and maybe it 's not the best way to do it. But if he has some students that want to study that then they should sort of get to know the people and attend those meetings ,
QMSum_137
false
Mm - hmm.
QMSum_137
false
and get the notes from the note - taker or something.
QMSum_137
false
Right.
QMSum_137
false
Hmm.
QMSum_137
false
Well , I think that 's a little bit of a problem. Their sort of note - taking application stuff they 've been doing for the last couple of years , and I don't think anyone is still working on it.
QMSum_137
false
Yeah.
QMSum_137
false
I think they 're done. Um , so I 'm not sure that they have anyone currently working on notes. So what we 'd have to interest someone in is the combination of note and speech.
QMSum_137
false
Mm - hmm.
QMSum_137
false
And so the question is " is there such a person ? " And I think right now , the answer is " no ".
QMSum_137
false
Well
QMSum_137
false
I 've b been thinking
QMSum_137
false
We 'll just have to see.
QMSum_137
false
I 've been thinking about it a little bit here about the uh , th this , e um I think that the now I 'm thinking that the summary a summary , uh , is actually a reasonable , uh , bootstrap into this into what we 'd like to get at. It 's it 's not ideal , but we you know , we we have to get started someplace. So I was I was just thinking about , um , suppose we wanted to get w We have this collection of meeting. We have five hours of stuff. Uh , we get that transcribed. So now we have five hours of meetings and , uh , you ask me , uh , uh , " Morgan , what d you know , what kind of questions do you want to ask ? " Uh , I wouldn't have any idea what kind of questions I want to ask. I 'd have to get started someplace. So in fact if I looked at summary of it , I 'd go " oh , yeah , I was in that meeting , I remember that , um , what was the part that " And and th I think that might then help me to think of things even things that aren't listed in the summary , but just as a as a as a refresh of what the general thing was going on in the meeting.
QMSum_137
false
Mm - hmm.
QMSum_137
false
I think it serves two purpo purposes. One , as sort of a refresh to help bootstrap queries ,
QMSum_137
false
Mm - hmm. Yeah.
QMSum_137
false
but also , I mean , maybe we do want to generate summaries. And then it 's you know , it 's kind of a key.
QMSum_137
false
Well , yeah. That 's true too.
QMSum_137
false
Hmm.
QMSum_137
false
Yeah , absolutely. Then you want to have it.
QMSum_137
false
Uh
QMSum_137
false
So how does the summary get generated ?
QMSum_137
false
Well , i i ?
QMSum_137
false
I 'm not against the idea of a summary ,
QMSum_137
false
By hand.
QMSum_137
false
but I wanted to think carefully about who 's generating it
QMSum_137
false
Or , d o
QMSum_137
false
and how because the summary will drive the queries.
QMSum_137
false
What I I think , you know , in most meetings ,
QMSum_137
false
So
QMSum_137
false
this one being different , but in most meetings that I attend , there 's somebody t explicitly taking notes , frequently on a laptop Um , you can just make it be on a laptop ,
QMSum_137
false
Mm - hmm.
QMSum_137
false
so then yo you 're dealing with ASCII and not somebody you don't have to go through handwriting recognition. Um , and then they post - edit it into , uh , a summary and they email it out for minutes. I mean , that happens in most meetings.
QMSum_137
false
I I I think that , um , there 's we 're using " summary " in two different ways. So what you just described I would describe as " minutes ".
QMSum_137
false
Minutes.
QMSum_137
false
Right.
QMSum_137
false
Yeah.
QMSum_137
false
Yeah.
QMSum_137
false
And what I originally thought was , um , if you asked someone " what was the meeting about ? "
QMSum_137
false
OK.
QMSum_137
false
Hmm.
QMSum_137
false
And then they would say " well , we talked about this and then we talked about that , and so - and - so talked about " And then you 'd have , like I e My thought was to have multiple people summarize it , on recording rather than writing because writing takes time and you get irrelevant other things that u take time , that
QMSum_137
false
Mm - hmm.
QMSum_137
false
Whereas if you just say it immediately after the meeting , you know , a two - minute summary of what the meeting was about , I think you would get , uh , with mult See , I I also worry about having a single note - taker because that 's just one person 's perception. And , um , you know , it it 's releva it 's relative to what you 're focus was on that meeting ,
QMSum_137
false
Mm - hmm.
QMSum_137
false
and and people have different major topics that they 're interested in.
QMSum_137
false
So , my proposal would be that it may be worth considering both of those types , you know , the note - taking and a spontaneous oral summary afterwards ,
QMSum_137
false
OK.
QMSum_137
false
Yeah.
QMSum_137
false
no longer than two minutes ,
QMSum_137
false
Adam , you can
QMSum_137
false
from multiple people.
QMSum_137
false
you can correct me on this ,
QMSum_137
false
Yeah.
QMSum_137
false
but but , uh , my impression was that , uh , pretty much , uh , true that the meetings here , nobody sits with a w uh , with a laptop
QMSum_137
false
Never.
QMSum_137
false
and
QMSum_137
false
Never. I 've never seen it at ICSI. Does anyone ?
QMSum_137
false
Dan ?
QMSum_137
false
I mean , Dan is the one who who most frequently would take notes ,
QMSum_137
false
Yeah.
QMSum_137
false
and
QMSum_137
false
I 've d When we when we have other meetings. When I have meetings on the European projects , we have someone taking notes.
QMSum_137
false
Oh , really ?
QMSum_137
false
Yeah , but those are bigger deal things.
QMSum_137
false
In fact , I often do it.
QMSum_137
false
Right ? Where you 've got fifteen peo
QMSum_137
false
Yeah.
QMSum_137
false
I mean , most th this is one of the larger meetings. Most of the meetings we have are four or five people
QMSum_137
false
That 's true are four or five people.
QMSum_137
false
Yeah.
QMSum_137
false
and you 're not you don't have somebody sitting and taking minutes for it.
QMSum_137
false
Right.
QMSum_137
false
You just get together and talk about where you are.
QMSum_137
false
So , I think it depends on whether it 's a business meeting or a technical discussion.
QMSum_137
false
Culture.
QMSum_137
false
Yeah.
QMSum_137
false
And I agree ,
QMSum_137
false
Yeah.
QMSum_137
false
technical discussions you don't usually have somebody taking notes.
QMSum_137
false
Yeah. Yeah.
QMSum_137
false
The IRAM meeting , they they take notes every
QMSum_137
false
Do they ?
QMSum_137
false
There 's uh a person with a laptop at each meeting.
QMSum_137
false
How many people are those meetings ?
QMSum_137
false
There are more. I mean , there are ten - ish.
QMSum_137
false
Yeah.
QMSum_137
false
Y you should also have a record of what 's on the board.
QMSum_137
false
Yeah.
QMSum_137
false
They 're very sparse.
QMSum_137
false
I mean , I find it very hard to reconstruct what 's going on. I I don't know how
QMSum_137
false
Yeah. This is something early in the project we talked a lot about.
QMSum_137
false
I don't know how , but for instance , I mean , the outline is sort of up here and that 's what people are seeing. And if you have a Or you shou could tell people not to to use the boards. But there 's sort of this missing information otherwise.
QMSum_137
false
We sh we should
QMSum_137
false
I agree , but but you you just you g end up with video ,
QMSum_137
false
I agree.
QMSum_137
false
Well , I don't know.
QMSum_137
false
and and instrumented rooms. And that 's a different project , I think.
QMSum_137
false
f u I think for this data capture , it would be nice to have a digital camera
