Cath: I'm aware of that, just a mistake! Does she like those horsey figures, Ruby is mad keen at the moment.
Mariah: No, sorry. Unicorns only, with rainbows AND glitter. She's been very specific!

#Person1#: Well, Charles, I must say that your shop is pretty remarkable. Do people send the fax messages abroad, or is it just to this country?
#Person2#: It's surprising because when I started, I thought I'd be sending things to London and maybe Birmingham but, in fact, a high percentage of it is sent abroad, because it's immediate and speedy.
#Person1#: And how much would it cost, for example, if I wanted to send a fax to the United States?
#Person2#: Well, a fax to the United States would cost you five pounds for a page. And when you think that in England by the Royal Mail, it would cost you twelve pounds to send a page by special delivery, it's actually a good value.
#Person1#: Ok. What about your hours? How long do you have to spend actually in the shop?
#Person2#: Well, the shop is open from eight in the morning until six at night, six days a week, and then a sort of fairly flexible morning on a Sunday. Urn, and of those hours, I'm in it quite a lot.
#Person1#: And did you enjoy it?
#Person2#: Yes, overall I enjoy it. Running a business by yourself is hard work and you never quite like every aspect all the time. 95% of the customers I love. Uh, 2% I really, you know, I'm not too bothered about. And 3% I positively hate.
#Person1#: What, what's the problem with those?
#Person2#: Um, it's hard to categorize really. I find people who are just totally rude, um, unnecessary, and I don't really need their business and I suppose they form the volume of the people that I don't like but it's a very small percentage. | Charles tells #Person1# that he is also surprised at the fact that a high percentage of the fax is sent abroad. Then Charles introduces the price to send the fax abroad. #Person1# asks Charles his hour in the shop and Charles tells #Person1# he overall enjoys it. |

priest: Hello there. Have you come here to pray?
Summarize the dialogue | The priest welcomes the pilgrims. |
Professor B: So that if you know about it let s say a particular town hall that it s one that is a monument then that would be stored there If you do not you look up the hierarchy Eh so you you you may or So then you would have this little vector of you know Approach Mode or EVA Mode Let s OK so we have the EVA vector for for various kinds of landmarks If you know it for a specific landmark you put it there If you do not you just go up the hierarchy to the first place you find one
Grad D: OK So is the idea to put it in the ontology ?
Professor B: or link to or but but in any case i View it logically as being in the ontology It s part of what you know about a an object is its EVA vector And if yo As I say if you know about a specific object you put it there This is part of what Dekai was doing So when we get to Wu The e We will see w what he says about that And then if you If it is not there it s higher and if you do not know anything except that it s a b it s it s a building then up at the highest thing you have the pr what amounts to a prior If you do not know anything else about a building you just take whatever your crude approximation is up at that level which might be equal or whatever it is So that s a very pretty relationship between these local vectors and the ontology And it seems to me the obvious thing to do unless we find a reason to do something different Does this make sense to you ?
Grad D: So we are but we we are not doing the ontology so we have to get to whoever is doing the you ultimately
Professor B: Indeed So that s another thing we are going to need to do is is to either
Grad D: we have to get them to
Professor B: We are going to need some way to either get a p tag in the ontology or add fields or comment comment some way to associate Or w It may be that all we can do is some of our own hash tables that it Th the th you know there s always a way to do that It s a just a question of
Grad A: hash on object name to you know the probabilities or whatever
Professor B: i th e Right And so i
Grad C: But it s Well it strikes me as a What For If we get the mechanism that will be sort of the wonderful part And then how to make it work is is the second part in the sense that I mean m the guy who was doing the ontology eh eh s ap apologized that i it will take him another through two to three days because they are having really trouble getting the upper level straight and right now The reason is given the craw bet the the the projects that all carry their own taxonomy and on all history they are really trying to build one top level ontology ft that covers all the EML projects and that s sort of a tough cookie a little bit tougher than they figured I could have told them s so But nevertheless it s going to be there by n by next Monday and I will show you what s what some examples from that for towers and stuff And what I do not think is ever going to be in the ontology is sort of you know the likelihood of eh people entering r town halls and looking at town halls and approaching town halls especially since we are b dealing with a case based not an instance based ontology So there will be nothing on on that town hall or on the Berkeley town hall or on the Heidelberg town hall it will just be information on town halls
Professor B: Well they they they How ar What are they going to do with instances ?
Grad C: Well that s Hhh That s that s al different question I mean th the first they had to make a design question `` do we take ontologies that have instances ? or just one that does not that just has the types ? `` And so since the d decision was on types on a d simply type based we now have to hook it up to instances I mean this is
Professor B: But what i What is SmartKom going to do about that ? Cuz they have instances all the time
Grad C: but the ontology is really not a SmartKom thing in in and of itself That s more something that I kicked loose in in EML So it s a completely EML thing
Professor B: But SmartKom s going to need an ontology
Grad C: Yes you a w a lot of people are aware of that
Professor B: I understand but is anybody doing anything about it ? OK It s a political problem We will not worry about it
Grad C: No but th the r eh I th I still think that there is enough information in there For example whether OK So th it will know about the twenty object types there are in the world Let s assume there are only twenty object types in this world And it will know if any of those have institutional meanings So in a sense `` I `` used as Institutions for some s in some sense or the other Which makes them enterable Right ? In a sense
Professor B: Anyway So we may have to This is with the whole thing we may have to build another data stru Conceptually we know what should be done When we see what people have done it may turn out that the easiest thing to do is to build a a separate thing that that just pools i i Like i i it it may be that the the instance w That we have to build our own instance things that with their types
Grad D: it s Right we can just assume
Professor B: and then it goes off to the ontology once you have its type So we build a little data structure And so what we would do in that case is in our instance gadget have our E V And if we d there is not one we would get the type and then have the E V As for the type So we would have our own little EVA tree And then for other vectors that we need So we would have our own little things so that whenever we needed one we would just use the ontology to get the type and then would hash or whatever we do to say `` ah ! If it s that type of thing and we want its EVA vector pppt pppt ! comment it s that `` So I I think we can handle that And then But the combination functions and whether we can put those in Java Bayes and all that sort of stuff is is the bigger deal I think that s where we have to get technically clever
Grad A: We could just steal the classes in JavaBayes and then interface to them with our own code
Professor B: Well I me ye nonvocalsound eh the
Grad D: That requires understanding the classes in JavaBayes I guess
Professor B: I mean it s e e e e e cute I mean you ve been around enough to I mean Just ? I mean there s this huge package which which may or may not be consistent and you know But we could look at it
Grad A: Well I was j OK
Professor B: It s b It It s an inter sort of a kind of a it The thing is it s kind of an interpreter and i i it expects its data structures to be in a given form and if you say `` hey we are going to make a different kind of data structure to stick in there ``
Grad A: Well no but that just means there s a protocol right ? That you could
Professor B: It may or may not I do not know That s the question is `` to what extent does it allow us to put in these G functions ? `` And I do not know
Grad A: Well no but I mean What I the So you could have four different Bayes nets that you are running and then run your own write your own function that would take the output of those four and make your own `` G function `` is what I was saying
Professor B: that s fine if it s if it comes only at the end But suppose you want it embedded ?
Grad A: Well then you would have to break all of your Bayes nets into smaller Bayes nets with all the
Professor B: Oh that that s a truly horrible way to do d it One would hope you bet But at that point you may say `` hey Java Bayes is not the only package in town Let s see if there s another package that s eh more civilized about this `` Now Srini is worth talking to on this | Object representations will include an EVA vector. This can be incorporated in the database entry for a particular building or inherited from the ontology of the building type. As the project evolves, further enrichment of the ontology (actions, linguistic features) will be necessary. |
#Person1#: Good morning, sir.
#Person2#: Good morning. I'd like a business suit made with this material.
#Person1#: Do you have a particular style in mind?
#Person2#: The kind that never goes out of fashion, I guess.
#Person1#: I think you should realize that even the most conservative style changes.
#Person2#: I'm sure you're right. I just dread the idea of making a new suit every year.
#Person1#: The changes are usually not that dramatic. We just got some pictures of the latest fashion. Would you like to take a look?
#Person2#: Good. I think I'll choose this single breasted one. When can I get it?
#Person1#: Next Friday.

#Person1#: do you have any plans for dinner tonight?
#Person2#: no, I was thinking of putting a frozen pizza in the oven or something. How about you?
#Person1#: I was thinking maybe we could make dinner together tonight. What do you think?
#Person2#: I'm absolutely useless at cooking!
#Person1#: I could teach you how to cook something healthy. Frozen pizza are so bad for you!
#Person2#: I know they aren't good for me, but they are cheap, convenient, and fairly tasty.
#Person1#: I recently saw a piece for spicy chicken curry in a magadize. Maybe we could try that?
#Person2#: yeah, why not. Do you have all the ingredients?
#Person1#: I bought all the ingredients this morning, so let's start!
#Person2#: what do we do first?
#Person1#: first, you need to wash the vegetables and then chop them into little pieces.
#Person2#: ok. Should I heat the wok?
#Person1#: yes. Once it gets hot, put a little oil in it, add the vegetables and stir-fry them for a few minutes.
#Person2#: what about the chicken?
#Person1#: that needs to be cut into thin strips about 3 cm long and then it can be stir-fried on its own until its cooked through.
#Person2#: how about the rice?
#Person1#: I'll prepare it. Do you prefer white rice or brown rice?
#Person2#: white rice, please. None of that healthy brown stuff for me! | #Person1# asks #Person2# what for dinner and wants to cook something healthy when #Person2# suggests frozen pizza. #Person2# says #Person2# is not good at cooking, but #Person1# could teach #Person2# to make spicy chicken curry with rice. |
mariner: Better them then me. You caught anything today?
fisher: Only a cold. It is frightfully chilly with the storm moving in.
mariner: Hey, I don't do this for everybody but you seem like a good guy. This map details the best spots to catch regardless of weather.
fisher: Thank you kindly good Mariner! If ever you are in need of a meal of fish, come to me and it will be yours.
mariner: That's very kind. I love a trout!
fisher: Do you like sea bass? They will feed you for days.
mariner: Never had it, how do you best prepare it?
fisher: Cook it slowly, with bacon on top to add to the taste. Divine!
mariner: Ah, divine. How about you and I work together? We'll catch em, cook em, and eat em.
fisher: Sounds like a plan, with your knowledge of the sea, we will be fisher kings for sure!

queen: I'm quite alright, thank you. I'm going to have to ask you to leave or I will be calling a guard. This is for your own safety, as if the king caught you you would already be dead.
villagers: He sounds dangerous. Maybe you oughta have this, protect yourself a bit.
queen: He is dangerous, but only to fools like you who loiter and trespass!
villagers: Ain't you lottering too? Loyering? Loinering? Whatever it was you said.
queen: Loitering, loi-ter-ing! God, no wonder you did this, you can't even speak! And he is my husband!
villagers: You mean you're the queen? Tolyn Markus, Ma said to me, if you ever meet the queen you're gonna make a fool of yourself, and I reckon she was right.
queen: Well she seems like quite the wise woman, as she was more than correct!
villagers: She were the best. And oh she could cook. Her pies was famous!

Alex: Hi!!! Long time no hear :) Yeah, I do, what's up?
David: Look, my boss is looking for someone who could teach him, so I thought about you.
Alex: Sure thing! What level is he at now?
David: Hm... Hard to tell, haven't asked ;) I think he just wants to be fluent, so he probably needs some to have conversations with.
Alex: No problem, the thing is I only have Mondays and Wednesdays off...
David: oh my, that's perfect! He's quite a busy guy, but he said Wednesday sounds fine.
Alex: Great then! Thanks for this! :)
David: Hahaha, no problem! So, can I text him your number?
Alex: Of course :)
David: He'll call you in the evening, we're still in the office. He's quite tech-savvy so he can also text you on what's app :D
Alex: Hahaha, great! How are you by the way? I owe you a coffee for this!
David: Shut up, you owe me nothing, but I would happily go out, we have so much catching up

#Person1#: I'm really looking forward to going camping this summer, Jason. When I get into the forest, I feel like I can finally relax. It's better than any beach.
#Person2#: Me too, Sarah. I can't wait to sit by a fire and sleep in the forest under the stars. The one thing I find stressful, however, is the packing.
#Person1#: Why is that?
#Person2#: We have to bring sleeping bags, clothes, food, water, games and so much more, but we don't have enough room in our car for extra stuff. It's really frustrating.

#Person2#: do you prefer brandy or ports.
#Person1#: port, please.
#Person2#: excellent choice. I love its smooth flavor.

#Person1#: Hi. How can I help you?
#Person2#: Yeah. I'd like to rent a mid-size car for three days.
#Person1#: Okay. Let me check to see if we have one available. Hmmm. It's doesn't look like we do. We have a couple of economy, compact, and full-size cars available, or a nice minivan.
#Person2#: Well, what is the main difference between these cars?
#Person3#: The main difference is size. The economy car is the smallest, and it seats fewer passengers and can hold less luggage. [Okay.] How many people are with you?
#Person2#: Just me and my son.
#Person1#: Well, the economy car would work. We have one right out front.
#Person2#: Where? That one? It looks more like a shoebox to me. I'm really tall and trying squeeze into that thing ... I don't think so.
#Person1#: Well, if you need more room or comfort, I recommend the full-size car. It also has a nice stereo system, CD player, [Alright] safety rear door locks, and cruise control, and power locks and windows.
#Person2#: Well, I'm not so concerned about how it's equipped. I just want to make sure it is comfortable to drive. And what is the daily rate for that anyway?
#Person1#: Well, let's see here. Oh, yeah. It'll come to fifty-seven ninety-five a day.
#Person2#: Wow, a little expensive. But what's the cost for mileage?
#Person1#: Hey, all of our cars have unlimited miles, but of course, that doesn't include gas.
#Person2#: Yeah, right. I bet that car probably eats up gas, and now that were in the middle of the vacation season, gas stations are gouging consumers with astronomical prices.
#Person1#: Well, as they say, it comes down to the law of supply an demand.
#Person2#: Well, anyway, can you install a car seat in one of those cars? I have a 3-year-old son with me.
#Person1#: Sure, and that'll only be one dollar extra per day.
#Person2#: I'll go with the full-size car. Wait, uh ... what does it look like?
#Person1#: Uh, it's right out there in the parking lot. [Which one?] The one over there next to the sidewalk.
#Person2#: Do you mean that old lemon with the missing hubcap? Ahhh.
#Person1#: Sir, excuse me. We take pride in our vehicles. It's just that it's one of the last cars on our lot, but it runs like a dream. Don't let the exterior fool you. Hey, I'll even give you an extra fifteen dollars off the daily rate to show you we are serious about pleasing our customers. Will there be any other drivers?
#Person2#: No, I'm the only driver.
#Person1#: Okay. Would you like to purchase our daily car protection plan?
#Person2#: What's that exactly?
#Person1#: Well, the car protection plan is a complete insurance package covering damage to the vehicle, [Okay] injury or loss of life to you or your passengers [Oh]. It even includes incidental road damage caused by, let's say, a huge boulder rolling down the mountain and crushing your car. [Oh, uh, well ... ]. However, it won't cover loss of property due to theft. Too much crime in the area anyway. [What? Wh ... What about this crime? What, what?]. Don't worry about it. And the car protection plan is only seventeen ninety-five per day. [But you were saying?] And the nicest thing about this coverage is that you can rent the car without the worry and hassle of making a complicated claim in case you do have a problem.
#Person2#: But wouldn't my own car insurance cover those problems?
#Person1#: It might, but each insurance policy is different. With our car protection plan, however, you deal directly with us in case there is a problem [Well ... ], and we handle everything quickly, and you don't have to contact your own insurance company. Okay. Let me just confirm this. A full-size car with a car seat for three days [Yeah], plus the car protection package. Is that right? [That's right.] Okay, I'll have our mechanic, Louie, check the car over and pull it up to the door.
#Person2#: Push it up to the door? I hope this car really runs.
#Person1#: Well, in case it does break down on some out-of-the-way, deserted road, just call the toll-free number for assistance. They'll come to assist you within ... two business days. [Two business days!!!] Enjoy your trip. | #Person2# wants to rent a mid-size car but #Person1# doesn't have an available one. #Person1# introduces the cars of different sizes to #Person2# and recommends a full-sized car.

Professor A: OK ? That s what s going on What s up with you ?
Grad B: our t I went to talk with Mike Jordan this this week nonvocalsound and shared with him the ideas about extending the Larry Saul work and I asked him some questions about factorial H M so like later down the line when we ve come up with these these feature detectors how do we how do we you know model the time series that that happens and and we talked a little bit about factorial H M Ms and how when you are doing inference or w when you are doing recognition there s like simple Viterbi stuff that you can do for for these H M and the the great advantages that a lot of times the factorial H M Ms do not do not over alert the problem there they have a limited number of parameters and they focus directly on on the sub problems at hand so you can imagine five or so parallel features transitioning independently and then at the end you you couple these factorial H M Ms with with undirected links based on based on some more data So he he seemed he seemed like really interested in in in this and said said this is this is something very do able and can learn a lot and I ve just been continue reading about certain things thinking of maybe using m modulation spectrum stuff to as features also in the in the sub bands because it seems like the modulation spectrum tells you a lot about the intelligibility of of certain words and stuff So Just that s about it
Grad C: OK And so I ve been looking at Avendano s work and I will try to write up in my next stat status report a nice description of what he s doing but it s it s an approach to deal with reverberation or that the aspect of his work that I m interested in the idea is that normally an analysis frames are too short to encompass reverberation effects in full You miss most of the reverberation tail in a ten millisecond window and so you you would like it to be that the reverberation responses simply convolved in but it s not really with these ten millisecond frames cuz you j But if you take say a two millisecond window I m sorry a two second window then in a room like this most of the reverberation response is included in the window and the then it then things are l more linear It is it is more like the reverberation response is simply c convolved and and you can use channel normalization techniques like in his thesis he s assuming that the reverberation response is fixed He just does mean subtraction which is like removing the DC component of the modulation spectrum and that s supposed to d deal deal pretty well with the reverberation and the neat thing is you can not take these two second frames and feed them to a speech recognizer so he does this method training trading the the spectral resolution for time resolution and come ca synthesizes a new representation which is with say ten second frames but a lower s frequency resolution So I do not really know the theory I guess it s these are called `` time frequency representations `` and h he s making the the time sh finer grained and the frequency resolution less fine grained s so I m I guess my first stab actually in continuing his work is to re implement this this thing which changes the time and frequency resolutions cuz he does not have code for me So that that will take some reading about the theory I do not really know the theory Oh and another f first step is so the the way I want to extend his work is make it able to deal with a time varying reverberation response and we do not really know how fast the the reverberation response is varying the Meeting Recorder data so we we have this block least squares imp echo canceller implementation and I want to try finding the the response say between a near mike and the table mike for someone using the echo canceller and looking at the echo canceller taps and then see how fast that varies from block to block That should give an idea of how fast the reverberation response is changing
Professor A: OK I think we are sort of done So let s read our digits and go home
Grad C: S so y you do I think you read some of the the zeros as O s and some as zeros Is there a particular way we are supposed to read them ?
PhD E: There are only zeros here Well
Professor A: No `` O `` `` O `` `` O `` `` O `` `` O `` `` O `` and `` zero `` are two ways that we say that digit
PhD E: Perhaps in the sheets there should be another sign for the if we want to the the guy to say `` O `` or
Professor A: No I mean I think people will do what they say I mean in digit recognition we ve done before you have you have two pronunciations for that value `` O `` and `` zero ``
PhD E: But it s perhaps more difficult for the people to prepare the database then if because here you only have zeros and and people pronounce `` O `` or zero
Professor A: they they write down OH or they write down ZERO a and they and they each have their own pronunciation
PhD E: but if the sh the sheet was prepared with a different sign for the `` O ``
Professor A: But people would not know what that wa I mean there is no convention for it See I mean you would have to tell them `` OK when we write this say it tha `` you know and you just They just want people to read the digits as you ordinarily would and and people say it different ways
Grad C: OK Is this a change from the last batch of of forms ? Because in the last batch it was spelled out which one you should read
Professor A: Yes That s right It was it was spelled out and they decided they wanted to get at more the way people would really say things That s also why they are they are bunched together in these different groups So so it s So it s it s Everything s fine OK Actually let me just s since since you brought it up I was just it was hard not to be self conscious about that when it after we since we just discussed it But I realized that that when I m talking on the phone certainly and and saying these numbers I almost always say zero And cuz because i it s two syllables It s it s more likely they will understand what I said So that that that s the habit I m in but some people say `` O `` and
Grad B: I normally say `` O `` cuz it s easier to say
Professor A: it s shorter So it s So So Now do not think about it | Grad B shared some of his progress on how the modulation spectrum could speak to the intelligibility of different linguistic units. Grad C was working on reverberation and how a model may deal with varying reverberation response. The discussion ended with different pronunciation, "O" and "zero" for the digit zero. |

Amie: Hello Liam! How's life?
Liam: Boring...
Amie: Look who's talking! You of all people! How long have been home now, eh?
Liam: That's the problem. For 5 long weeks now! Terrible! How is you?
Amie: The usual me. Working, working, working. That's what I call boring!
Liam: Don't you always say that you love your little job? Eh?
Amie: Well I do but I wish I had more time for myself. Like you. You lucky devil!
Liam: But you have 6 weeks of holidays at your disposal. Why don't you split it and have 2, 3 nice trips? 3 weeks on Majorca in winter and 2 weeks in Norway in summer.
Amie: Ya golden! And who's going to pay for it?!
Liam: OK so fly to Vietnam in winter, it can be dirt cheap, and in summer to Cuba. It's always cheap.
Amie: Not really. It's not me. I'd be scared stiff traveling to those countries. Apart from that Robert hates traveling. Even Carlisle is too far away for him.
Liam: That's tough.
Amie: Something else. I wondered if you could translate a text for me. We got a strange letter the other day and the lingo looks like English in one part, but we can't make heads or tails of it, and then follows a paper that's probably in Vietnamese. Could you have a look at it please?
Liam: Get me a pic of it.
Amie: <file_photo>
Liam: Vietnamese alright. Sounds like an job application.
Amie: Very likely! Could you translate it for us? Of course with an invoice and staff.
Liam: Sure. Just scan the whole thing and attach it to an email to my gmail address. You've got it, haven't you?
Amie: Thank you. Yes, I've got your email. You'll have it all by midday tomorrow.
Liam: How urgent is it?
Amie: Hard to say. Depends on what's in it. You tell me.
Liam: Got it. You'll hear from me tomorrow evening.
Amie: Thanks Liam. I do appreciate it.
Liam: Anytime. | Liam's bored as he's been home for five weeks. Amie's also bored because she has to work all the time and she'd like to have more time for herself. She can't travel a lot for financial reasons and because Robert's not a great fan of travelling. Liam's going to translate a Vietnamese letter for her. |
