Professor D: right Right it does not work So in a way that s you know that s sort of the dominant thing is that even say on the development set stuff that we saw the the numbers that that Alcatel was getting when choosing out the best single numbers it was just you know it was not good enough for for pause a a for a real system You you you So we still have stuff to do and I do not know So looking at the data where you know what s the what s what s th what s characteristic i e I think that s that s a good thing Does a any you have any thoughts about what else y you are thinking that you did not get to that you would like to do if you had more time ? PhD E: Oh f a lot of thing Because we trying a lot of s pause thing and we does not work we remove these Maybe we trying again with the articulatory feature I do not know exactly because we tried we some one experiment that does not work forgot it something pause I do not know exactly because tsk comment maybe do better some step the general eh diagram I do not know exactly s to think what we can improve Professor D: cuz a lot of time it s true there were a lot of times when we ve tried something and it did not work right away even though we had an intuition that there should be something there And so then we would just stop it And one of the things I do not remember the details on but I remember at some point when you were working with a second stream and you tried a low pass filtering to cepstrum in some case you got Well but it was comment an MESSAGE like thing but it was not MESSAGE right ? you y I think in some case you got some little improvement but it was you know sort of a small improvement and it was a a big added complication so you dropped it But that was just sort of one try right ? You just took one filter threw it there right ? And it seems to me that if that is an important idea which you know might be that one could work at it for a while as you are saying And and you had you know you had the multi band things also and you know there was issue of that Barry s going to be continuing working on multi band things as well We were just talking about some some work that we are interested in Kind of inspired by the stuff by Larry Saul with the pause learning articulatory feature in I think in the case of his paper with sonorance based on multi band information where you have a a combination of gradient learning an and THEM and pause so I think that you know this is a this is a neat data set and then as we mentioned before we also have the the new digit set coming up from recordings in this room So there s a lot of things to work with and what I like about it in a way is that the results are still so terrible pause pause I mean they are much better than they were you know We are talking about thirty to sixty percent error rate reduction That s that s really great stuff to to do that in relatively short time But even after that it s still you know so poor that that no one could really use it So I think that s great that because and y also because again it s not something sometimes we ve gotten terrible results by taking some data and artificially you know convolving it with some room response or something we take a very at one point Brian and I went downstairs into the the basement where it was it was in a hallway where it was very reverberant and we we made some recordings there And then we we made a simulation of the of the room acoustics there and and applied it to other things and But it was all pretty artificial and and you know how often would you really try to have your most crucial conversations in this very reverberant hallway ? pause So pause This is what s nice about the Aurora data and the data here is that is that it s sort of a realistic room situation pause acoustics acoustic situation both terms in noise and reflections and so on and n n And with something that s still relatively realistic it s still very very hard to do very well So PhD A: so d well Actually this is tha that s why we well it s a different kind of data We are not we are not used to work with this kind of data That s why we should have a loo more closer look at what s going on So this would be the first thing and then of course try to well kind of debug what was wrong eh when we do Aurora test on the MESSAGE pause particularly and on the multi band Professor D: No I I think there s lots of lots of good things to do with this So So let s I guess pause You were going to say something else ? Oh OK What do you think ? PhD C: About other experiments ? now I m interested in pause looking at the experiments where you use pause data from multiple languages to train the neural net And I do not know how far or if you guys even had a chance to try that but pause that would be some it would be interesting to me PhD A: Again it s the kind of of thing that we were thin thinking thinking that it would work but it did not work And eh so there is kind of of pause not a bug but something wrong in what we are doing perhaps something wrong perhaps in the just in the the fact that the labels are What worked best is the hand labeled data so I do not know if we can get some hand labeled data from other languages It s not so easy to find But pause that would be something interesting t to to see Professor D: Also I mean there was just the whole notion of having multiple nets that were trained on different data So one form of different data was is from different languages but the other Well i in fact m in those experiments it was not so much combining multiple nets it was a single net that had different So first thing is would it be better if they were multiple nets for some reason ? Second thing is never mind the different languages just having acoustic conditions rather than training them all up in one would it be helpful to have different ones ? So That was a question that was kind of raised by Mike Shire s thesis and on in that case in terms of reverberation Right ? That that sometimes it might be better to do that But I do not think we know for sure So Right So next week we will not meet because you will be in Europe Whe when are you two getting back ? PhD A: You on Friday or S on Saturday or pause ? PhD E: because it s it s less expensive the price the price the ticket Professor D: that s right You ve got to S have a Saturday overnight right ? PhD A: I will be back on Tuesday PhD C: Where where s the meeting ? Professor D: Yep pause So we will skip next week and we will meet two weeks from now And I guess the main topic will be you telling us what happened so well if we do not have an anything else to discuss we should turn off the machine and then say the real nasty things PhD C: Should we do digits first ? Professor D: Oh digits ! Good point good thinking Why do not you go ahead

The team gathered some ideas on how they could further improve the model, perhaps by focusing more so on MSG and multi-band. The professor iterated that the task was pretty hard, and their model was still not good enough for a real system. The team was generally excited about the Aurora data, as it was more realistic, and about further pursuing the task.
