Professor C: I mean this is the kind of reason why I remember when at one of the Switchboard workshops that when we talked about doing the transcription project Dave Talkin said `` can not be done `` He was he was what what he meant was that this is not you know a sequence of phones and when you actually look at Switchboard that s not what you see and you know And It
Grad F: And in in fact the inter annotator agreement was not that good right ? On the harder ones ?
PhD G: It depends how you look at it and I I understand what you are saying about this kind of transcription exactly because I ve seen you know where does the voicing bar start and so forth All I m saying is that it is useful to have that the transcription of what was really said and which syllables were reduced if you are going to add the features it s also useful to have some level of representation which is is a reduced it s a pronunciation variant that currently the dictionaries do not give you because if you add them to the dictionary and you run recognition you you add confusion So people purposely do not add them So it s useful to know which variant was was produced at least at the phone level
PhD D: So it would be it would be great if we had either these kind of labelings on the same portion of Switchboard that Steve marked or Steve s type markings on this data with these
PhD G: Right That s all I mean Exactly
Professor C: no I I do not disagree with that
PhD G: And Steve s type is fairly it s not that slow I do not know exactly what the timing was but
Professor C: you I do not disagree with it the on the only thing is that What you actually will end en end up with is something i it s all compromised right so the string that you end up with is not actually what happened But it s it s the best compromise that a group of people scratching their heads could come up with to describe what happened
PhD D: And it s more accurate than phone labels
Professor C: But And it s more accurate than the than the dictionary or if you ve got a pronunciation lexicon that has three or four this might be have been the fifth one that you tr that you pruned or whatever
PhD D: So it s like a continuum It s you are going all the way down
PhD G: That s what I meant is an and in some places it would fill in So the kinds of gestural features are not everywhere So there are some things that you do not have access to either from your ear or the spectrogram but you know what phone it was and that s about all you can all you can say And then there are other cases where nasality voicing
PhD D: It s basically just having multiple levels of of information and marking on the signal
Grad F: Well the other difference is that the the features are not synchronous right They overlap each other in weird ways So it s not a strictly one dimensional signal So I think that s sorta qualitatively different
PhD G: Right You can add the features in but it will be underspecified Th there will be no way for you to actually mark what was said completely by features
Grad F: Well not with our current system but you could imagine designing a system that the states were features rather than phones
PhD G: And i if you are Well we we ve probably have a separate discussion of of whether you can do that
Postdoc B: That s Well pause is not that I thought that was well but that was not that kind of the direction ?
Professor C: so I mean what what where this is I mean I I want would like to have something that s useful to people other than those who are doing the specific kind of research I have in mind so it should be something broader But The but where I m coming from is we are coming off of stuff that Larry Saul did with with John Dalan and Muzim Rahim in which they have a m a multi band system that is trained through a combination of gradient learning an and THEM to pause estimate the value for m for for a particular feature OK And this is part of a larger image that John Dalan has about how the human brain does it in which he s sort of imagining that individual frequency channels are coming up with their own estimate of of these these kinds of something like this Might not be you know exact features that Jakobson thought of or something But I mean you know some something like that Some kind of low level features which are not fully you know phone classification And the the th this particular image of how thi how it s done is that then given all of these estimates at that level there s a level above it then which is is making some kind of sound unit classification such as you know phone and and you know You could argue what what a sound unit should be and and so forth But that that s sort of what I was imagining doing and but it s still open within that whether you would have an intermediate level in which it was actually phones or not You would not necessarily have to but Again I would not want to would not want what we we produced to be so know local in perspective that it it was matched what we were thinking of doing one week And and and you know what you are saying is absolutely right That that if we can we should put in another level of of description there if we are going to get into some of this low level stuff
PhD D: Well you know I mean if we are talking about having the annotators annotate these kinds of features it seems like You know you The the question is do they do that on meeting data ? Or do they do that on Switchboard ?
Grad F: That s what I was saying
Postdoc B: W Well it seems like you could do both
Grad F: maybe meeting data is not the right corpus
Postdoc B: I mean I was thinking that it would be interesting to do it with respect to parts of Switchboard anyway in terms of partly to see if you could generate first guesses at what the articulatory feature would be based on the phone representation at that lower level It might be a time gain But also in terms of comparability of
PhD D: Well cuz the and then also if you did it on Switchboard you would have the full continuum of transcriptions You would have it from the lowest level the ac acoustic features then you would have the you know the phonetic level that Steve did
PhD G: that that s all I was thinking about
Postdoc B: And you could tell that
PhD G: it is telephone band so the bandwidth might be
PhD D: It would be a complete set then
Postdoc B: And you get the relative gain up ahead
Professor C: It s so it s a little different So I mean i we will see wha how much we can get the people to do and how much money we will have and all this sort of thing
PhD D: But it it might be good to do what Jane was saying you know seed it with guesses about what we think the features are based on you know the phone or Steve s transcriptions or something to make it quicker
Professor C: but Might be do both
Grad F: Alright so based on the phone transcripts they would all be synchronous but then you could imagine nudging them here and there | The group also considered the prospect of performing fine-grained acoustic-phonetic analyses on a subset of Meeting Recorder digits or Switchboard data. Pre-segmentation manipulations that allow for the segmentation of channel-specific speech/non-speech portions of the signal and the distinction of foreground versus background speech were discussed. |

Anton: Well, me and Bruno can go to the museum together and if you can't make it, you can always join us for drinks after
Bruno: Please do!
Alba: OK, I'll let you know as soon as I know what's happening. Be informed though that uncertainty can last for quite a while, as it usually does
Bruno: No worries, we'll be close to where you work anywhere. I assume it's still in Chueca?
Alba: Yeah, we've moved to a smaller office (decay!) but it's still in Chueca
Anton: Cool. Can I say that I'm even more excited for the drinks with you two than for the museum? What are we even going to see? 😂
Bruno: lol that's kind. I don't know 😂
Alba: oh lol
Bruno: Ha ha ha. Well, quite obviously I'm also more interested in those sublime gin & tonics we're going to have, but I was able to check what's new at Prado. Turns out they have this exhibition about life and death in Spanish baroque painting or something like that
Alba: That's what I call a specific description
Anton: Exuberant, rich in detail, almost as if Bruno has single-handedly ERECTED the façade of a baroque church before our eyes
