Well , that 's the that was my my status report ,
QMSum_87
false
right ?
QMSum_87
false
You 've been working on that.
QMSum_87
false
Right , I mean Adam was
QMSum_87
false
Yeah.
QMSum_87
false
Yeah.
QMSum_87
false
so Once we 're done with this stuff discussing ,
QMSum_87
false
right. I mean , not as well as what I mean , you wouldn't be able to have any kind of typology , obviously ,
QMSum_87
false
Yeah.
QMSum_87
false
but you 'd get some rough statistics.
QMSum_87
false
Mm - hmm.
QMSum_87
false
So.
QMSum_87
false
But what what do you think about that ? Do you think that would be useful ? I 'm just thinking that as an action item of whether we should try to record some two - person meetings or something.
QMSum_87
false
I guess my my first comment was , um only that um we should n not attribute overlaps only to meetings , but maybe that 's obvious , maybe everybody knew that ,
QMSum_87
false
Yeah.
QMSum_87
false
but that in normal conversation with two people there 's an awful lot of the same kinds of overlap , and that it would be interesting to look at whether there are these kinds of constraints that Jane mentioned , that what maybe the additional people add to this competition that happens right after a turn ,
QMSum_87
false
Mm - hmm.
QMSum_87
false
you know , because now you can have five people trying to grab the turn , but pretty quickly there 're they back off and you go back to this sort of only one person at a time with one person interrupting at a time.
QMSum_87
false
Mm - hmm.
QMSum_87
false
So , I don't know. To answer your question I it I don't think it 's crucial to have controls but I think it 's worth recording all the meetings we can.
QMSum_87
false
Can.
QMSum_87
false
So , um you know.
QMSum_87
false
Well , OK.
QMSum_87
false
Yeah.
QMSum_87
false
I I have an idea.
QMSum_87
false
D I wouldn't not record a two - person meeting just because it only has two people.
QMSum_87
false
Right.
QMSum_87
false
Could we Could we , um we have have in the past and I think continue will continue to have a fair number of uh phone conference calls.
QMSum_87
false
Uh - huh.
QMSum_87
false
And , uh , and as a to , um as another c c comparison condition , we could um see what what what happens in terms of overlap , when you don't have visual contact.
QMSum_87
false
Yeah , we talked about this repeatedly.
QMSum_87
false
So , um
QMSum_87
false
Can we actually record ?
QMSum_87
false
It just seems like that 's a very different thing than what we 're doing.
QMSum_87
false
Uh Well , we 'll have to set up for it.
QMSum_87
false
I mean physically can we record the o the other
QMSum_87
false
Yeah. Well , we 're not really set up for it to do that. But.
QMSum_87
false
Or , this is getting a little extravagant , we could put up some kind of blinds or something to to remove , uh visual contact.
QMSum_87
false
Yeah.
QMSum_87
false
Yeah.
QMSum_87
false
Barriers !
QMSum_87
false
That 's what they did on Map Task , you know , this Map Task corpus ? They ran exactly the same pairs of people with and without visual cues and it 's quite interesting.
QMSum_87
false
Well , we we record this meeting so regularly it wouldn't be that I mean a little strange.
QMSum_87
false
OK , we can record , but no one can look at each other.
QMSum_87
false
Well , we could just put b blindfolds on.
QMSum_87
false
Yeah.
QMSum_87
false
Well y no you f
QMSum_87
false
Close your eyes.
QMSum_87
false
Blindf
QMSum_87
false
Yeah , Yeah.
QMSum_87
false
Turn off the lights.
QMSum_87
false
and we 'd take a picture of everybody sitting here with blindfolds. That would
QMSum_87
false
Oh , th that was the other thing , weren't we gonna take a picture at the beginning of each of these meetings ?
QMSum_87
false
Um , what I had thought we were gonna do is just take pictures of the whiteboards. rather than take pictures of the meeting.
QMSum_87
false
Well , linguistic
QMSum_87
false
And , uh
QMSum_87
false
Yes.
QMSum_87
false
Yeah. Linguistic anthropologists would would suggest it would be useful to also take a picture of the meeting.
QMSum_87
false
There 's a head nodding here vigorously , yeah.
QMSum_87
false
Why why do we want to have a picture of the meeting ?
QMSum_87
false
Ee - you mean , transc no
QMSum_87
false
The because you get then the spatial relationship of the speakers.
QMSum_87
false
Yeah Yeah.
QMSum_87
false
And that could be
QMSum_87
false
Well , you could do that by just noting on the enrollment sheet the the seat number.
QMSum_87
false
Yeah.
QMSum_87
false
Seat number , that 's a good idea. I 'll do that.
QMSum_87
false
Yeah.
QMSum_87
false
I 'll do that on the next set of forms.
QMSum_87
false
Yeah.
QMSum_87
false
So you 'd number them somehow.
QMSum_87
false
Is possible to get information from the rhythmic f from the ge , eh uh , files.
QMSum_87
false
I finally remembered to put , uh put native language on the newer forms.
QMSum_87
false
We can can't you figure it out from the mike number ?
QMSum_87
false
No.
QMSum_87
false
OK.
QMSum_87
false
The wireless ones. And even the jacks , I mean , I 'm sitting here and the jack is over in front of you.
QMSum_87
false
Oh.
QMSum_87
false
But probably from these you could 've infer it.
QMSum_87
false
Yeah , but It 's it would be trivial
QMSum_87
false
It would be another task.
QMSum_87
false
It would be a research task.
QMSum_87
false
Having having ground tu truth would be nice , so seat number would be good.
QMSum_87
false
You know where you could get it ?
QMSum_87
false
Yeah , yeah.
QMSum_87
false
Beam - forming during the digit uh stuff.
QMSum_87
false
Yeah.
QMSum_87
false
So I 'm gonna put little labels on all the chairs with the seat number.
QMSum_87
false
Mm - hmm.
QMSum_87
false
That 's a good idea.
QMSum_87
false
But you have to keep the chairs in the same pla like here.
QMSum_87
false
Not the chairs. The chairs are Chairs are movable.
QMSum_87
false
But , uh
QMSum_87
false
Put them Like , put them on the table where they
QMSum_87
false
The chair Yeah.
QMSum_87
false
Yep.
QMSum_87
false
Yeah.
QMSum_87
false
Yep.
QMSum_87
false
But you know , they the s the linguistic anthropologists would say it would be good to have a digital picture anyway ,
QMSum_87
false
Just remembered a joke.
