# Why FLOSS in Science

For now, we list links and readings ... towards a full motivation .... A good exercise for learners would be to write an essay on this topic, and add a link to it here.
Learning activity: discuss why FLOSS should be used in science.
Transparency, replicability, verifiability, ....

# Why The Question

Human language is a very flexible tool that allows us to generate a seemingly endless series of questions about the world we find ourselves in. Some aspects of the universe are very well hidden from us, so if we are curious about the world then we are driven to keep asking questions that cannot be easily answered. Some people find it frustrating to be subjected to these circumstances and hope that there is a "foundation", an ultimate set of questions and answers that will provide an end to our questioning.
One modern incarnation of the desire for a solid foundation is found in attempts by physicists to devise a Theory of everything.
# Why cats present dead mice to their owners

Cat mentions their hunting behavior and speculates on the origin of their presenting behavior.
Paul Leyhausen proposed that cats adopt humans into their social group, and share excess kill with others in the group according to the local pecking order, in which humans are placed at or near the top. Another possibility is that presenting the kill might be a relic of a kitten's behavior of demonstrating for its mother's approval that it has developed the necessary skill for hunting.
I’ve[who?] developed the idea further. Humans frequently keep cats to kill vermin, notably mice. Presenting dead mice shows the owner that the cat is a good mouser. The owner is therefore more likely to keep the cat and other people will want kittens from it. This behavior may therefore help the cat to survive and reproduce. Over a sufficiently long time cats may evolve a tendency to present dead mice and rats but avoid presenting birds.

# University of Canberra/RCC2011/RecentChangesCamp Expanded/Sydney/notes

Notes from RCCx - made somewhat haphazardly (I find it hard to type and listen at the same time!) --Chriswaterguy 13:31, 14 April 2011 (UTC)
(Jutta talked before I started typing so this bit is rough...) Jutta spoke about her first wiki experience, about her current job which had "knowledge of wikis" as an optional extra thing her employers hoped for.
Nick Jenkins & Andrew Garrett talked about MediaWiki & bug-squashing.
Andrew & Jutta talked about wikis for clinical practice guidelines and for cancer research
Pending Changes (formerly FlaggedRevs) - the fundamental dilemmas (who can bless, who decides who can bless, do registered users & admins have their changes "auto-blessed"?), confusion and conflicting problems and
Isn't "screw the newbies" an official en.wikipedia policy?
Liam - learnt about open source through Wikipedia, ended up doing his thesis on Wikipedia.
Tim Rayner - "Coalition of the Willing" swarm approach to climate change. Working on cotw.cc, and part of the vision is a Green Knowledge Trust (a green Wikipedia).
Leigh Blackall - wikis in education. Advantages of using a public wiki on a tender - dialog started with the key party from an early stage because they could see when they were mentioned; this improved the quality of other tenders, which was positive as they were an altruistic project.
Alice from Cancer Council, works with literature searches. Cancer Council is working with a wiki to have more up-to-date info than a physical book. Jutta & Alice talked about tools/extensions/techniques for citations.
"Megawikis" - our new favorite word for the Wikimedia sites.
Liam: Prove-it gadget is available on Wikipedia.extension...?
Data wiki, & the idea of a centralized wiki for templates.
Funding that Wikimedia Foundation has received for specific work has issues, where there is a contractual requirement to implement something, and it turns out to (e.g.) not improve user experience.
Appropedia - funding issues the main current challenge.
Look of the wiki - wikifashion , perception that it needs to be beautiful - and it does look beautiful, but hard to see how to edit.
Matthew Clarke - Wiki Christian, vandalism issues (Andrew asked if they considered automated solutions) - corporate wikis -> open discussion, Liam mentioned that the US State Department put in a MediaWiki successfully, by pre-seeding the wiki, favoring the wiki in search results, and deprecating other platforms in support. #blog
Talk pages - Andrew: Make it easy to show appreciation for other people's posts...
Russian Wikipedia - rather than deleting, they move articles about Joe Blow's cat to a different "incubator" namespace.
Andrew: Rich text editing in MediaWiki is technically extremely difficult because of so many functions, from languages (Chinese, right-to-left languages...) to musical notation, mathematical functions, templates and parser functions. It's the Wikimedia Foundation's #1 priority, but it's a 3 year project.
Talked about future meetings - a regular monthly event?

# University of Canberra/RCC2011/The Bruce Declaration

Based on discussions the day before, a small group decided to have a go at drafting a declaration that could be used for submissions into public consultations regarding education in Australia. The group used the white board to brainstorm, will continue to use this MeetingWords to draft sentences and links, and is structuring the declaration on the Wikiversity project Workshop for Australian education policy.
# University of Canberra/RCC2011/RecentChangesCamp Expanded

One of the topics raised in the last session was participants in RCC taking the RCC 'home', allowing people who didn't attend to hear about the RCC topics first hand.
MarkDilley and Peter Kaminski have coined the term RecentChangesCamp Expanded (RCCx) for this, and Mark ran the first one in San Francisco.
The participants in RCC came from most states in Australia, so we are planning to organise similar RCCx in most capital cities. The only states and territories that were not represented are QLD and NT.
These RCCx events will only be an hour or two, providing a broad overview of the topics covered in the RCC, and zooming in on whatever RCC topics that the RCCx attendees would like to know more about.

# Speech Recognition/Telephone

Automated Speech Recognition (ASR) is now commonplace in the field of telephony. The main objective is to do the preprocessing of a structure support request by (ASR) or replace personell in a call center partially for standard structured workflows, e.g.
ASR becoming more widespread in the field of computer gaming and simulation. In telephony systems, ASR is now being predominantly used in contact centers by integrating it with IVR systems. Despite the high level of integration with word processing in general personal computing, in the field of document production, ASR has not seen the expected increases in use.
The improvement of mobile processor speeds has made speech recognition practical in smartphones. Speech is used mostly as a part of a user interface, for creating predefined or custom speech commands.

## Learing Tasks

* (Areas of Application) Identify application areas in telephony systems in which ASR can be applied and define areas of application that could create risks for the clients that use it (e.g. medical services)! What kind of validation of recognized speech is required for risk mitigation strategies?
* (OpenSource Telephony Server) Analyze the OpenSource Asterisk for integration of speech recognition? What are the challenges and requirements for the integration of Speech Recognition into an existing telephony infrastructure e.g. of educational services for students as a mixture of hotline and automated services driven by speech recognition.
* (Support Service Levels) Staff answering questions on the phone is a precious resource and people that must wait for answers get frustrated (especially during emergencies - analyze COVID-19 and the demand for advice at phone hotlines). Create a workflow that allows to identify steps in the workflow, that are performed prior to the contact to human staff members on the phone the reduce the workload for the clients/students and decreasing the waiting time for the clients/students until "somethings happens". Are there other use-cases that can support clients without the contact to human staff members on the phone?
# Speech Synthesis

In this learning resource we distinguish between Speech Synthesis for a text and the audio synthesis in general that incorporates more the creating an audio output for standard text e.g. in English.

## Learning Task

* Explain the benefit of Speech Synthesis for blind people. What are the requirements and constraints for web portal, so that for Speech Synthesis can be used for blind people and identify barriers e.g. if information is encoded in images, which can be used for text input for Speech Synthesis.
* Explain how Speech Synthesis and Speech Recognition in conjunction be used to reduced the required bandwidth for an audio transmission.
* A MIDI sequence defines which note was pressed, how long it was pressed and how hard you hit the key on a MIDI keyboard. Explain the similarities and difference between Speech Synthesis and Audio Synthesis from MIDI file with a General MIDI Soundfont (see Online Music Jam).
* Compare Speech Synthesis for the text input with an audio synthesis for a sequence of phonems, what are the benefits and drawbacks for the application in the context of Audio-Video-Compression.
# Speech Recognition/Dynamic Time Warping
## Introduction (DTW)-based speech recognition

Dynamic time warping is an approach that was historically used for speech recognition but has now largely been displaced by the more successful HMM-based approach.
Dynamic time warping is an algorithm for measuring similarity between two sequences that may vary in time or speed. For instance, similarities in walking patterns would be detected, even if in one video the person was walking slowly and if in another he or she were walking more quickly, or even if there were accelerations and deceleration during the course of one observation. DTW has been applied to video, audio, and graphics – indeed, any data that can be turned into a linear representation can be analyzed with DTW.
A well-known application has been automatic speech recognition, to cope with different speaking speeds. In general, it is a method that allows a computer to find an optimal match between two given sequences (e.g., time series) with certain restrictions. That is, the sequences are "warped" non-linearly to match each other. This sequence alignment method is often used in the context of hidden Markov models.

## Learning Task

* Explain why measuring similarity between two sequences that may vary in time or speed help to assign a recorded speech to the corresponding recognized text? What causes the variation in speech beyond medical causes like flu, cough, ...?
* To have a robust speech recognition beyond the variation of time, speed and pronuntiation is relevant for all speech recognition methods. Analyze if HMM have a better performance for the speech recognition task!

A throwback to a great fingerpicking song by the duo Seals and Crofts. Adventurous harmony, spiritual lyrics, very special song indeed.

### History

"Hummingbird" is a song by American soft rock duo Seals and Crofts, released as a single in 1973. It was the second single from their fourth studio album, Summer Breeze, the follow-up to the LP's title track.

# Music and Songwriting/The Songwriter's Grooves Project - A Guide to Singing and Playing Guitar/The Simple Strumming Song Series/Meet Virginia
## Meet Virginia - Train - Arr. Jon Michael Swift

Introductory Lesson Link
"Meet Virginia" was the song that introduced a lot of folks to the band Train. Though they'd go on to have many bigger songs like "Hey Soul Sister" this song is an enduring favorite in their repertoire. It has a subtle and intricate interaction of the band instruments, and thus lends itself to a lot of textural exploration. The lyrics are also have more depth than the average pop song, which make this song worth repeating so as to give it time to acquire some more developed deeper sophistication in the way that it's played. It thrives on subtle phrasing and a relaxed yet soulful vibe.

### History

It was released in October 1999 as the second single from their eponymous first album, Train. The song reached a peak of number 20 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart in January 2000,$^{[1]}$ becoming their first top 20 hit, and their first single to chart on the Hot 100. It also reached the Top 30 of Billboard's rock charts, Hot Mainstream Rock Tracks (number 21) and Alternative Songs (number 25). [[[w:Meet_Virginia|Wikipedia]]]
The song has been recorded live many times, but the mix of the original recording has exceptional transparency and is usually the best source for understanding how the song is put together.

### Flagship Recordings/Performances

Original Music Video - Has the guitar solo that is excised from the radio cut. The vocals on this are also much cleaner than most live versions.
Live at the Metro 1999 - Has some nice nice shots of the band playing and instrumental extensions on the intro.

### Playing tips

The most challenging and interesting part of this song is probably the guitar picking groove on the verses. For those who have not played guitar grooves with this kind of flat picking, the pick direction can really trip you up. It's worth a good hard look.

## In Your Atmosphere - John Mayer

A hidden gem in the John Mayer Repertoire. The song isn't very widely known, but Mayer fans know it as a favorite. It's also a bit of an enigma because of the mixture of techniques used to create this exotic groove. It's not as hard as it looks, but one should definitely be relaxed and receptive when learning this song, because most players won't find the mixture of techniques to be intuitive.
