Professor B: And and also it s still true that I think it s true that that we we at least got fairly consistent i improved results by running the neural net transformation in parallel with the features rather than in sequence which was was your suggestion and that that that seems to have been borne out The fact that none of these are are you know enormous is is is not too surprising most improvements are not enormous and some of them are but I mean you have something really really wrong and you fix it you can get big and really enormous improvements but Cuz our best improvements over the years that we ve gotten from finding bugs but Anyway OK well I I think I see where we are and everybody knows what they are doing and is there is there anything else we should talk about or or are we done ?
PhD C: Mm I think it s OK We so basically we will I think we will try to to focus on these three architectures and and perhaps I was thinking also a fourth one with just just a single KLT because we did not really test that removing all these KLT s and putting one single KLT at the end
Professor B: I mean that would be pretty low maintenance to try it if you can fit it in Oh I have I do have one other piece of information which I should tell people outside of this group too I do not know if we are going to need it but Jeff up at the University of Washington has gotten a hold of a some kind of server farm of of ten multiprocessor IBM machines RS six thousands | PhD C thought that it would be worthwhile to test on a single KLT.

Llyr Gruffydd AM: Would that market be viable without any sort of subsidy if it were to develop bilingually ? Or do we have to accept that they have to have an element of public subsidy ?
Gareth Pierce: Our view in the WJEC is that subsidy will be necessary But we could rethink the model for the subsidy perhaps At the moment the subsidy is described as a subsidy for the Welshmedium version Why not rethink that and think of a subsidy for producing resources in two languages for the Welsh curriculum ?
