
Barney: And?
Judith: Mum says to try at The Home Depot. She buys pots for her plants there.
Barney: Thank you! I've already ordered an identical pot from Amazon, but I forgot to order that bark too, and now it's too late to buy it online. Why can't orchids grow in soil like normal plants?
Lewis: Because they're too fancy for that?
Barney: LOL, right :D Okay, thanks for help, guys. And by “guys” I actually mean Judith :P Now I've gotta go to The Home Depot and pray that they have that goddamn bark there... | Barney dropped his mum's favourite orchid and wants to replant it. He needs bark, but doesn't know where to get it. Judith suggests The Home Depot. |
