a favored knight: I certainly hope so, all this war and slaughter has gotten to me...
knight: I think the Generals may have noticed. That's why they sent you out here for a few weeks. What do you think these are good for?
a favored knight: We could try roasting them over the fire later.... I am getting hungry.
knight: Servant gather up some more of these so we can try and eat them later. Your always hungry. That's the thing with young knights they never stop eating.
a favored knight: Good to have him here to do the work for us!
knight: Well we are Knights. We must have a servant or page around to get anything done. Just putting this armor on by yourself is just about impossible. Anyways, do you know what kind of trees those are?
a favored knight: I have actually never seen those trees in my lifetime.... They look quite strange.
knight: I thought they might be new to you. They are palm trees and they only grow along the coast. Sometimes they have big round balls called coconuts. Crack them open and you can get a tasty drink.

#Person1#: There is an element there about competition then, isn't there? Because British railways are a nationalized industry. There's only one railway system in the country. If you don't like a particular kind of big beans, you can go and buy another. But if you don't like a particular railway, you can't go and use another.
#Person2#: Some people who write to me say this. They say that if you didn't have a monopoly, you wouldn't be able to do the things you do. Well, I don't think we do anything deliberately to upset our customers. We have particular problems. Since 1946, when the Transport Act came in, we were nationalized.
#Person1#: Do you think that's a good thing? Has it been a good thing for the railways, do you think, to be nationalized?
#Person2#: Oh I think so, yes. Because in general, modes of transport are all around. Let's face the fact. The car arrived. The car is here to stay. There is no question about that.
#Person1#: So what are you saying then? Is it if the railways happen being nationalized, they would simply have disappeared?
#Person2#: Oh, I think they would have. They're disappearing fast in America. Er, the French railways lose 1 billion pounds a year. The German railways, 2 billion pounds a year. But you see, those governments are preparing to pour money into the transport system to keep it going.
#Person1#: So in a sense, you cope between two extremes. On the one hand, you're trying not to lose too much money. And on the other hand, you've got to provide the best service.
#Person2#: Yes, you are right.
|
#Person2# thinks it is good for the railways to be nationalized because more and more cars appear and the railways gain less and less. #Person1# thinks what #Person2# copes is two extremes: trying not to lose too much money and providing the best services.

court jester: Oh, excellent! If he doesn't like it, perhaps he'll have you put an arrow through my head properly and have a laugh at that. Hm, I'll need something to fashion it to my head, won't I...
archer: Ask before you take Jester!
court jester: Don't take things so seriously, archer. I wasn't going to keep it, and besides, the walls are full of fresh strings. Perhaps a sense of humor could YOU some good. Have you ever told a joke?
archer: No. I'm dead on the inside. Archery is my only escape in this pitfall we call life.
court jester: Well. Ahem. Why don't you try one? I could help you.
archer: Please do. Tell me a joke.
court jester: No, I meant why don't YOU--alright, I'll tell one, I know a good dour one for a good dour person such as yourself. Here we are: what animal has more lives than a cat? Give me your best guess.

gardener: Yes I have! They had a reddish orange hue to them, unlike the others!
farmer: Well then I'm sure they will be highly sought after. Has the queen started on you about the roses yet this year? You know how she likes her prized rose garden to be just so.

PhD F: I was going to try to get out of here like in half an hour cuz I really appreciate people coming and the main thing that I was going to ask people to help with today is pause to give input on what kinds of database format we should pause use in starting to link up things like word transcripts and annotations of word transcripts so anything that transcribers or discourse coders or whatever put in the signal with time marks for like words and phone boundaries and all the stuff we get out of the forced alignments and the recognizer So we have this I think a starting point is clearly the the channelized pause output of Dave Gelbart s program which Don brought a copy of
Grad C: I m I m familiar with that I mean we I sort of already have developed an XML format for this sort of stuff
PhD D: Can I see it ?
Grad C: And so the only question is it the sort of thing that you want to use or not ? Have you looked at that ? I mean I had a web page up
PhD F: I actually mostly need to be able to link up or I it s it s a question both of what the representation is and
Grad C: You mean this I guess I am going to be standing up and drawing on the board
PhD F: OK So you should definitely
Grad C: so so it definitely had that as a concept So tha it has a single time line and then you can have lots of different sections each of which have I Ds attached to it and then you can refer from other sections to those I Ds if you want to So that so that you start with with a time line tag `` Time line `` And then you have a bunch of times I do not e I do not remember exactly what my notation was
PhD A: Oh I remember seeing an example of this
Grad C: `` T equals one point three two `` And then I I also had optional things like accuracy and then `` ID equals T one one seven `` And then nonvocalsound I also wanted to to be i to be able to not specify specifically what the time was and just have a stamp so these are arbitrary assigned by a program not not by a user So you have a whole bunch of those And then somewhere la further down you might have something like an utterance tag which has `` start equals T seventeen end equals T eighteen `` So what that s saying is we know it starts at this particular time We do not know when it ends Right ? But it ends at this T eighteen which may be somewhere else We say there s another utterance We do not know what the t time actually is but we know that it s the same time as this end time You know thirty eight whatever you want
PhD A: So you are essentially defining a lattice
Grad C: And then and then these also have I Ds Right ? So you could you could have some sort of other other tag later in the file that would be something like oh I do not know comment nonvocalsound `` noise type equals nonvocalsound door slam `` You know ? And then nonvocalsound you could either say `` time equals a particular time mark `` or you could do other sorts of references So or or you might have a prosody `` Prosody `` right ? D ? T ? D ? T ? T ?
PhD F: It s an O instead of an I but the D is good
Grad C: You like the D ? That s a good D you know so you could have some sort of type here and then you could have the utterance that it s referring to could be YOU seventeen or something like that
PhD F: OK So I mean that seems that seems g great for all of the encoding of things with time and I I guess my question is more what d what do you do with say a forced alignment ? I mean you ve got all these phone labels and what do you do if you just conceptually if you get transcriptions where the words are staying but the time boundaries are changing cuz you ve got a new recognition output or s sort of what s the sequence of going from the waveforms that stay the same the transcripts that may or may not change and then the utterance which where the time boundaries that may or may not change ?
PhD A: Oh that s That s actually very nicely handled here because you could you could all you would have to change is the time stamps in the time line without without changing the I Ds
PhD F: And you would be able to propagate all of the the information ?
Grad C: Right That s the who that s why you do that extra level of indirection So that you can just change the time line
PhD A: Except the time line is going to be huge If you say suppose you have a phone level alignment
PhD F: especially at the phone level
PhD A: You would have you would have
PhD F: The we we have phone level backtraces
Grad C: this I do not think I would do this for phone level I think for phone level you want to use some sort of binary representation because it will be too dense otherwise
PhD F: OK So if you were doing that and you had this sort of companion thing that gets called up for phone level what would that look like ?
Grad C: I would use just an existing an existing way of doing it
PhD A: Mmm But but why not use it for phone level ? It s just a matter of it s just a matter of it being bigger But if you have you know barring memory limitations or I w I mean this is still the m
Grad C: It s parsing limitations I do not want to have this text file that you have to read in the whole thing to do something very simple for
PhD A: Oh no You would use it only pause for pause purposes where you actually want the phone level information I would imagine
PhD F: So you could have some file that configures how much information you want in your in your XML or something
Grad C: Right I mean you would y I I am imagining you would have multiple versions of this depending on the information that you want
PhD F: cuz th it does get very bush with Right
Grad C: I m just what I m wondering is whether I think for word level this would be OK For word level it s alright For lower than word level you are talking about so much data that I just I do not know I do not know if that
|
C developed an XML format that links together utterances based on time tags, essentially creating a lattice. The XML format would be divided into many sections, each with its own ID and timeline tag. The XML format could be modified to deal with smaller linguistic units since that would only entail changing the timestamps. Despite being easy to use, the format was not efficient for smaller linguistic units, like phones. It would work for word units, at best.

carpenter: Oh that sounds amazing. All I've been eating is the slop from the dining hall

gardener: Fantastic - I couldn't be more pleased. I will have two bushels of fruits and vegetables ready for you in the morning with plenty more to come after that. I'll keep your family well-fed.
carpenter: My wife will be so happy. The kids will be able to grow up big and strong

craftsman: I have this chisel. it is a great tool, and can be used to etch designs.

priest: Have you considered entering a nunnery? You are so kind to us here, but perhaps you would like to find more meaning in your life? Saint Margaret's life may inspire you - here, this tome is yours.

priest: My dear, that is the beauty of forgiveness - not matter what sins you have committed in the past, we are all worthy of forgiveness in the eyes of the Lord. If you are honest in your desire to make amends for the sins you have committed, all will be forgiven, and as if born anew you renter the world without the chains of the past bearing on your conscience.

#Person1#: Hi, Natasha, how's life?
#Person2#: Great. My family came to visit me.
#Person1#: Oh, you must be very happy. How many people are there in your family?
#Person2#: My immediate family is very large. It's my mother, my father, my two older brothers, my younger sister and me.
#Person1#: I have a small family. They are my parents, my younger brother and me.
#Person2#: I thought you were the only child in the family. Didn't China practice the only-child policy in the early 1980s?
#Person1#: Yes, it did. But my parents are ethnic minority people. It's a preferential policy for an ethnic minority family to have two children.
#Person2#: Interesting. What do you think about families with only one child?
#Person1#: The child must feel very longly. My younger brother is 10 years younger than me. Before he was born, I used to be the only child and always dreamed that I would have a younger sister or brother one day.
#Person2#: Do you get along well with each other?
#Person1#: Yes, we are very close. He is 12 years old now and very smart. He always makes us laugh a lot.
#Person2#: You are very lucky to have such a nice family.
#Person1#: Thank you.

#Person1#: Good idea! I've heard that the Expo is doing pretty well now, and ads are seen everywhere in the country on all means of media, newspapers, TV, street signs, etc.
#Person2#: Yeah, it's the last world-wide horti-cultural exposition in the century, and one of the grand festivities of cross-century significance held by the China's tourism industry.
#Person1#: what's interesting to see there?
#Person2#: Oh, there's plenty. Flowers and plants from all over the world, of course. Besides, gardening techniques are demonstrated, modern facilities displayed, academic exchanges and seminars organized, and folk performances of different nations shown almost every day.
#Person1#: I visited the First International Flower Festival in the city last year, and was impressed with so many beautiful flowers!
#Person2#: Oh, can't compare with the Kunming Expo at all! The Kunming Expo covers an area of 218 hectares, and more than 9000 flower enterprises from over 100 countries and regions are invited to participate in the Expo.
#Person1#: It would be a rare occasion to be able to appreciate so many fine species of Chinese and foreign flowers fully blooming in one park!
#Person2#: Far more than that, I dare to say! Inland provinces and cities, Hong Kong and Macao, as well as many countries and regions in the world have an exhibition area of their own to display their unique flowers and plants. Each month there's a special day for a particular country or region, and folk performances are given. You will feel it a great pity if you missile Kunming Expo.

archer: And how would such a device work?
groundskeeper: Hey, are you trying to steal my idea? Stick to slinging arrows archer. You don't see me trying to shoot arrows, do you?
archer: No! I'm just curious how such a device would work! I may even invest in it with you!
groundskeeper: Oh, in that case. I tie a bucket to the horses tail and...nope, that's pretty much the whole idea.
archer: What if perhaps we decided to make it over the horses back?
groundskeeper: Perhaps, I have to be honest with you, the idea was really not mine. This rat deserves a lot of the credit.
archer: You talk to rats?! My God!

the groundskeeper who keeps the field clean and the grass trimmed for the archers who train.: One day i'll be a great archer like you.
archer: I dont know. It took me a very long time to master this. You also have to learn how to ride a horse and shoot to become a true master.

animal: Maybe something a bit more frightening? Every morning, right after breakfast, we love to frighten the villagers as the pass over us on the bridge!
butterfly: Hm...okay. Why don't you tell me more then so I can help!

Project Manager: It is called a weemote
Industrial Designer: Hey that is actually a brilliant marketing stand
Marketing: Wait what I w got in mind
Industrial Designer: So this actually basic the idea We we just want to build a more adult vers adult version of of this And and for colours we we figured starting with basic colours like white or metallic grey Those are the technological colours actually
User Interface: It would be best to to appeal to a broad public and make the covers exchangeable so the young people will buy an orange and a red and blue and a purple but when the o older people go in the shop and they see an orange remote control it would be less appealing than a white one And young people we think are a little bit more flexible they think ah I will buy for a couple of Euros some noi nice hip
Marketing: Maybe it is an idea to sell it without a cover so that you can pick a cover in the in the shop
User Interface: Well I think a cover is necessary because als otherwise you will just have the LCD screen So there must be some cheap standard cover maybe white or something that is could comes with it and you can buy so we can make extra money
Project Manager: but you d you must not forget that our target aim is younger people we had decided to put some flashy fruity colours in it and in the survey from Milan and Paris it it came out that the d the older people are more willing to to spend money on extra features So I think it will be a better idea to have some flashy fruity colours as as a standard

The user interface designer was trying to implement a more dynamic and youthful colour on the remote control. However, the designers did not want it to be too childish and stated their will to make it more of an adult-style. Thus they wanted to use metallic grey as the colour of the appearance, and make an extra cover with flashy fruity colours to attract the broader public. Since their target aim was still younger people, a cover would make them more flexible to change the remote control into whatever colour they wanted.
