AND IT'S ALWAYS THE OTHER WAY AROUND THAT'S HOW YOU PUT IT ON OKAY I THINK THE THE MOST OF THE BAD WORDS ARE AT THE BEGINNING WHEN THE PEOPLE TRY TO PUT IN ON SO YOU START I THINK RIGHT HMM SO WE ALL ATTENDED INTERSPEECH NO YEAH SO WE ARE GOING TO TALK ABOUT THE PAPERS FROM INTERSPEECH THIS IS NOT A GOOD QUESTION I THINK ALL OF THEM OF COURSE ALL OF THEM OF COURSE UH YOU CAN'T ATTEND MULTIPLE SESSION AT THE SAME TIME SO THAT'S REALLY THAT'S REALLY YOUR SO ANY GENERAL IMPRESSION OR FEEDBACK SO F FOR ANY OF YOU IT'S A FIRST CONFERENCE OR MAYBE FOR NO I MEAN IN THE SENSE THAT IT'S UH INTERSPEECH IS REALLY BIG CONFERENCE FOR SPEECH SO DID YOU ATTEND BEFORE WELL GENEVA THAT'S WHY I'M HERE AT IDIAP BECAUSE I ATTENDED GENEVA EUROSPEECH HMM YEAH WE MET IN ALSO IN I. C. S. L. P. RIGHT THE FIRST TIME SO YEAH SO HOW HOW DID YOU LIKE THE CONFERENCE ANYWAY WHEN IN COMPARED TO TO TH THE OTHERS THE PREVIOUS ONE UH I THINK IT'S QUITE INTERESTING BUT ONLY ANNOYING THING IS THIS MULTIPLE SESSIONS AND MOST SOMETIMES YOU CAN'T ABLE TO GO TO ORAL TALK THIS ORAL PRESENTATIONS MOST OF THE TIME BECAUSE BECAUSE LIKE POSTERS IS YOU CAN SPEND A LOT OF TIME POSTERS LOOKING AT M MANY POSTERS THAN SITTING TWENTY MINUTES FOR ONE ORAL PRESENTATION SO IN T TWENTY MINUTES YOU CAN SEE AT LEAST TWO THREE POSTERS AND YOU CAN DIRECTLY TALK TO PEOPLE SO EVEN I FOUND LIKE UH VERY FEW PEOPLE IN SOME ORAL PRESENTATIONS I THINK MOST OF THE PEOPLE ARE LIKE THEIR OWN POSTERS ONLY OKAY SO YOU ATTENDED MOSTLY POSTERS I GUESS SO HOW MANY PRESENTATION YOU YOU YEAH I LIKED THE INVITED SPEAKER UM ABOUT THE IMPLANT IN THE EAR IT'S QUITE GOOD NO THE GUY YEAH UH HE'S VERY FAMOUS I THINK FOR THAT RIGHT HE'S THE THE INVENTOR OF THAT IMPLANT AND FOR FOR THE EAR I THINK YEAH EVEN SOME PANEL DISCUSSIONS ON THAT HUMAN SPEECH RECOGNITION REDUCING GAP BETWEEN THE A. S. R. AND AND H. S. R. IT WAS A BIT INTERESTING LOT OF ARGUMENTS AND MM YEAH B DIFFERENTLY IT'S MAINLY THE DIFFERENCES DIFFERENT APPROACHES OF ENGINEERS VERSUS LINGUISTS OR PHONETICIANS AND YEAH MM I REALISED IT WERE THAT THERE WERE PANEL DISCUSSIONS ONLY AT THE PLACE WHERE I COULD SEE THE THE T T YOU KNOW THERE WERE SOME BOARDS SAYING THAT THERE IS SOME PANEL DISCUSSION UH BUT I I COULDN'T GET NO ONE KNEW WHERE IS IT WHAT IT IS WHERE IT HAPPENS AND WHY AND SO FORTH IT WAS COM YEAH FINALLY I FOUND BUT HMM HMM NO QUITE GOOD UH A BIT HOT STILL BUT THE BEA THE BEACH NEARBY IS QUITE NICE YEAH YOU SHOULD TRY IT I DON'T KNOW DID YOU GO AROUND BEFORE OR AFTER YEAH OKAY WE WE WERE WE WERE SUPPOSED TO TAKE TAKE THE DIRECT ONE BUT WE DIDN'T YEAH I STAYED I STAYED TWO DAYS BEFORE SO UH I WENT YOU JU YOU JUST TAKE THE TRAIN MAYBE THAT'S THE SAME I'M NOT SURE TRAIN NORTH HALF AN HOUR TRAIN YEAH YEAH WEST OR NORTH I DON'T KNOW UH OKAY SO YOU STAYED AT THE AT THE SAME COAST NOT NOT YOU DIDN'T GO TO THE ISLAND CROSS THE RIVER WHERE WHERE IS THE BRIDGE AND AND THEN OKAY SO THAT WAS A DIFFERENT PLACE YEAH YEAH WITH HAMED UH HEMANT AND THESE PEOPLE HMM YEAH THE MORE SOUTH TO TH THE HOLE THROUGH THE WATER YEAH BUT I THINK LISBON THOSE DAYS ARE PRETTY GOOD LIKE SEEM TO ME QUITE NOT COLD BUT STILL OKAY LIKE REASONABLE YEAH EVEN LOCAL TRANSPORT IT'S IT'S BUT YEAH MOST OF THE TIME THE BUSES ARE REALLY CROWDED UH HUH YEAH I WAS NO LIKE I WAS VERY SURPRISED THAT EVEN THE TRAMS DID HAVE A A. C. THERE I COULDN'T SEE IT AT AT ALL YEAH R RIGHT BUT CAN YOU IMAGINE SOMETHING LIKE IN UH IT'S A. C. WELL IT IT WAS MUCH BETTER IF IF IF YOU WOULD HAVE TO SPEND A HOUR AND A HALF THAT UH HEMANT AND THE OTHERS SPENT WHILE GOING WITH A CA UH WITH A BUS TO TO THE CONFERENCE CENTRE FROM FROM THE THE HOTEL THAT WE WERE THERE WAS A DIRECT BUS AND IT TOOK THEM HOUR AND A HALF THEN MM YEAH IT'S WE CAN TAKE THE TRAM AND A TRAIN IT'S IT'S ALL CONDITIONED YEAH THE EASIEST WAY MM AH SORRY I DON'T REMEMBER THE NAME IS IT THERE YEAH I IT'S SUPPOSED TO BE THERE UH IT SOUNDS SOUNDS LIKE YEAH ORIGINALLY I BROUGHT IT BECAUSE I MARKED SOME PAPERS BUT YEAH ONL ONLY O ONE WHICH SURPRISED ME A BIT IT WAS UH SPEAKER RECOGNITION I THINK BUT IT DOESN'T REALLY MATTER THEY WERE TRYING TO MODEL UH UM COVARIANCE OF DIFFERENT COMPONENTS FOR G. M. M. INSTEAD OF USING A DIAGONAL BUT THEN IF YOU USE A FULL IT'S TOO MUCH SO THEY USE SOME APPROACH WHERE THEY TIE THEM AUTOMATICALLY AND UH AFTER THAT WELL IT'S MORE LIKE TYING IT IS STILL FULL BUT DIFFERENT UM COMPONENTS ARE TIED DIFFERENT COMPONENTS OF THE MATRIX ARE TIED UH-HUH EQUAL LIKE UH NO NO YOU HAVE TO STORE A MINIMUM NUMBER A REDUCED NUMBER OF PARAMETERS AND THEY ARE TIED IN A LINEAR WAY ACTUALLY SORRY NOT EQUAL BUT IT DOESN'T YEAH EXACTLY THAT'S IT UH SO THEY JU YEAH YEAH SHOULD TRY TO REDUCE SOME PARAMETERS BY TYING INTERESTING THING IS THAT THEY APPLIED IT ON SPEAKER RECOGNITION AND ON THE FEATURES BEFORE THEY HAD THREE DIFFERENT WAYS TO UM DECORRELATE THE FEATURES AND AND THIS THEY SHOWED IT UH WITHOUT THIS WITH DIAGONAL G. M. M. OR WITH THIS AND WITH THIS WITH UH SEMI TIED COVARIANCE MATRICES IT WAS A LESS MUCH LESS SENSITIVE TO UH WHICH UM DECORRELATION PROCEDURE YOU CHOOSE IF Y SO A A ALSO BETTER BUT OF COURSE IT DEPENDS ON THE NUMBER OF OF PARAMETERS YOU PUT IN YOUR TIE IN YEAH YEAH I I THINK I THINK IT WAS EVEN SLIGHTLY BETTER YEAH YEAH MAYBE I CAN FIND IT MAYBE DECORRELATION AGAIN THEY DO D. C. T. OR K. L. T. OR THEY DO THAT L. D. A. OR LIKE MAKE IT POSSIBLE TO USE UH A FULL COVARIANCE MATRIX YEAH BUT BUT THERE MUST BE THE SENSE RIGHT BECAUSE ONCE YOU DECORRELATE THE DATA THEN YOU DON'T NEED TO HAVE FULL I KNOW THAT'S SO THAT'S THAT MEANS THAT THE DECORRELATION IS NOT UH OPTIMAL RIGHT SO SO THAT'S THE REASON MM-HMM SO IT'S COMPLETELY IMPOSSIBLE TO DO IT WITH FULL COVARIANCE MATRIX WHY IT'S REALLY COMPUTATIONALLY REALLY UH YEAH SO SEE SUPPOSE IF THIRTY NINE IN TE THIRTY NINE TO THIRTY NINE FOR EVERY YEAH YEAH SO UH THERE IS A THING UH NO THERE THERE IS NOT YEAH RIGHT
