RT-03F Friday Discussions:Summary, Action Items, Schedule 15 November 2003
Tasks for RT-04 • SU: Like RT-03 plus four types • FWD: Like RT-03 plus three types • EWD: Like RT-03 • IPD: Like RT-03 • Diarization: BN-only, Reynolds leading team to write proposal to make it richer • SASTT: BN-only, like RT-03 • Individual sites may look at speaker characterization • 04RT: Following 03RT principles
Task Actions • Update eval plan secs 3 and 4 to implement RT-04 decisions made today – NIST (by 12/15/03) • Specification of primary vs. secondary measures (including implications for 04RT) • Leave placeholder for BN diarization • BN Diarization Proposal – Reynolds, et. al. • RT-A Task Proposal – Kubala, et. al.
MDE Data Prioritized Wish List for LDC(to be interleaved with STT needs, once we know costs) • New dev data annotation (by 3/04) • CTS: 3hrs of new calls consistent with STT • BN: Six shows consistent with STT 1. Old dev/eval data reannotation (by 3/04) • As/if required by minor updates to V5 spec • 6 BN shows, 72 CTS calls • Eval data annotation (by 9/04) • Selection consistent with dev data • Non-English annotation • Pilot: 10 min CTS and 10 min BN in both Arabic and Mandarin 2. Training data (by 6/04) • Up to another 60 hrs CTS (probably SWB), another 80 hrs BN (HUB4)
Other Data Actions • Possible hand-mark of diarization beg/end times for BN (Sue/Doug) • BN diarization re-release of spkrsegeval ref files (NIST) • V5 small mods (LDC, all) • Suggestions to LDC from sites due 12/1/03 • Initial LDC feedback due to mactech 12/15/03 • macears call (roughly 12/16/03) • V6 due to mactech 1/31/04 • Richer edit structure (Liz/Mari) • Pilot annotation, interannotator consistency, … • BN diarization data spec (Doug, Sue, et. al.) • Anything required beyond current annotations? • RT-A data spec (Francis, et. al.) • White paper, interannotator agreement, etc.
Tool Decisions & Actions • Downselect: At the Feb 2004 PI meeting, Charles will announce which of the two tool frameworks will be used in RT-04 • File formats: Francis and George will distribute short white papers by 12/1 with the pros and cons of the two approaches to data representation; sites will comment by 12/15. Charles will make a decision shortly thereafter. • Support: Both Francis and George agree to implement the changes required for the RT-04 tasks up until the downselection. Both will also fix bugs. • Scoring exclusion: Sue, Jon and Barbara will propose a better way for selecting various scoring exclusion methods (vs. “bulk” UEM approach) • AG conversion: Once Charles announces the official file format, NIST will provide and support a tool to convert AG to the official file format • Significance testing: NIST to look into it
Big Picture Schedule • Workshop in October • Evaluation in September • What guidelines should NIST consider w/r/t relative timing of MDE vs STT • All training data by June • All dev data by March • Tool and format decision by February • Annotation guidelines by end of Jan
Other Items • Hypothetical Spring MDE meeting • Purely a technical R&D meeting (like STT has done) • Update on new pilot initiatives? • Plan: At Lincoln in conjunction with HLT • Macears calls • As needed • First one mid-December (re V6)
