#Person2#: OK. I watch people a lot. I do that when I travel. I've been to many countries such as Britain, Italy and Sweden. So I spend a lot of time at airports.

There was a picture of them in the paper. The couple really looked like the wiz. Maybe I should stop them. Just then, I saw them say goodbye to each other, and the woman walked away.

dragon: What brings you here King and Quen?
king: We wanted to inspect the castle entrance. We heard it has fallen into a bit of a state of disrepair. Did someone let you in? It's unusual to see a dragon at the castle.
dragon: Yes i do not wish to be seen often, that is why i do not like you here.
king: You don't like me here? It's MY castle.
dragon: Do not tempt me, everywhere i go i own. I am more powerful than you and you should respect that.

#Person1#: Hello, come in, I've been waiting for you.
#Person2#: Than you, I'm not late, am I?
#Person1#: No, no, no, not at all. It's just that I've been looking forward to meeting you.
#Person2#: Well, thank you, but it's not all that hard to do, you know. I've been calling your office and sending you proposals for about two years now, and you've never responded before.
#Person1#: Ha, ha, ha! Yes, I guess I deserved that. Let me explain, okay?
#Person2#: Please, I wish you would.
#Person1#: Well, as you probably know I buy from a selected group of suppliers and don't, as a rule, deal with new people.
#Person2#: Yes, I know that. It's why Ive been trying to become one of those suppliers. I hear you're a good man to do business with.
#Person1#: I'm very old-fashioned. I believe in loyalty. Once I start a sales relationship with someone, I stay with him or her, and we so most of our business on the phone. I expect their absolute best price possible and don't haggle. But if I find out they screwed me over, then I find another supplier.
#Person2#: That's pretty much what I heard.
#Person1#: Well, those are my terms. As long as you honor them, we do business. If you break faith and try to take advantage, I'll find someone else to work with. Can you live with that?
#Person2#: No problem at all, Mike. Just give me the chance. | Mike has never responded #Person2# before because he buys from a selected group of suppliers and doesn't deal with new people. #Person2# has been trying to become one of those suppliers and asks Mike to give #Person2# the chance. |

#Person1#: What topic did you finally choose for the term paper for your World Economy class?
#Person2#: After thinking about a few ideas, I finally settled on the difference between Japanese and American styles of management.
#Person1#: Hmm. Why did you choose a topic like that?
#Person2#: Well, I'm planning to study Business in graduate school next year. After that, I hope to start my own company.

Grad B: So the only thing I want to say about digits is we are pretty much done with the first test set There are probably forms here and there that are marked as having been read that were not really read So I will not really know until I go through all the transcriber forms and extract out pieces that are in error So I wa Two things The first is what should we do about digits that were misread ? My opinion is we should just throw them out completely and have them read again by someone else You know the grouping is completely random so it it s perfectly fine to put a a group together again of errors and have them re read just to finish out the test set
Postdoc F: Oh ! By throw them out completely ?
Grad B: the other thing you could do is change the transcript to match what they really said So those are those are the two options
Professor A: But there s often things where people do false starts I know I ve done it where I say say a
Grad B: What the transcribers did with that is if they did a correction and they eventually did read the right string comment you extract the right string
PhD G: Oh you are talking about where they completely read the wrong string and did not correct it ?
Grad B: And did not notice Which happens in a few places
Postdoc F: Well and s and you are talking string wise you are not talking about the entire page ?
Grad B: And so the the two options are change the transcript to match what they really said but then but then the transcript is not the Aurora test set anymore I do not think that really matters because the conditions are so different And that would be a little easier
PhD G: Well how many are how how often does that happen ?
Grad B: Mmm five or six times
PhD G: Oh so it s not very much
Grad B: No it s not much at all
PhD G: Seems like we should just change the transcripts
Professor A: it s five or six times out of pause thousands ?
PhD C: Four thous Ah ! Four thousand
Professor A: I would tak do the easy way It it s kind of nice I mean wh who knows what studies people will be doing on on speaker dependent things and so I think having having it all the speakers who we had is is at least interesting
PhD G: So you how many digits have been transcribed now ?
Grad B: Four thousand lines And each line is between one and about ten digits I did not I did not compute the average I think the average was around four or five
Professor A: So that s a couple hours of of speech probably Which is a reasonable reasonable test set
Grad B: And Jane I do have a set of forms which I think you have copies of somewhere Oh you do ? Oh OK good good | The first test set of digits is complete and includes 4,000 lines, each comprising between 1-10 digits. New digits forms were distributed for eliciting different prosodic groupings of numbers. New naming conventions were discussed as means for facilitating the sorting process. Existing files will be changed so that all filenames are of equal length. Similar changes will be made to speaker identification tags. Files will also contain information specifying channel, microphone, and broadcaster information. |

fruit bat: Well, you see, I was hoping you might make a customized one for me. A tiny one to grab with my wings.
weapons master: I cannot say I have that on hand, typically I equip soldiers. Perhaps I could fashion one.
fruit bat: I will also require armor. A master as skilled as you should have no trouble with such a simple task.
weapons master: Can I do it, sure. It will take a bit of time however, your proportions are hardly normal so to say.
fruit bat: i suppose so. I plan on seeking revenge against those who mocked me for my disproportionate limbs.
weapons master: The other question is how to allow you to grip the sword right without thumbs.
fruit bat: I have strong fangs with a steady grip. You may design such an object that fits that way.
weapons master: Certainly that would make letting out a battlecry problematic, but as you wish.
fruit bat: I didn't quite think of that.. all the better to master the art of sneaking up on my enemies!

Project Manager: No no that is I think we should look at the ones that like where s where people said four where it looks like we might want to discuss changing an aspect of the remote
Marketing: I did not know how else to do it Well the worst ones were three point one Do does every ones have the slide ? Slide show Material technologically innovative do you want to change it ? What are the suggestions ? I do not know anyone ?
User Interface: Which one is that again sorry ? Three point one ?
Marketing: that it is three point one was not that good Four point one
Project Manager: See I am having I am having trouble imagining the is it going to be the size like the the controller ? It or bigger ?
Industrial Designer: I think the wheel would probably be mm
User Interface: What if we just smash all the vegetables down flat ? And like then it you could hold it in your hand better
Industrial Designer: I think the base would definitely be larger because some of these are not as easy to hold They are kind of smallish
Project Manager: No but I imagine even if it was bigger like if it is round and it is big then you you can not get that is why remote controls are long because you have that thumb kind of so c they could all be bananas and cucumbers but I do not s I I personally do not think this is comfortable to to sit there like it is an awkward position
User Interface: I did not But like if if you just squash them flat like and you made it flat
Industrial Designer: Well if they are that s stress ball stuff they would be pretty squishable Mm
User Interface: But it is still too big I think in your hand
Project Manager: And would it even resemble fruit that way ?
User Interface: like certain ones you would have to limit the fruit selection like you could probably do a strawberry still I think the broccoli would be out You could do although the broccoli is quite comfortable I have to say like sorta like a joystick
Project Manager: that I I when you were holding that before it actually looked
User Interface: I do not know So
Marketing: Are there any fruits that look like broccoli no ?
Industrial Designer: Not that I can think of Rhubarb
Marketing: I think that broccoli is my favourite actually
User Interface: I think we need not
Project Manager: What if the it was just patterns on like we we chose the shape or the sh shape could be whatever we wanted and then it would just be like a design on the rubber You know like like just a printed or coloured
Industrial Designer: So it is just colour and not necessarily the shape of a strawberry
Project Manager: Or I mean we could even have fruit like around But if we if we need
Marketing: and just have the colour match or something
Project Manager: And if we want to incorporate the fruit thing somehow there might be I mean if it if it in if it conflicts with the comfort of actually holdi holding the
User Interface: Because noone wants to hold a remote that is uncomfortable obviously Or like I do not know some of them you can kind of think see as like like you could if it was only this you know if it was shaped like that and it just had that But you see the problem is you have to attach that and this has to be detachable So like maybe that is just too big
Project Manager: Well see th the reason the broccoli works is you can kind of hold it like that which is a nice kind of
User Interface: it is sorta like a joystick
Project Manager: I mean is there some way we could make it this kind of shape ?
Industrial Designer: We could make it that shape but just have different colours and call them the different fruits We went with shape because we were having fun with the playdough
Project Manager: Or even like like you said like a joystick like that You know ?
User Interface: Like we could do I am trying to think of other sha like fruits that are oddly shaped
Project Manager: Because that I think I mean that fits the whole round iPod idea And you still have the comfort of holding it like that And you could like if it is like this you could put fruit designs and stuff on that part But I mean it do we have any other ideas about that ?
User Interface: We could tr I do not know
Marketing: Think the critical ones came out to be that one Batteries easy to insert for some reason which can be easily I think that is not a problem any more
Project Manager: The batteries are going in the back ?
Industrial Designer: That everyone gave that a one or a two they would probably be either on the front or the side of the remote
Project Manager: The reason I I ga I did not give it a one I think I gave it a three because I thought you would have to like unc clip
Industrial Designer: No I imagine there would be sort of a hatch door
Project Manager: no you could Just like any other one
Industrial Designer: like on a normal remote So it would probably either in the f no it can not be in the front because the IRs right there but it would be on one of the sides probably
Marketing: I think everyone is under three anyway So I think it is those are the only two points
User Interface: Cool Well the broccoli I guess wins
Industrial Designer: I would agree with changing the shape I was just having fun making strawberries and stuff
User Interface: We were a bit off task so I can not think of any So we will have to like Mm I do not know You could make the touch pad in th in different shapes but then that kind of redesigns the whole project like
Industrial Designer: It might also sort of annoy people if we get used to having the buttons in one shape
User Interface: but you could do like that is true
Project Manager: And it would probably cost more to produce because they are irregular
Industrial Designer: I bet having different colours is a lot cheaper than having different shapes too
Project Manager: Which is why printing might be like just printing the fruit on fruit | Project Manager suggested that the group might need to discuss changing an aspect of the remote. According to the previous evaluation, the worst one was material. Thus, the group gave suggestions on the smallish size, smashed or resembled fruit shape, and printed patterns on rubber design. The group also suggested changing batteries, but they ended up agreeing that there were no problems in battery design. |
