I should go back and look. I didn't I don't think that 's true.
QMSum_135
false
Yeah , OK.
QMSum_135
false
Mmm. He said the next phase 'll be very , competitive
QMSum_135
false
Very very ,
QMSum_135
false
because we didn't want to weed out much in the first phase.
QMSum_135
false
yeah. Yeah.
QMSum_135
false
Well we 'll have to see what the numbers are.
QMSum_135
false
Or something like that ,
QMSum_135
false
Mm - hmm.
QMSum_135
false
so.
QMSum_135
false
Hmm.
QMSum_135
false
Yeah. But they they have to weed out enough so that they have enough reviewers.
QMSum_135
false
Right.
QMSum_135
false
Yeah.
QMSum_135
false
So , uh , you know , maybe they didn't r weed out as much as usual , but it 's it 's usually a pretty But it Yeah. It 's it 's certainly not I 'm sure that it 's not down to one in two or something of what 's left.
QMSum_135
false
Right.
QMSum_135
false
I 'm sure it 's , you know
QMSum_135
false
How how many awards are there , do you know ?
QMSum_135
false
Well there 's different numbers of w awards for different size They have three size grants. This one there 's , um See the small ones are less than five hundred thousand total over three years and that they have a fair number of them. Um , and the large ones are , uh , boy , I forget , I think , more than , uh , more than a million and a half , more than two million or something like that. And and we 're in the middle middle category.
QMSum_135
false
Mm - hmm.
QMSum_135
false
I think we 're , uh , uh , I forget what it was. But , um Uh , I don't remember , but it 's pr probably along the li I I could be wrong on this yeah , but probably along the lines of fifteen or that they 'll fund , or twenty. I mean when they Do you do you know how many they funded when they f in in Chuck 's , that he got last year ?
QMSum_135
false
I don't I don't know.
QMSum_135
false
Yeah.
QMSum_135
false
I thought it was smaller , that it was like four or five , wasn't it ?
QMSum_135
false
Well they fund
QMSum_135
false
I I 'm
QMSum_135
false
they
QMSum_135
false
I don't remember.
QMSum_135
false
yeah. I mean
QMSum_135
false
Uh it doesn't matter , we 'll find out one way or another.
QMSum_135
false
Yeah. I mean last time I think they just had two categories , small and big ,
QMSum_135
false
Mm - hmm.
QMSum_135
false
and this time they came up with a middle one , so it 'll there 'll be more of them that they fund than of the big.
QMSum_135
false
If we end up getting this , um , what will it mean to ICSI in terms of , w wh where will the money go to , what would we be doing with it ?
QMSum_135
false
Uh.
QMSum_135
false
Exactly what we say in the proposal.
QMSum_135
false
I I mean uh which part is ICSI though.
QMSum_135
false
You know , it i None of it will go for those yachts that we 've talking about.
QMSum_135
false
I mean Dang !
QMSum_135
false
Um , well , no , I mean it 's u It
QMSum_135
false
It 's just for the research to continue the research on the Meeting Recorder stuff ?
QMSum_135
false
It 's extending the research , right ? Because the other
QMSum_135
false
Yeah.
QMSum_135
false
Yeah it 's go higher level stuff than we 've been talking about for Meeting Recorder.
QMSum_135
false
Yeah. Yeah the other things that we have , uh , been working on with , uh , the c with Communicator uh , especially with the newer things with the more acoustically - oriented things are are are are lower level. And , this is dealing with , uh , mapping on the level of of , um , the conversation of mapping the conversations
QMSum_135
false
Mm - hmm. Right , right.
QMSum_135
false
to different kind of planes. So. Um. But , um. So it 's all it 's all stuff that none none of us are doing right now , or none of us are funded for , so it 's so it 's it would be new.
QMSum_135
false
So assuming everybody 's completely busy now , it means we 're gonna hafta , hire more students , or , something ?
QMSum_135
false
Well there 's evenings , and there 's weekends , and Uh. Yeah , there there would be there would be new hires , and and there there would be expansion , but , also , there 's always for everybody there 's there 's always things that are dropping off , grants that are ending , or other things that are ending , so ,
QMSum_135
false
Right.
QMSum_135
false
there 's there 's a continual need to to bring in new things.
QMSum_135
false
Mm - hmm.
QMSum_135
false
Yep.
QMSum_135
false
Right.
QMSum_135
false
But but there definitely would be new new new , uh , students ,
QMSum_135
false
I see.
QMSum_135
false
and so forth , both at at UW and here.
QMSum_135
false
Are there any students in your class who are expressing interest ?
QMSum_135
false
Um , not clear yet. Not clear yet.
QMSum_135
false
Other than the one who 's already here.
QMSum_135
false
I mean we got we have yeah , two of them are two in the c There 're two in the class already here , and then and and , uh uh , then there 's a third who 's doing a project here , who , uh But he he he won't be in the country that long ,
QMSum_135
false
Mm - hmm.
QMSum_135
false
and , maybe another will end up.
QMSum_135
false
Yep.
QMSum_135
false
Actually there is one other guy who 's looking that that 's that guy , uh , Jeremy ? I think.
QMSum_135
false
Mm - hmm.
QMSum_135
false
Anyway , yeah that 's that 's all I was gonna say is that that that 's you know , that 's nice and we 're sorta preceding to the next step , and , it 'll mean some more work , uh , you know , in in March in getting the proposal out , and then , it 's , uh , you know We 'll see what happens. Uh , the last one was that you had there , was about naming ?
QMSum_135
false
Yep. It just , uh we 've been cutting up sound files , in for ba both digits and for , uh , doing recognition. And Liz had some suggestions on naming and it just brought up the whole issue that hasn't really been resolved about naming. So , uh , one thing she would like to have is for all the names to be the same length so that sorting is easier. Um ,
QMSum_135
false
Yeah.
QMSum_135
false
same number of characters so that when you 're sorting filenames you can easily extract out bits and pieces that you want. And that 's easy enough to do. And I don't think we have so many meetings that that 's a big deal just to change the names. So that means , uh , instead of calling it " MR one " , " MR two " , you 'd call it " MRM zero zero one " , " MRM zero zero two " , things like that. Just so that they 're they 're all the same length.
QMSum_135
false
But , you know , when you , do things like that you can always as long as you have uh , you can always search from the beginning or the end of the string.
QMSum_135
false
The problem is that they 're a lot of fields.
QMSum_135
false
You know , so " zero zero two "
QMSum_135
false
Alright ,
QMSum_135
false
Yeah.
QMSum_135
false
so we we have th we 're gonna have the speaker ID , the session , uh uh , information on the microphones ,
QMSum_135
false
Yeah , well , your example was really
QMSum_135
false
information on the speak on the channels and all that.
QMSum_135
false
Uh - huh.
QMSum_135
false
And so if each one of those is a fixed length , the sorting becomes a lot easier.
QMSum_135
false
OK.
QMSum_135
false
She wanted to keep them the same lengths across different meetings also. So like , the NSA meeting lengths , all filenames are gonna be the same length as the Meeting Recorder meeting names ?
QMSum_135
false
Yep. And as I said , the it 's we just don't have that many that that 's a big deal.
QMSum_135
false
Cuz of digits.
QMSum_135
false
And so , uh , um , at some point we have to sort of take a few days off , let the transcribers have a few days off , make sure no one 's touching the data and reorganize the file structures. And when we do that we can also rationalize some of the naming.
QMSum_135
false
I I would think though that the transcribe the transcripts themselves wouldn't need to have such lengthy names.
QMSum_135
false
Right.
QMSum_135
false
So , I mean , you 're dealing with a different domain there , and with start and end times and all that , and channels and stuff ,
QMSum_135
false
Right. So the only thing that would change with that is just the directory names ,
QMSum_135
false
so , it 's a different set.
QMSum_135
false
I would change them to match. So instead of being MR one it would be MRM zero zero one. But I don't think that 's a big deal.
QMSum_135
false
Fine. Fine.
QMSum_135
false
So for for m the meetings we were thinking about three letters and three numbers for meeting I Ds. Uh , for speakers , M or F and then three numbers , For , uh and , uh , that also brings up the point that we have to start assembling a speaker database so that we get those links back and forth and keep it consistent. Um , and then , uh , the microphone issues. We want some way of specifying , more than looking in the " key " file , what channel and what mike. What channel , what mike , and what broadcaster. Or I don't know how to s say it. So I mean with this one it 's this particular headset with this particular transmitter w as a wireless.
QMSum_135
false
Yeah.
QMSum_135
false
Yep.
QMSum_135
false
And you know that one is a different headset and different channel. And so we just need some naming conventions on that.
QMSum_135
false
Yeah.
QMSum_135
false
And , uh ,
QMSum_135
false
Uh - huh.
QMSum_135
false
that 's gonna become especially important once we start changing the microphone set - up. We have some new microphones that I 'd like to start trying out , um , once I test them. And then we 'll we 'll need to specify that somewhere. So I was just gonna do a fixed list of , uh , microphones and types.
