E: Channel .
C: What channel am I on ?
C: Oh , channel two .
G: Make sure to turn your microphone on .
G: There 's a battery .
E: Channel .
B: There we go .
G: OK .
G: Your channel number 's already on this blank sheet .
B: Yeah .
G: So you just If you can F: Channel five ?
F: Channel five .
E: Channel whatever .
F: I 'm on channel five .
B: Camera one , camera two .
E: What am I ?
F: Little low ?
E: Channel four ?
F: Channel five .
E: This number four ?
F: Channel five .
E: OK .
F: OK .
G: The gai the gain 's up at it what it usually is ,
G: but if you think it 's F: Is it ?
G: Yeah . It 's sort of a default .
G: But I can set it higher if you like .
F: Oh .
F: Maybe it should be a little higher .
G: Yeah ?
F: It 's not showing much .
F: Test , test , test , test , test , test , test , test , test , test .
F: OK , that that seems better ?
F: Yeah ?
F: OK , good .
F: Ah , that 's good , that 's good .
F: That 's
F: Ahh . Mmm .
F: So I I had a question for Adam .
F: Have we started already ?
G: Well , we started recording , but Yeah .
F: Yeah .
F: Is Jane around
F: or ?
D: I saw her earlier .
F: Uh .
G: She can just walk in , I guess , or D: I think D: Yeah .
F: Right .
D: She 'll probably come up .
G: Since we 're starting late I figured we 'd better just start .
F: Yeah . Great idea .
F: I was gonna ask Adam to , uh , say if he thought anymore about the demo stuff
F: because it occurred to me that this is late May and the DARPA meeting is in mid July .
F: Uh , but I don't remember w what we F: I know that we were gonna do something with the transcriber interface is one thing ,
F: but I thought there was a second thing .
F: Anybody remember ?
G: Well , we were gonna do a mock - up , like , question answering or something , I thought ,
G: that was totally separate from the interface .
G: Do you remember ?
G: Remember , like , asking questions and retrieving , but in a pre - stored fashion .
F: Mm - hmm .
F: Right .
G: That was the thing we talked about , I think , before the transcriber G: Come on in .
F: Yeah .
F: Alright . So anyway , you have to sort out that out
F: and get somebody going on it
F: cuz we 're got a got a month left basically .
F: So .
G: You like these .
G: Right ?
G: OK , good .
F: OK .
F: Um
F: OK . So , what are we g else we got ?
F: You got you just wrote a bunch of stuff .
G: No . That was all , um , previously here .
F: Oh .
G: I was writing the digits and then I realized I could xerox them ,
F: Oh ,
F: oh .
G: because I didn't want people to turn their heads from these microphones .
G: So .
G: We all , by the way , have the same digit form , for the record .
G: So .
F: That 's cool .
G: Yeah .
F: So , the choice is , uh , which which do we want more , the the the comparison , uh , of everybody saying them at the same time or the comparison of people saying the same digits at different times that ?
G: It 's just cuz I didn't have any more digit sheets .
F: I know that .
G: So .
F: But , you know , which opportunity should we
G: Yeah .
C: Unison .
G: I mean , it Actually it might be good to have them separately and have the same exact strings .
F: exploit ? Unison .
G: I mean , we could use them for normalizing or something ,
G: but it of course goes more quickly doing them in unison .
F: I guess we 'll see
G: I don't know .
F: i I guess it 's dependent on
G: See how long we go .
F: how long we go and how good the snack is out there .
F: Yeah . Hmm . Get some advance intelligence .
E: But anyway , they won't be identical as somebody is saying zero in some sometimes , you know , saying O , and so , it 's not i not identical .
G: Right .
G: Right .
F: Yeah . We 'd have to train .
G: We 'd be like a chorus .
E: OK .
F: Yeah . We 'd have to get s get some experience .
C: Greek chorus .
B: Yeah .
G: Yes .
F: Yeah .
F: Really boring chorus .
F: Um . Do we have an agenda ?
F: Adam usually tries to put those together , but he 's ill .
D: I 've got a couple of things to talk about .
F: So .
F: Yeah .
F: Uh ju what what might those be ?
D: Uh , IBM stuff and , um , just getting uh , meeting information organized .
F: Meeting info organized .
F: OK .
F: Um .
C: Are you implying that it 's currently disorganized ?
D: In my mind .
F: Is there stuff that 's happened about , um , uh , the SRI recognizer et cetera ,
