Question: Why did the team discuss the desired features of the new TV remote controls?
Answer: | There were two reasons. The first was that the unit price of each remote control was relatively high (twenty-five Euros). Therefore, in order to increase customers' willingness to spend so much money on one single remote control, the features must be satisfying and good enough. The second was the competition since there were other TV remote controls in the market. The new TV remote controls shall be special and different from the rest so as to attract customers. |

Question: Why did the team couldn't think of the satisfying size of the new TV remote controls?
Answer: | Industrial Designer pointed out that too many buttons would get the remote controls too big and clunky. However, a really small and slim one was very likely to be lost. The User Interface then proposed a PDA or hand-held kind of remote controls. Unfortunately, it was not friendly to the unit price. |

Question: Summarize the discussion about an interactive evaluation in terms of the user requiremnets and the hot trends.
Answer: | The group made an interactive evaluation of the remote control in terms of the user requirements and the trends. They mainly focused on the evaluation of price, fancy, color and energy. They picked another word, elegant, other than fancy to describe to design of the new remote control. The group failed to make a choice between the shape of banana and chunk, but they reached a consensus to use kinetic as the source of energy. |

Question: Summarize the whole meeting.
Answer: | After Project Manager first went over the previous meeting and summarized the meeting agenda, Inudstrial Designer started the prototype presentation of the remote control. The remote control should be curved with scroll and push buttons, made by smooth plastic or spongy rubber. Marketing presented the evaluation criteria of the remote control in terms of the user requirements and the trends. The remote control shall be fancy because it was heavily reliant on appearance instead of pure functionality. Finally, they confirmed the components they planned to use under the restrict of finance. |

Question: What was the structure of the Bayes-net discussed.
Answer: | The input layer deriving information from things like the user and situation models, feeds into a set of decision nodes, such as the Enter/View/Approach (EVA) endpoint. In any particular situation, most of the outputs will not be relevant to the given context. Therefore, they will either have to be pruned a posteriori, or only a subset of the possible decision nodes will be computed in each occasion. |

Answer: | Due to most outputs not being relevant to the given context, they will either have to be pruned a posteriori, or only a subset of the possible decision nodes will be computed in each occasion. The latter option could follow a binary search-tree approach and it could also be better in computational terms. In any case, on what basis the "winner" output is chosen is not clear. |

Question: How does the bayes-net deal with inputs?
Answer: | The presented Bayes-net takes inputs from the Situation, User, Discourse and Ontology models. There are several values (elements) defined in each of these models. The inputs are fed into the belief-net, which, in turn, outputs the posterior probabilities for the values of all the decision nodes. These comprise "Go-there", "EVA", "Info-on", "Location", "Timing", etc. At this stage, all the decision nodes are evenly weighted: regardless of the context, each output is trusted equally. Input and output node structure was presented in XML, as this is the format that will be used for the system. A large number of the value probabilities have already been set. |

Question: What was the status of the recording data?
Answer: | The first test set of digits is complete and includes 4,000 lines, each comprising between 1-10 digits. New digits forms were distributed for eliciting different prosodic groupings of numbers. New naming conventions were discussed as means for facilitating the sorting process. Existing files will be changed so that all filenames are of equal length. Similar changes will be made to speaker identification tags. Files will also contain information specifying channel, microphone, and broadcaster information. |

Question: What were the instructions for the transcribers?
Answer: | The transcribers should only code audible breaths within a grouping of words, and not outside regions of continuous speech. It was further determined that audible breaths are an important facet of recorded speech, and that removing them from the corpus would be contrary to the aims of the project. Speaker mn005 will prepare his results for detecting speaker overlap and present them in the next meeting. |

Question: What problems were encountered with transcriptions?
Answer: | Transcribers are likely to overlook backchannels in densely populated sections of speaker overlap. Speaker mn014 reported that this is also problematic for the automatic detection of speech and non-speech, as backchannels that are very short and not loud enough will inevitably be overlooked. Speaker mn005 reported problems distinguishing between possible harmonics and other frequency peaks, and creating an algorithm for obtaining the instantaneous frequency. The encoding of all audible breaths is too time-consuming. |

Question: What was the meeting about?
Answer: | The group talked about the status of the first test set of digits data, naming conventions for files, speaker identification tags, and encoding files with details about the recording. The group also discussed a proposal for a grant from the NSF's ITR (Information Technology Research) program, transcriptions, and efforts by speaker mn005 to detect speaker overlap using harmonicity-related features. Particular focus was paid to questions about transcription procedures, i.e. how to deal with overlooked backchannels, and audible breaths. |

Question: What is the main function of the remote?
Answer: | The main function is to only control the function of a television at a far off distance. The signal released from the remote through radio waves or infrared can change different functionalities in the television. There should be a timer to set for viewing a particular program or for switching on or off a particular program or lock the television to save electricity according to the user's choice. A child lock system should be added. |

Question: What were the other features of the remote mentioned in the discussion of functions of the remote?
Answer: | The buttons on the remote, installed with infrared bulbs, would be fluorescent whenever the TV is on, so users can find the remote even in the dark. Also, the buttons can glow differently according to different functions. The remote will beep if too many buttons are pressed at once. The team agreed to add a display clock, which can also be used as an alarm clock. The idea of having teletext and controlling electronic products of the whole house was rejected. |

Question: What did the team think about having buttons for multiple operations in the discussion of functions of the remote?
Answer: | Marketing said that there is a lot of argument to make one button for one feature because research results show that users complain about how hard it is to learn a new one. This idea might be suitable for people working with computers all the time but the elderly with an arthritic hand might find it difficult. User Interface suggested that it should have as many buttons as possible for controlling different functionalities and be in the shape of the letter T for more compatibility. |

Question: What is the product positioning of the remote?
Answer: | It would be an attractive impulse purchase which would be out in the market by September as a Christmas present of twenty five Euros. It would be for everybody who has a TV, mainly aged ten to forty. In the subgroups of the target group, there are elderly people who have limited functions with their fingers and hands and nervous people who cannot press a little button unless it is very clear. To make the remote sellable, it should be intuitive and easy to use in order to shorten the learning curve. It could be sold with a slogan. |

Question: What is the appearance of the remote?
Answer: | The corporate colour and design are recommended to be used on the product. The remote could be in different colours such as pink or banana yellow and shapes such as a fun shape like animal shapes or a comfortable shape that fits the hand but no sharp projections, lest a child plays with it. The idea of buttons with various shapes such as a triangle for volume and square for channels was considered. Everyone agreed that the text on the remote should be clear and the remote should be compact. |

Question: What are the main components and working design of the remote?
Answer: | The remote control would have a chip in the integrated circuit, taking power from the battery and transforming input from buttons through wires into infrared signals to electronic devices. There will be buttons and underneath them are switches and bulbs. To hold everything in, there should be a case and a remote holder. The material used for the remote should be human friendly so that it will not cause any skin disease or allergy to either children or adults.

Question: What did the team think of designing different remotes for different categories of people when discussing the working design of the remote?
Answer: | User Interface suggested adding specific functional buttons for children or the elderly or people with nervous problems. Industrial Designer replied that it wouldn't cost much. Project Manager suggested that they can make forty percent of the remotes with large buttons and regular buttons for the rest. To sum it up, if the budget permits, they can address some features for certain subgroups. |

Question: Summarize the whole meeting.
Answer: | The meeting started off with Marketing leading the discussion on product positioning of the remote, which was going to be an impulse purchase and certain requirements from management, such as the remote only controlling the television. Then, Industrial Designer shared the working design and main components of the remote. Also, they discussed functions that they would add to the remote such as a child lock and the appearance of the remote, such as having a comfortable shape and different colours. User Interface then raised some features that the remote ought to have such as having a timer. Finally, Project Manager stated their target group, which was people aged ten to forty, and they discussed how to cater to their needs, such as having large buttons for the elderly. |

Question: Summarize the meeting
Answer: | The team was setting up a new project in which they would record meetings and then generate summaries. The meeting began with introductions and a discussion of what kind of data the team could collect. They considered collecting visual data as well as notes. At the end of the meetings, the team wanted to ask participants to summarize what they took away as well as ask questions about the meeting. This would be a method for collecting more data to train a potential summarization model. One concern the team had was how they could reduce bias when collecting queries. Words like "important" could skew participant responses. The team also expressed some interest in collecting action items. Finally, the team discussed what each member should do to get the project up and running and the role of diversity in their data set. |

Question: What was said in the meeting?
Answer: | The group discussed the preparation of a data sample for IBM, the manual adjustment of time bins by transcribers, recognition results for a test set of digits data, and forced alignments. Participants also talked about Eurospeech 2001 submissions, and exchanged comments on the proceedings of the recently attended Human Language Technologies conference (HLT'01). Preliminary recognition results were presented for a subset of digits data. Efforts to deal with cross-talk and improve forced alignments for non-digits data were also discussed. |

Question: Summarize the discussion about voice-unvoice detection
Answer: | The existing net for voice-unvoice had three outputs, voice, unvoice, and silence. It took fifteen features as inputs. The team discussed how energy measures could be incorporated to improve performance on this task. The nets took around a day to train, so the team could run more experiments. The current performance on the task was unsatisfactory. |

Question: What did the professor think about improving voice-unvoice detection?
Answer: | The professor explained that the task typically relied on R-one over R-zero as a measure. He thought that the team should explore the difference between the log FFT and the log magnitude FF spectrum and the filter bank. These were fundamentally different measures which could help the model. |

Question: What did PhD D think about voice-unvoice detection?
Answer: | PhD D explained that voice-unvoice net took fifteen base features and three features of R as inputs. The R features were the variance of the difference between the two spectrums, variance of the auto-correlation function, and the first coefficient of the auto-correlation function. This method, however, was not that much better than the more typical method that the professor recalled. |

Question: Summarize the discussion on support vector machines to map MFCC to phonological features
Answer: | Support vector machines were better at dealing with a lower amount of data, so they could do a reasonable job learning patterns in MFCC without too much work. They worked by finding an optimal separating plane. This was more efficient as the model picked only critical points as opposed to doing more computationally expensive k-means clustering. |

Question: What did Grad A explain about his vectors for his support vector machine?
Answer: | Grad A explained that his vector contained binary values for whether a phonological feature exists or not. The goal was to come up with a mapping from a feature set to the existence of a particular phonological feature. He was not doing the mapping yet. The goal was simply detecting features at the time. |

Question: Summarize the meeting
Answer: | The meeting began with an update on the voice-unvoice detection. The professor suggested the solution might just be feeding the log magnitude of the spectrum into a simple neural net. The team then had a brief discussion about some confusing formula on the France Telecom proposal. Following this, the team talked about how to pick out the most important acoustic events. Then, Grad A introduced the team to phonological matchings that he was working on using Support Vector Machines. The goal was to map MFCC's to phonological features. The team concluded by discussing a potential bug which led to a significant difference between PLP and mel cepstrum and the FFT method that they were exploring. |

Question: Summarize the group discussion about finance and budget control.
Answer: | When the group found out that they came across a fairly tight budget, they cut the number of batteries from 2 to 1 and chose plastic as the cheapest case material supplement. But they still kept the advanced chip, LCD screen, and docking station, all of which they considered to be the strength of the product. After that, they touched on the button issue and realized that that was where the biggest cost driver hid. As a hurry solution, they quickly discarded the help and the mute button, replaced buttons for the program with a scroll-wheel, and removed a volume button and a channel button to reduce cost. |

Question: How did the group decide to reduce the cost of buttons?
Answer: | Firstly, when the group realized that cost was chiefly incurred by excessive buttons, they quickly decided to discard the help and the mute button. But then they found out that the primary cost drivers were 10 buttons for program numbers. To get rid of them, Project Manager boldly proposed replacing them with a scroll-wheel, which was finally accepted despite disputes over its unfriendly nature for elderly users. Also, the group agreed to remove a volume and a channel button by shifting the up-and-down function onto scroll-wheel and having radio buttons. |

Question: Why was Marketing discontent with all those changes made to buttons during the discussion about finance?
Answer: | First and foremost, Marketing believed that the elder generation expected to have ten buttons for the number one to zero, rather than a scroll-wheel with radio buttons, which would inevitably harm the usability. In this case, a lot of marketing would be required to convince elderly users, who were unfamiliar with fancy stuff like scroll-wheel at all. Additionally, he complained that the cost limit made it almost impossible to produce anything better than normal controls, and that he would not make those impelled changes if it was not for cost's sake. |

Question: During process evaluation, why did not Marketing agree that the meeting process was moving along the right phases?
Answer: | When it came to processing evaluation, though Industrial Designer appeared to think highly of Project Manager's arrangements, Marketing clearly voiced his dissent. as he explained, it is obvious that financial issues were touched on too late, making it imperative to further adjust to the final design during budget control. Project Manager himself admitted that there existed a lack of information about prices, which in fact led to a number of unrealistic dialogues about costly functions like recognition. |

Question: Summarize the whole meeting.
Answer: | The whole meeting was the final meeting of the project for discussion about the final design and project evaluation. Firstly, though Project Manager came late, he efficiently started the prototype presentation, during which Industrial Designer and User Interface presented the final design they worked out together. However, part of the features contained in their design, particularly too many buttons, were effectively rejected in the finance phase to reduce cost. Then, Marketing hosted the product evaluation and calculated a total score for their new remote control. After that, Project Manager guided the process evaluation and led the project to the closing phase. |

Question: How did Industrial Designer introduce the two prototypes of the remote control?
Answer: | Both the devices had the special shape, like the surf-board. The first prototype was a pretty simple design with LCD display and an on-off button in red. It was easy to use and could only be used for the TV mode. After all, the team concluded that it was a standard design except for its special shape that made it look adorable. On the contrary, the second prototype was advanced in its speech recognition function and looked like a fashion mobile phone. It came with six key buttons and one orange one for the microphone. If the user would like a speech recognition and a lot of information on the channel could be displayed directly on LCD display. Also, the components for the two designs were low in weight and there was LED to indicate the battery usage, making it convenient to use. To conclude, Marketing fancied the second one's size and shape. |

Question: How did Marketing design the product evaluation?
Answer: | Marketing recalled what the team had identified as being important to sell the product for both the devices and made a list of features from the marketing point of view. For both of the prototypes, Marketing asked the team to give one to seven points to each feature of the product and the lower the points the better the feature. For instance, look and feel, innovation and ease of use, were the three important components that Marketing wanted the team to discuss about. This might help with the conclusion whether the product was appealing to the correct demographic and incorporated the fashion trend into it. |

Question: What did the team discuss during the product evaluation?
Answer: | The team agreed that although the cover was movable, the case design was moderate. Also, the way the device could be held was not attractive and easy for all, since the left-handed people would choose to use it with the other hand, which made it really annoying. When it came to innovation, Industrial Designer believed basically there was no innovation in the first one compared to what existed in the market. However, the second design was extremely innovative as it had incorporated all the scrolling buttons and its automatic speech recognition function. Besides, the two products aimed at the target customers well, with the first standard one for the old group while the second one for those between twenty to forty five. Lastly, the team concluded that they had successfully answered the company's philosophy of having the fashion in electronics. |

Question: What did the team discuss about the product cost?
Answer: | The first design obviously met the requirements of the budget so the team focused on the second one to see whether the combination of the two designs could together form an innovative design but was under the budget at the same time. To cut costs, the Project Manager first suggested using normal chips only in exchange for the speech recognition function. The special color was left to the case and it was designed as curved on the sides and curved on the top and bottom as well. Later, the team had argued a lot whether to eliminate the number of buttons or to discard LCD displays. However, if the number of buttons were to be eliminated, it would be far more complicated to use the device, since users must press one button several times to get to the channel. After a vote and discussion about the cost, the team decided to discard both the LCD display and the speech recognition functions since they were really expensive and the later one could not work without the existence of the former one. |

Question: Summarize the whole meeting.
Answer: | Firstly, Industrial Designer introduced both the cheap one and the other, the expensive prototype of remote control based on the previous discussion of its function. Both the devices had the special shape, like the surf-board. The first prototype was a pretty simple design with LCD display and a conventional layout of buttons. The second prototype was advanced in its speech recognition function and looked like a fashion mobile phone. Secondly, Marketing designed an evaluation test, focusing on its look and feel, innovation and ease of use and the team were asked to give one to seven points to each feature of the product to compare the two prototypes. Thirdly, the team calculated the cost of both the prototypes and found that the second one had exceeded the budget to a great extent. As a result they discussed and voted a lot to discard the advanced functions and eliminate the number of the push buttons, which made the budget under control. |

Question: Summarize the presentation on Market Research and adjustments due to new project demands.
Answer: | Through market research, Marketing believed that the modern appearance of the remote control is important. Useless buttons can be combined or multi-functional remote control can be designed. Voice recognition function and positioning function are necessary. |

Question: What ideas did User Interface suggest when discussing market research and related adjustments?
Answer: | User Interface advocated to adjust to meet the needs of users from the perspective of technical function design. It is mainly user-centred, reducing buttons and making it easier to use. In addition, User Interface suggested that the general remote controller proposed by marketing will increase the budget and button, so the research should be stopped and focused on the remote control's appearance design. |

Question: What ideas did Industrial Designer suggest when discussing market research and related adjustments?
Answer: | Industrial Designer believed that the basic function of the remote control is to send messages to another system. The remote control needed an energy source to supply power to the integrated circuit, and had a chip and related information to control the infrared lamp. In the design, it can make the battery and infrared lamp cheaper and more sustainable. It can also add the design of speech recognition interface according to the market research provided by Marketing. |

Question: What views did Project Manager get from the last meeting review and market research?
Answer: | From the last meeting, Project Manager concluded that the team needed to design a modern, interesting, distinctive, sturdy, positioning remote control. In order to be distinctive, the team can adopt a spherical or keyboard shape design. Based on the market research, Project Manager thought that a rechargeable battery or solar cell is necessary, and the setting of the positioner and the reduction of button number is feasible. Project Manager wanted the remote control to be used only for TV, which can save the budget. For voice recognition, he thought it was unaffordable for young people, so the design was abandoned. |

Question: Summarize the team's discussion on the specific shape design of the remote control.
Answer: | The project manager thought that the shape of the remote control can be designed as a bone or cube to reduce the number of buttons, and add the company's yellow and grey color. Marketing believed that anti lost equipment can be designed. Since it's a one-handed project, Marketing proposed to design a special version for left-hand users. User Interface thought that the sphere is not suitable for one hand use, the rectangle variant can be used. The more important the button is, the bigger it is and the closer it is to the thumb for easy operation. |

Question: What detailed suggestions did Industrial Designer put forward when discussing the specific shape design of remote control?
Answer: | Industrial Designer proposed to design mouse-like click function and the scrolling function which is the simplest in technology. In addition, some small protuberances can be designed under the remote control, which is more convenient for users from the perspective of ergonomics, and the battery can be installed from the engineering point of view. He also proposed a two in one remote control. The small remote control has simple basic functions and is easy to carry. The large remote control is not easy to lose when it is fixed on furniture such as a sofa or table. |

Question: Summarize the whole meeting.
Answer: | First, the project manager briefly reviewed the last meeting. According to market research, Marketing suggested adopting modern appearance, reducing buttons, increasing positioning and voice recognition functions. From the perspective of technical function design, User Interface emphasized that the user should be the centre, reduce the buttons, focus on modifying the shape of the remote control, and do not waste the budget to design the universal remote controller. Industrial Designer had come up with the option of cheap and sustainable batteries, infrared lights and voice recognition technology. Industrial Designer also offered mouse-like scrolling and clicking functions, as well as specific remote control shapes. |

Question: Summarize the group discussion about the functional design.
Answer: | The group agreed that the remote should be fancy and easy to be hand-held. It should not be too small or too big in good shape. They agreed to bring new technologies and push toward the internet for young peoples. So they would use the wheel to navigate. Also regarding the budget, they had a new target price but it would be impossible to have LCD and automatic speech recognition technologies implementation. |

Question: What did group mates think of a universal design suggested by Industrial Designer?

Question: What did Project Manager think of the incorporation of an LCD or a speech recognition system in the remote control?
Answer: | Marketing mentioned that most of the young people to thirty years old were interested in this kind of technology. However, Project Manager updated him and group mates that head offices would like to restrict the remote control to TV only because of time limitations.

Question: What did Project Manager think of the scroll wheel suggested by User Interface?

Question: Summarize the discussion about speech recognition technology.
Answer: | User Interface thought that sometimes the speech recognition interrupted people when there was a dialogue on the TV program.

Project Manager was not keen on it because Project Manager was not confident they would have a product that was able to work. However, Marketing thought that the speech recognition technology would be cheaper than the LCD and people must buy it with twenty-five Euros. |

Question: Summarize the debate about the flaws in government`s pandemic relief program.
Answer: | The leader of the opposition party raised the point that some companies which had purchased other companies might not be eligible for the wage subsidy program, and money allocated for the wage subsidy was going unspent because the government had left in unnecessarily rigid barriers for companies to be able to access it. However, the Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Intergovernmental Affairs argued that the wage subsidy program was supposed to reach out to as many companies as possible, and the wage subsidy was really put in place by a large amount of money to protect workers across Canada. |

Question: How was the government going to deal with overwhelming federal debt?
Answer: | The minister placed assurance on coming out with a broader plan once the pandemic situation became more stable economically. At the same time, coming into this pandemic in a strong fiscal position with the lowest amount of debt among the G7 countries gave the government opportunities to invest on behalf of Canadians, and they would continue to take that approach. And the minister promised that there would not be higher taxes. |

Question: Summarize the whole meeting.
Answer: | It was a heated debate between the opposition party and the ministers. The members from the opposition parties first pointed out some flaws in the government's current measures in hoping to better implement them. However, some of their suggestions were either not adopted or avoided. The opposition party also addressed their concerns towards fiscal pressure, employment market and production of personal protective equipment in the midst of the pandemic. The ministers listed a roll of policies that was either already in place or going to be. Finally, the opposition party named a few industries in Canada such as agriculture, tourism and fishing that were struck seriously by the pandemic. The ministers promised that more financial support was coming in order to engineer Canada's economy. |

Can I ask Members if there are any declarations of interest, please? No. Okay, thank you. Item 2 this morning is our scrutiny session on Estyn's annual report 2018-19. I'm very pleased to welcome Meilyr Rowlands, Her Majesty's Chief Inspector, Estyn; Jassa Scott, strategic director at Estyn; and Claire Morgan, strategic director at Estyn. Thank you all for attending. We're looking forward to hearing what you've got to say. We'll go straight into questions from Suzy Davies. Suzy Davies AM: Bore da. Good morning, everybody. Thank you for the papers upfront, in which you say that the most striking feature of the education system, looking forward, of course is the curriculum and the change that that's bringing. How can we be sure that, during this period of change, standards don't slip? And also, from the point of view of scrutiny, will we be back in a situation where we're being told, 'You can't compare one set of results against the previous year's results, because of the nature of the change'? Meilyr Rowlands: Bore da, bawb. Thank you for the invitation to come here. I think that's a good question. I think any kind of major educational reform has got risks attached to it, particularly if those changes were made too quickly. I think this process of reform has been going on in the background for a few years now, so I think there is a track record of standards and provision not slipping. We've seen small incremental improvements. So, overall, I think we can be fairly confident that standards won't slip during this period of preparation. Suzy Davies AM: Can I just ask: is that based on your evidence around primary schools, where the sort of ethos that we've seen in the curriculum has been already articulated through the foundation phase? Meilyr Rowlands: The track record I'm talking about is across the board, so it's very difficult to think of anything
Question: Summarize the difficulties carrying out the curriculum reform faced by secondary school.
Answer: | First of all, although a number of primary schools have surplus funds, still a lot of secondary schools are in deficit and low on funds. Also recent years have seen a shortage of teachers with appropriate initial teacher training. There are concerns as well that schools in the bottom layer may find it difficult to adapt to the new curriculum and have little improvement on teaching quality. |

Question: What did Meilyr Rowlands think of the shortage of teachers?
Answer: | Meilyr Rowlands thought it was a challenge to recruit new teachers and improve the initial training.In the long term, he believed that education should become more attractive for young people and more mature people to go into, while in the short term, looking at initial teacher training would be the top priority. |

Question: What did Meilyr Rowlands say about the additional challenge for secondary schools?

Question: What did the group talk about the progress in numeracy skills?
Answer: | Meilyr Rowlands thought it was a fairly clear good news to see the improvements on the PISA results in maths, which could be attributed to the new GCSE mathematics numeracy.
