um , the next , um , thing we need to address is our financial department , to meet our our budget , um or not meet our budget but more , um , like what kind of , uh , selling range we'll be looking at , um , wanna make this um selling price of twenty five Euros. And so we have to , um , come up with a way to , to create a , a uh remote control , where um we can like the price to create it will be significantly less. Um , we'd like to , um to , uh , make fifty million Euro. I'm assuming that's what the M_ means. Um , and make it for an international market. Um , one thing we'd have to think about internationally is in the design of , um , like different kinds of , uh , V_C_R_s. Things like that , depending on which country you are. Another thing for the design team to think about. Um , we want it to cost , uh , absolute maximum of twelve Euro and fifty cents.
QMSum_92

Okay , so we'll have a hundred percent profit then ? Twelve fifty.
QMSum_92
false
I'm bad at math.
QMSum_92
false
Okay.
QMSum_92
false
'Kay. Um ,
QMSum_92
false
so now that , um , that is underway , um
QMSum_92
false
it is discussion time. So this is time for us to bring our initial ideas , any um suggestions that you may have so far , a um your personal experiences with remote controls , and um , um , areas you see that , uh , could be improved in your experience with them. Does anyone have any initial thoughts ?
QMSum_92
false
I find that in the dark it's often hard to know what button you're pushing.
QMSum_92
false
Mm-hmm. So what's something we could , uh , do to remedy that ?
QMSum_92
false
Okay.
QMSum_92
false
Um
QMSum_92
false
I always find that in our house the remote control always goes missing.
QMSum_92
false
It's always , where is the remote control ?
QMSum_92
false
Yeah.
QMSum_92
false
So maybe if you could have some kind of tracking device for the remote control or some signal that you could find out where it was.
QMSum_92
false
I dunno , some kind of alarm. You can press a button on your wall , signal ,
QMSum_92
false
Yeah. It's a great idea. It's a great idea.
QMSum_92
false
'cause it always gets lost.
QMSum_92
false
Do yous not find that , um , like , there's a lot of , um , buttons on your remote control , and you don't know what half of them do.
QMSum_92
false
Yeah.
QMSum_92
false
Mm-hmm.
QMSum_92
false
Yeah , that you don't use half of them.
QMSum_92
false
Yeah , I don't know what they do.
QMSum_92
false
Mm-hmm. There's some remote controls where there's kind of a hidden panel , so all those buttons that you don't really use unless you're programming or something.
QMSum_92
false
Yeah.
QMSum_92
false
Yeah , that's , that's
QMSum_92
false
That's useful.
QMSum_92
false
Yeah , it is. Yeah.
QMSum_92
false
So you just have like the number buttons , power button , T_V_ video button.
QMSum_92
false
Yeah.
QMSum_92
false
Yeah.
QMSum_92
false
Alright. Anything about , um , the look of the , uh , remote control that you might have ideas about. Maybe it could be , instead of like a standard rectangular shape , it could be , um , something more interesting like
QMSum_92
false
Any ideas will do that you have at this point.
QMSum_92
false
Mm.
QMSum_92
false
Could be shaped like a conch ,
QMSum_92
false
Can hold it.
QMSum_92
false
A novelty.
QMSum_92
false
you know. Be like a shell-shaped remote.
QMSum_92
false
Yeah.
QMSum_92
false
Are we going into kind of novelty factors here. Like , I've seen phones like a
QMSum_92
false
Well if it's a trendy original , um , aspect we're going for.
QMSum_92
false
Okay.
QMSum_92
false
I mean , you're the designers , you c , you can um decide what kind of , um , direction you wanna go in ,
QMSum_92
false
Yeah. Mm-hmm.
QMSum_92
false
Yeah.
QMSum_92
false
but at this point in the , in the first meeting it can be any ideas that we just throw out there.
QMSum_92
false
Yeah. I suppose , if we're he heading to have it , like make a huge profit out of this , it needs to be quite a universally accepted thing. Like , a novelty thing might only sell a few things rather than , like , a general kind of more acceptable
QMSum_92
false
Yeah.
QMSum_92
false
Mm-hmm.
QMSum_92
false
But we don't wanna go towards boring , 'cause that wouldn't sell either.
QMSum_92
false
Yeah.
QMSum_92
false
So , hmm.
QMSum_92
false
And the key issue here is , is being trendy and original. Um , that does not necessarily mean it needs to be outrageous.
QMSum_92
false
Yeah. Yeah.
QMSum_92
true
Right. Okay we have five minutes left. So , just to cover We have one more thing. Um , like you can go over your ideas , of course , in your own personal times. Um , our next meeting will be in half an hour.
QMSum_92
false
Yeah.
QMSum_92
false
So you have half an hour to , uh , think about what you want to present. Or not present but bring to the meeting. Um , I_D_ , whatever that stands for.
QMSum_92
false
Industrial Designer.
QMSum_92
false
Interface ?
QMSum_92
false
Industrial Designer.
QMSum_92
false
That's me.
QMSum_92
false
Oh , industrial.
QMSum_92
false
I have to remember these things. Um. You'll be beginning your , your working design.
QMSum_92
false
Mm-hmm.
QMSum_92
false
Um , U_I_D_ the technical functions design will , will be worked on the next thirty minutes. Um , maybe how this can be achieved , and , um , we need the user requirements from the manag Marketing Expert.
QMSum_92
false
Marketing Expert.
QMSum_92
false
Um , you will get specific instructions , um , of what to do in the next half an hour. And I'll see you in half an hour , okay ?
QMSum_92
false
Okay.
QMSum_92
false
'Kay.
QMSum_92
false
Thank you.
QMSum_92
false
Let 's see. Test ? Test ? Yeah. OK.
QMSum_86
false
Hello ?
QMSum_86
false
Channel one.
QMSum_86
false
Hello ?
QMSum_86
false
Test.
QMSum_86
false
I was saying Hynek 'll be here next week , uh , Wednesday through Friday uh , through Saturday , and , um , I won't be here Thursday and Friday. But my suggestion is that , uh , at least for this meeting , people should go ahead , uh , cuz Hynek will be here , and , you know , we don't have any Czech accent yet , uh , as far as I know , so There we go.
QMSum_86
false
OK.
QMSum_86
false
Um. So other than reading digits , what 's our agenda ?
QMSum_86
false
I don't really have , uh , anything new. Been working on Meeting Recorder stuff. So.
QMSum_86
false
OK. Um. Do you think that would be the case for next week also ? Or is is , uh ? What 's your projection on ?
QMSum_86
false
Um.
QMSum_86
false
Cuz the one thing the one thing that seems to me we really should try , if you hadn't tried it before , because it hadn't occurred to me it was sort of an obvious thing is , um , adjusting the , uh , sca the scaling and , uh , insertion penalty sorta stuff.
QMSum_86
false
I did play with that , actually , a little bit. Um. What happens is , uh , when you get to the noisy stuff , you start getting lots of insertions.
QMSum_86
false
Right.
QMSum_86
false
And , um , so I 've tried playing around a little bit with , um , the insertion penalties and things like that.
QMSum_86
false
Yeah.
QMSum_86
false
Um. I mean , it it didn't make a whole lot of difference. Like for the well - matched case , it seemed like it was pretty good. Um. I could do more playing with that , though. And , uh
QMSum_86
false
But you were looking at mel cepstrum.
QMSum_86
false
and see. Yes.
QMSum_86
false
Right.
QMSum_86
false
Oh , you 're talking about for th for our features.
QMSum_86
false
Right. So , I mean , i it it 's not the direction that you were working with that we were saying what 's the uh , what 's the best you can do with with mel cepstrum. But , they raised a very valid point ,
QMSum_86
false
Mmm.
QMSum_86
false
which , I guess So , to first order I mean , you have other things you were gonna do , but to first order , I would say that the conclusion is that if you , um , do , uh , some monkeying around with , uh , the exact HTK training and @ @ with , uh , you know , how many states and so forth , that it it doesn't particularly improve the performance. In other words , that even though it sounds pretty dumb , just applying the same number of states to everything , more or less , no matter what language , isn't so bad. Right ? And I guess you hadn't gotten to all the experiments you wanted to do with number of Gaussians ,
QMSum_86
false
Right.
QMSum_86
false
but , um , let 's just If we had to if we had to draw a conclusion on the information we have so far , we 'd say something like that. Right ?
QMSum_86
false
Mm - hmm.
QMSum_86
false
Uh , so the next question to ask , which is I think the one that that that Andreas was dre addressing himself to in the lunch meeting , is , um , we 're not supposed to adjust the back - end , but anybody using the system would.
QMSum_86
false
Yeah.
QMSum_86
false
So , if you were just adjusting the back - end , how much better would you do , uh , in noise ? Uh , because the language scaling and insertion penalties and so forth are probably set to be about right for mel cepstrum.
