Grad C: So and this actually turned out to be pretty key because having specified sort of these this this intermediate level and sort of noticing that everything that happens here let s go to our favorite endpoint one is again more or less we have then the situation nodes contributing to the the endpoint situation node which contributes to the endpoint and so forth I can now sort of draw straight lines from these to here meaning it g of course goes where the sub S everything that comes from situation everything that comes from user goes with the sub YOU and whatever we specify for the so called `` Keith node `` or the discourse what comes from the parser construction parser will contribute to the D and the ontology to the sub O node And one just s sort of has to watch which also final decision node so it does not make sense t to figure out whether he wants to enter view or approach an object if he never wants to go there in the first place But this makes the design thing fairly simple And now all w that s left to do then is the CPG s the conditional probabilities for the likelihood of a person having enough money actually wanting to go a place if it costs you know this or that And OK and once Bhaskara has finished his classwork that s where we are going to end up doing You get involved in that process too And And for now the the question is `` How much of these decisions do we want to build in explicitly into our data collection ? `` So one could sort of think of you know we could call the z see or you know people who visit the zoo we could s call it `` Visit the zoo tomorrow `` so we have an intention of seeing something but not now but later
Professor D: Right so let s s s see I th I think that from one point of view all these places are the same so that d d That in terms of the linguistics and stuff there may be a few different kinds of places so I th i it seems to me that We ought to decide you know what things are k are actually going to matter to us And so the zoo and the university and the castle et cetera are all big ish things that you know have different parts to them and one of them might be fine
Grad C: The the reason why we did it that way as a as a reminder is no person is going to do all of them They are just going to select you according to their preferences `` Ah I usually visit zoos or I usually visit castles or I usually `` And then you pick that one
Professor D: Right no no but but s th point is to to y to build a system that s got everything in it that might happen you do one thing T to build a system that had the most data on a relatively confined set of things you do something else And the speech people for example are going to do better if they if things come up repeatedly Now of course if everybody says exactly the same thing then it s not interesting So all I m saying is i th there s there s a kind of question of what we are trying t to accomplish and I think my temptation for the data gathering would be to you know And each person is only going to do it once so you do not have to worry about them being bored so if if it s one service one luxury item you know one big ish place and so forth and so on then my guess is that that the data is going to be easier to handle Now of course you have this I guess possible danger that somehow there are certain constructions that people use when talking about a museum that they would not talk about with a university and stuff but I guess I m I m my temptation is to go for simpler You know less variation But I do not know what other people think about this in terms of
Grad B: So I do not exactly understand like I I I guess we are trying to limit the detail of our ontology or types of places that someone could go right ? But who is it that has to care about this or what component of the system ?
Professor D: Oh well th I think there are two places where it comes up One is in the th these people who are going to take this and and try to do speech with it Lots of pronunciations of th of the same thing are going to give you better data than l you know a few pronunciations of lots more things
Grad B: So we would rather just ask have a bunch of people talk about the zoo and assume that that will that the constructions that they use there will give us everything we need to know about these sort of zoo castle whatever type things these bigger places
Professor D: Bigger Y thi well this is a question for
Grad B: And that way you get the speech data of people saying `` zoo `` over and over again or whatever too
Professor D: So this is a question for you and you know if we if we do and we probably will actually try to build a prototype probably we could get by with the prototype only handling a few of them anyway So
Grad C: the this was sort of these are all different sort of activities But I think y I I got the point and I think I like it We can do put them in a more hierarchical fashion So `` Go to place `` and then give them a choice you know either they are the symphony type or opera type or the tourist site guide type or the nightclub disco type person and they say `` this is on that `` go to big ish place `` | The team discussed that the organisation of the intermediate nodes of the belief-net and their properties is almost complete, although no conditional probabilities have been inserted yet.

preacher: "Ahh. What subjects should they be good at?"
nobel: Specific subjects do not matter. I am looking for a student of exceptional all-around intelligence but someone of lesser means.
preacher: "If I may ask, what do you need them for?"
nobel: If it be well with their parents, I will take them under my wing. They will receive the best of tutors and when the time comes an introduction to court.
preacher: "A very good cause! Prize worthy, even. Yes, there are a few students I can think of. How old should they be?"
nobel: Certainly old enough to leave mother but not so old as to be unteachable. Between eight and thirteen I would think. But then again, a quick mind is more important than this.
preacher: "Ah, yes. There's a young girl of about 10 that I think would fit perfectly. She learned how to read in only a few months and is quicker on arithmatic than students many years older than her."

Postdoc C: that s that s right but you know thi this brings me to the other f stage of this which I discussed with you earlier today which is the second stage is w what to do pause in terms of the transcribers adjustment of these data I discussed this with you too the tr so the idea initially was we would get for the new meetings so the e EDU meetings that Thilo ha has now presegmented all of them for us on a channel by channel basis And so I ve assigned I ve I ve assigned them to our transcribers and so far I ve discussed it with one with And I had a pause about an hour discussion with her about this yesterday we went through EDU one at some extent And it occurred to me that that basically what we have in this kind of a format is you could consider it as a staggered mixed file we had some discussion over the weekend a about at at this other meeting that we were all a at about whether the tran the IBM transcribers should hear a single channel audio or a mixed channel audio And in in a way by by having this this chunk and then the backchannel after it it s like a stagal staggered mixed channel And it occurred pause to me in my discussion with her yesterday that the pause the the maximal gain it s from the IBM pause people may be in long stretches of connected speech So it s basically a whole bunch of words which they can really do because of the continuity within that person s turn So what I m thinking and it may be that not all meetings will be good for this comment but but what I m thinking is that in the EDU meetings they tend to be driven by a couple of dominant speakers And if the chunked files focused on the dominant speakers then when when it got s patched together when it comes back from IBM we can add the backchannels It seems to me that you know the backchannels per se would not be so hard but then there s this question of the time pause comment marking and whether the beeps would be y y y And I m not exactly sure how that how that would work with the with the backchannels And so And certainly things that are intrusions of multiple words taken out of context and displaced in time from where they occurred that would be hard So m my thought is pause i I m having this transcriber go through the EDU one meeting and indicate a start time nonvocalsound f for each dominant speaker endpoi end time for each dominant speaker and the idea that these units would be generated for the dominant speakers and maybe not for the other channels
Grad A: the only disadvantage of that is then it s hard to use an automatic method to do that The advantage is that it s probably faster to do that than it is to use the automated method and correct it So We will just have to see
Postdoc C: OK I think I I think you know the original plan was that the transcriber would adjust the t the boundaries and all that for all the channels but you know that is so time consuming and since we have a bottleneck here we want to get IBM things that are usable s as soon as possible then this seemed to me it would be a way of gett to get them a flood of data which would be useful when it comes back to us And | Before that, the files will be automatically pre-segmented into speech/non-speech bins and the beeps will be inserted. |
