So|IN I|PRP guess|VBP this|DT is|VBZ more|JJR or|CC less|RBR now|RB just|RB to|TO get|VB you|PRP up|RP to|TO date|NN ,|, Johno|NNP .|. 





This|DT is|VBZ what|WP ,|, uh|UH ,|, 
This|DT is|VBZ a|DT meeting|NN for|IN me|PRP .|. 
um|UH ,|, 
Eva|NNP ,|, 
Bhaskara|NNP ,|, and|CC I|PRP did|VBD .|. 
Did|VBD you|PRP add|VBP more|JJR stuff|NN to|TO it|PRP ?|. later|RB ?|. 

Um|NNP .|. Why|WRB ?|. 
Um|NNP .|. 

I|PRP do|VBP n't|RB know|VB .|. 
There|EX were|VBD ,|, like|IN ,|, the|DT -|- you|PRP know|VBP ,|, and|CC all|DT that|DT stuff|NN .|. But|CC .|. 
I|PRP thought|VBD you|PRP -|- you|PRP said|VBD you|PRP were|VBD adding|VBG stuff|NN but|CC I|PRP do|VBP n't|RB know|VB .|. 

Uh|NNP ,|, no|UH .|. This|DT is|VBZ -|- 

Um|NNP ,|, 
Ha|NNP !|. 
Very|RB nice|JJ .|. 
Um|NNP ,|, so|IN we|PRP thought|VBD that|DT ,|, 

We|PRP can|MD write|VB up|RB 
uh|UH ,|, 
an|DT element|NN ,|, 
and|CC -|- for|IN each|DT of|IN the|DT situation|NN 
nodes|NNS that|IN we|PRP observed|VBD in|IN the|DT Bayes|NNP -|- net|NN ?|. 
So|RB .|. 
What|WP 's|VBZ the|DT situation|NN like|IN at|IN the|DT entity|NN that|WDT is|VBZ mentioned|VBN ?|. if|IN we|PRP know|VBP anything|NN about|IN it|PRP ?|. Is|VBZ it|PRP under|IN construction|NN ?|. 
Or|CC is|VBZ it|PRP 
on|IN fire|NN or|CC something|NN happening|VBG to|TO it|PRP ?|. Or|CC is|VBZ it|PRP stable|JJ ?|. 
and|CC so|RB forth|RB ,|, going|VBG all|PDT the|DT way|NN 
um|UH ,|, 
f-|NN 
through|IN Parking|NNP ,|, 
Location|NNP ,|, Hotel|NNP ,|, Car|NNP ,|, Restroom|NNP ,|, 

Riots|NNP ,|, Fairs|NNP ,|, Strikes|NNS ,|, or|CC 
Disasters|NNS .|. 
So|RB is|VBZ -|- This|DT is|VBZ -|- A|DT situation|NN are|VBP -|- is|VBZ all|PDT the|DT things|NNS which|WDT can|MD be|VB happening|VBG right|RB now|RB ?|. 
Or|CC ,|, what|WP is|VBZ the|DT situation|NN 
type|NN ?|. 
That|DT 's|VBZ basically|RB just|RB specifying|VBG the|DT -|- the|DT input|NN for|IN the|DT -|- w-|NN what|WP 's|VBZ 
Oh|UH ,|, I|PRP see|VBP y-|NN Why|WRB are|VBP you|PRP specifying|VBG it|PRP in|IN X_M_L|NNP ?|. 
Um|NNP .|. 
Just|RB because|IN it|PRP forces|VBZ us|PRP to|TO be|VB specific|JJ about|IN the|DT values|NNS 
here|RB ?|. 
O_K|NNP .|. 
And|CC ,|, also|RB ,|, I|PRP mean|VBP ,|, this|DT is|VBZ a|SYM -|- what|WP the|DT input|NN is|VBZ going|VBG to|TO be|VB .|. Right|RB ?|. 
So|RB ,|, we|PRP will|MD ,|, uh|UH -|- 
This|DT is|VBZ a|DT schema|NN .|. This|DT is|VBZ -|- 
Well|RB ,|, yeah|UH .|. I|PRP just|RB do|VBP n't|RB know|VB if|IN this|DT is|VBZ th-|NN l-|NN what|WP the|DT -|- Does|VBZ -|- This|DT is|VBZ what|WP Java|NNP Bayes|NNP takes|VBZ ?|. as|IN a|DT 
No|DT ,|, because|IN I|PRP mean|VBP if|IN we|PRP -|- 
Bayes|NNP -|- net|NN spec|NN ?|. 
I|PRP mean|VBP we|PRP 're|VBP sure|JJ gonna|VBG interface|NN to|TO -|- 
We|PRP 're|VBP gonna|VBG get|VB an|DT X_M_L|NNP document|NN from|IN somewhere|RB .|. 
Right|RB ?|. And|CC that|IN X_M_L|NNP document|NN will|MD say|VB 
"|'' We|PRP are|VBP able|JJ to|TO -|- We|PRP were|VBD able|JJ to|TO observe|VB that|DT w-|NN the|DT element|NN ,|, 
um|UH ,|, of|IN the|DT Location|NNP that|IN the|DT car|NN is|VBZ near|IN .|. "|'' 
So|RB that|DT 's|VBZ gonna|VBG be|VB -|- 
Um|NNP .|. 
So|IN this|DT is|VBZ the|DT situational|NN context|NN ,|, everything|NN in|IN it|PRP .|. Is|VBZ that|IN what|WP Situation|NNP is|VBZ short|JJ for|IN ,|, shi-|NN situational|NN context|NN ?|. 
Yep|NNP .|. 
O_K|NNP .|. 
So|IN this|DT is|VBZ just|RB ,|, 
again|RB ,|, a-|NN an|DT X_M_L|NNP schemata|NN which|WDT defines|VBZ a|DT set|NN of|IN possible|JJ ,|, uh|UH ,|, permissible|JJ X_M_L|NNP 

structures|NNS ,|, 
which|WDT we|PRP view|VBP as|IN input|NN into|IN the|DT Bayes|NNP -|- net|NN .|. 
Right|RB ?|. 
And|CC then|RB we|PRP can|MD r-|NN uh|UH 
possibly|RB run|VB one|CD of|IN them|PRP uh|UH 
transformations|NNS ?|. 
That|DT put|NN it|PRP into|IN the|DT format|NN that|IN the|DT Bayes|NNP n-|NN or|CC Java|NNP Bayes|NNP or|CC whatever|WDT wants|VBZ ?|. 
Yea-|NNP Are|VBP you|PRP talking|VBG -|- are|VBP you|PRP talking|VBG about|IN the|DT -|- the|DT structure|NN ?|. 
Well|RB it|PRP -|- 
I|PRP mean|VBP when|WRB you|PRP observe|VBP a|DT node|NN .|. 
When|WRB you|PRP -|- when|WRB you|PRP say|VBP 
the|DT input|NN to|TO the|DT v-|NN Java|NNP Bayes|NNP ,|, 
Um-hmm|NNP .|. 
it|PRP takes|VBZ a|DT certain|JJ format|NN ,|, right|NN ?|. 
Which|WDT I|PRP do|VBP n't|RB think|VB is|VBZ this|DT .|. 
Although|IN I|PRP do|VBP n't|RB know|VB .|. 
No|DT ,|, it|PRP 's|VBZ certainly|RB not|RB this|DT .|. 
Nuh|NNP .|. 
So|IN you|PRP could|MD just|RB -|- Could|MD n't|RB you|PRP just|RB run|VBP a|SYM -|- 
X_S_L|NN .|. Yeah|UH .|. 
Yeah|UH .|. 
To|TO convert|VB it|PRP into|IN the|DT Java|NNP Bayes|NNP for-|NN format|NN ?|. 
Yep|NNP .|. 
O_K|NNP .|. 
That|DT 's|VBZ -|- 
That|DT 's|VBZ no|DT problem|NN ,|, but|RB 
I|PRP even|RB think|VBP that|IN ,|, um|UH -|- 
I|PRP mean|VBP ,|, once|RB -|- Once|RB you|PRP have|VBP this|DT sort|NN of|IN as|IN -|- running|VBG as|IN a|DT module|NN -|- 
Right|RB ?|. What|WP you|PRP want|VBP is|VBZ -|- 
You|PRP wanna|VBP say|VBP ,|, "|'' O_K|NNP ,|, give|VB me|PRP the|DT posterior|NN probabilities|NNS of|IN the|DT Go-there|NNP node|NN ,|, 
when|WRB this|DT is|VBZ happening|VBG .|. "|'' 
Right|RB ?|. When|WRB the|DT person|NN said|VBD this|DT ,|, the|DT car|NN is|VBZ there|RB ,|, it|PRP 's|VBZ raining|VBG ,|, and|CC this|DT is|VBZ happening|VBG .|. 
And|CC with|IN this|DT you|PRP can|MD specify|VB the|DT -|- what|WP 's|VBZ happening|VBG in|IN the|DT situation|NN ,|, and|CC what|WP 's|VBZ happening|VBG 
with|IN the|DT user|NN .|. 
So|IN we|PRP get|VBP -|- 
After|IN we|PRP are|VBP done|VBN ,|, through|IN the|DT Situation|NNP we|PRP get|VBP the|DT User|NNP Vector|NNP .|. 
So|RB ,|, this|DT is|VBZ a|SYM -|- 
So|IN this|DT is|VBZ just|RB a|DT specification|NN of|IN all|PDT the|DT possible|JJ inputs|NNS ?|. 
Yep|NNP .|. 
And|CC ,|, 
all|PDT the|DT possible|JJ outputs|NNS ,|, too|RB .|. 
O_K|NNP .|. 
So|RB ,|, we|PRP have|VBP ,|, um|UH ,|, 
for|IN example|NN ,|, the|DT ,|, uh|UH ,|, Go|VB -|- there|RB decision|NN node|NN 
which|WDT has|VBZ two|CD 
elements|NNS ,|, going|VBG -|- there|RB 
and|CC its|PRP$ posterior|NN probability|NN ,|, 
and|CC not|RB -|- going|VBG -|- there|RB and|CC its|PRP$ posterior|NN probability|NN ,|, 
because|IN the|DT output|NN is|VBZ always|RB gonna|VBG be|VB 
all|PDT the|DT decision|NN nodes|NNS and|CC all|PDT the|DT -|- the|DT -|- a-|NN all|PDT the|DT posterior|NN probabilities|NNS for|IN all|PDT the|DT values|NNS .|. 
And|CC then|RB we|PRP would|MD just|RB look|VB at|IN the|DT ,|, eh|NN ,|, Struct|NNP that|IN we|PRP wanna|VBP look|VB at|IN in|IN terms|NNS of|IN if|IN -|- if|IN we|PRP 're|VBP only|RB asking|VBG about|IN one|CD of|IN the|DT -|- 
So|RB like|IN ,|, if|IN I|PRP 'm|VBP just|RB interested|JJ in|IN the|DT going|VBG -|- there|RB node|NN ,|, 
I|PRP would|MD just|RB pull|VB that|DT information|NN out|IN of|IN the|DT Struct|NNP 
that|WDT gets|VBZ return-|NN that|WDT would|MD -|- that|IN Java|NNP Bayes|NNP would|MD output|NN ?|. 
Um|NNP ,|, 
pretty|RB much|JJ ,|, yes|UH ,|, but|RB 

I|PRP think|VBP it|PRP 's|VBZ a|DT little|JJ bit|NN more|RBR complex|JJ .|. 
As|IN ,|, if|IN I|PRP understand|VBP it|PRP correctly|RB ,|, it|PRP always|RB gives|VBZ you|PRP all|PDT the|DT posterior|NN probabilities|NNS for|IN all|PDT the|DT values|NNS of|IN all|DT decision|NN nodes|NNS .|. 
So|RB ,|, when|WRB we|PRP 
input|NN something|NN ,|, 
we|PRP always|RB get|VBP the|DT ,|, uh|UH ,|, posterior|NN probabilities|NNS for|IN all|DT of|IN these|DT .|. Right|RB ?|. 
O_K|NNP .|. 
So|RB there|EX is|VBZ no|DT way|NN of|IN telling|VBG it|PRP t-|NN -|- 
not|RB to|TO tell|VB us|PRP about|IN the|DT EVA|NNP values|NNS .|. 
Yeah|UH ,|, wait|VB I|PRP agree|VBP ,|, that|DT 's|VBZ -|- yeah|UH ,|, use|NN -|- oh|UH ,|, uh|UH Yeah|UH ,|, O_K|NNP .|. 
So|RB -|- so|IN we|PRP get|VBP this|DT whole|JJ 
list|NN of|IN -|- of|IN ,|, um|UH ,|, 
things|NNS ,|, and|CC the|DT question|NN is|VBZ 
what|WP to|TO do|VB with|IN it|PRP ,|, 
what|WP to|TO hand|VB on|IN ,|, 
how|WRB to|TO interpret|VB it|PRP ,|, 
in|IN a|DT sense|NN .|. 
So|RB y-|NN you|PRP said|VBD if|IN you|PRP -|- "|'' I|PRP 'm|VBP only|RB interested|JJ in|IN whether|IN he|PRP wants|VBZ to|TO go|VB there|EX or|CC not|RB "|'' ,|, then|RB I|PRP just|RB look|VBP at|IN that|DT node|NN ,|, 
look|VB which|WDT one|CD -|- 
Look|VB at|IN that|DT Struct|NNP in|IN the|DT output|NN ,|, right|NN ?|. 
Yep|NNP .|. 
Look|VB at|IN that|DT Struct|NNP in|IN the|DT -|- the|DT output|NN ,|, even|RB though|IN 
I|PRP would|MD n't|RB call|VB it|PRP a|DT "|'' Struct|NNP "|'' .|. But|CC .|. 
Well|RB i-|NN well|RB ,|, it|PRP 's|VBZ an|DT X_M_L|NNP Structure|NNP that|DT 's|VBZ being|VBG res-|NN returned|VBD ,|, right|NN ?|. 
Oh|UH .|. Mm-hmm|NNP .|. 
So|IN every|DT part|NN of|IN a|DT structure|NN is|VBZ a|DT "|'' Struct|NNP "|'' .|. 
Yeah|UH .|. 
Yeah|UH ,|, I|PRP just|RB uh|UH -|- I|PRP just|RB was|VBD -|- abbreviated|JJ it|PRP 
to|TO Struct|NNP in|IN my|PRP$ head|NN ,|, and|CC 

started|VBD going|VBG with|IN that|DT .|. 
That|DT element|NN or|CC object|VBP ,|, 
I|PRP would|MD say|VB .|. 
Not|RB a|DT C_Struct|NNP .|. That|DT 's|VBZ not|RB what|WP I|PRP was|VBD trying|VBG to|TO k-|NN though|IN yeah|UH .|. 
Yeah|UH .|. 
O_K|NNP .|. 
And|CC ,|, um|UH ,|, 
the|DT reason|NN is|VBZ -|- 
why|WRB I|PRP think|VBP it|PRP 's|VBZ a|DT little|JJ bit|NN more|RBR complex|JJ or|CC why|WRB -|- why|WRB we|PRP can|MD even|RB think|VB about|IN it|PRP as|IN an|DT interesting|JJ problem|NN in|IN and|CC of|IN itself|PRP is|VBZ -|- 
Um|NNP .|. 
So|RB .|. 
The|DT ,|, uh|UH -|- 
Let|VB 's|PRP look|VB at|IN an|DT example|NN .|. 
Well|RB ,|, w-|NN -|- would|MD n't|RB we|PRP just|RB take|VBP the|DT structure|NN that|WDT 's|VBZ outputted|JJ 
and|CC then|RB run|VB another|DT transformation|NN on|IN it|PRP ,|, that|WDT would|MD just|RB dump|VB the|DT one|CD that|IN we|PRP wanted|VBD out|RP ?|. 

Yeah|UH .|. w-|NN We|PRP 'd|MD need|VB to|TO prune|VB .|. 
Right|RB ?|. 

Throw|VB things|NNS away|RB .|. 
Well|RB ,|, actually|RB ,|, you|PRP do|VBP n't|RB even|RB need|VB to|TO do|VB that|DT with|IN X_M_L|NNP .|. D-|NNP Ca|NNP n't|RB you|PRP just|RB look|VBP at|IN one|CD specific|JJ -|- 
No-|NNP 

Yeah|UH ,|, exactly|RB .|. The|DT -|- 
Xerxes|NNP 
allows|VBZ you|PRP to|TO say|VB ,|, u-|NN "|'' Just|RB give|VB me|PRP the|DT value|NN of|IN that|DT ,|, and|CC that|IN ,|, and|CC that|DT .|. "|'' 
But|CC ,|, we|PRP do|VBP n't|RB really|RB know|VB what|WP we|PRP 're|VBP interested|JJ in|IN before|IN we|PRP look|VBP at|IN the|DT complete|JJ -|- at|IN -|- at|IN the|DT overall|JJ result|NN .|. 
So|IN the|DT person|NN said|VBD ,|, 
um|UH ,|, 
"|'' Where|WRB is|VBZ X_|NNP ?|. "|'' and|CC so|RB ,|, 

we|PRP want|VBP to|TO know|VB ,|, 
um|UH ,|, 
is|VBZ -|- Does|VBZ he|PRP want|VBP 
info|NN ?|. 
o-|NN on|IN this|DT ?|. or|CC know|VB the|DT location|NN ?|. 
Or|CC does|VBZ he|PRP want|VB to|TO go|VB there|RB ?|. 
Let|VB 's|PRP assume|VB this|DT is|VBZ our|PRP$ -|- our|PRP$ question|NN .|. 
Sure|RB .|. 
Nuh|NNP ?|. 
So|RB .|. 
Um|NNP .|. 

Do|VBP this|DT in|IN Perl|NNP .|. 

So|IN we|PRP get|VBP -|- 

O_K|NNP .|. 
Let|VB 's|PRP assume|VB this|DT is|VBZ the|DT output|NN .|. 
So|RB .|. 
We|PRP should|MD con-|NN be|VB able|JJ to|TO conclude|VB from|IN that|DT that|DT -|- 
I|PRP mean|VBP .|. It|PRP 's|VBZ always|RB gonna|VBG give|VB us|PRP a|DT value|NN of|IN 
how|WRB likely|JJ we|PRP think|VBP i-|NN it|PRP is|VBZ that|IN he|PRP wants|VBZ to|TO go|VB there|EX and|CC does|VBZ n't|RB want|VB to|TO go|VB there|RB ,|, 
or|CC how|WRB likely|JJ it|PRP is|VBZ that|IN he|PRP wants|VBZ to|TO 
get|VB information|NN .|. 
But|CC ,|, maybe|RB w-|NN we|PRP should|MD just|RB reverse|VB this|DT to|TO make|NN it|PRP a|DT little|JJ bit|NN more|RBR delicate|JJ .|. 
So|RB ,|, does|VBZ he|PRP wanna|VB know|VB where|WRB it|PRP is|VBZ ?|. or|CC does|VBZ he|PRP wanna|VB go|VB there|RB ?|. 
He|PRP wants|VBZ to|TO know|VB where|WRB it|PRP is|VBZ .|. 

Right|RB .|. 
I|PRP -|- I|PRP -|- I|PRP tend|VBP to|TO agree|VB .|. And|CC if|IN it|PRP 's|VBZ -|- 
If|IN -|- 
Well|RB now|RB ,|, y-|NN I|PRP mean|VBP ,|, you|PRP could|MD -|- 
And|CC i-|NN if|IN there|EX 's|VBZ sort|NN of|IN a|DT clear|JJ winner|NN here|RB ,|, 
and|CC ,|, um|UH -|- 
and|CC this|DT is|VBZ pretty|RB ,|, uh|UH -|- 
indifferent|JJ ,|, 




then|RB we|PRP -|- then|RB we|PRP might|MD conclude|VB that|IN he|PRP actually|RB wants|VBZ to|TO 
just|RB know|VB where|WRB ,|, uh|UH t-|NN uh|UH ,|, he|PRP does|VBZ want|VB to|TO go|VB there|RB .|. 
Uh|NNP ,|, out|IN of|IN curiosity|NN ,|, is|VBZ there|EX a|DT reason|NN why|WRB we|PRP would|MD n't|RB 
combine|VB 
these|DT three|CD nodes|NNS ?|. 
into|IN one|CD smaller|JJR subnet|NN ?|. 
that|DT would|MD just|RB 
basically|RB be|VB 
the|DT question|NN for|IN -|- We|PRP have|VBP "|'' where|WRB is|VBZ X_|NNP ?|. "|'' is|VBZ the|DT question|NN ,|, right|NN ?|. That|DT would|MD just|RB be|VB Info-on|NNP or|CC Location|NNP ?|. 
Based|VBN upon|IN -|- 
Or|CC Go|VB -|- there|RB .|. A|DT lot|NN of|IN people|NNS ask|VBP that|RB ,|, if|IN they|PRP actually|RB just|RB wanna|VBP go|VB there|RB .|. 
People|NNS come|VBP up|IN to|TO you|PRP on|IN campus|NN and|CC say|VB ,|, "|'' Where|WRB 's|VBZ the|DT library|NN ?|. "|'' 
You|PRP 're|VBP gonna|VBG say|VBP -|- y-|NN you|PRP 're|VBP gonna|VBG say|VBP ,|, g-|NN "|'' Go|VB down|RB that|DT way|NN .|. "|'' 
You|PRP 're|VBP not|RB gonna|VBG say|VB "|'' It|PRP 's|VBZ -|- It|PRP 's|VBZ five|CD hundred|CD yards|NNS away|RB from|IN you|PRP "|'' or|CC "|'' It|PRP 's|VBZ north|RB of|IN you|PRP "|'' ,|, or|CC -|- 
"|'' it|PRP 's|VBZ located|VBN -|- "|'' 
Well|RB ,|, I|PRP mean|VBP -|- But|CC the|DT -|- there|EX 's|VBZ -|- So|IN you|PRP just|RB have|VBP three|CD 
decisions|NNS for|IN the|DT final|JJ node|NN ,|, that|WDT would|MD link|VB thes-|NN these|DT three|CD nodes|NNS in|IN the|DT net|NN together|RB .|. 
Um|NNP .|. 
I|PRP do|VBP n't|RB know|VB whether|IN I|PRP understand|VBP what|WP you|PRP mean|VBP .|. But|CC .|. Again|RB ,|, in|IN this|DT -|- 
Given|VBN this|DT input|NN ,|, we|PRP ,|, also|RB in|IN some|DT situations|NNS ,|, may|MD wanna|VB 
postulate|NN an|DT opinion|NN whether|IN 
that|DT person|NN wants|VBZ to|TO go|VB there|EX now|RB 
the|DT nicest|NN way|NN ,|, use|NN a|DT cab|NN ,|, or|CC so|RB s-|NN 
wants|VBZ to|TO know|VB it|PRP -|- wants|VBZ to|TO know|VB where|WRB it|PRP is|VBZ because|IN he|PRP wants|VBZ something|NN fixed|VBN there|RB ,|, because|IN he|PRP wants|VBZ to|TO 
visit|NN t-|NN it|PRP or|CC whatever|WDT .|. 
So|RB ,|, it|PRP -|- n-|NN I|PRP mean|VBP -|- a-|NN All|DT I|PRP 'm|VBP saying|VBG is|VBZ ,|, 
whatever|WDT our|PRP$ input|NN is|VBZ ,|, we|PRP 're|VBP always|RB gonna|VBG get|VB the|DT full|JJ

And|CC some|DT -|- 
some|DT things|NNS 
will|MD always|RB be|VB sort|NN of|IN 
too|RB -|- not|RB significant|JJ enough|RB .|. 
Wha-|NNP 
Or|CC i-|NN or|CC i-|NN it|PRP 'll|MD be|VB tight|JJ .|. You|PRP wo|MD n't|RB -|- it|PRP 'll|MD be|VB hard|JJ to|TO decide|VB .|. But|CC I|PRP mean|VBP ,|, I|PRP guess|VBP -|- I|PRP guess|VBP the|DT thing|NN is|VBZ ,|, 
Yep|NNP .|. 
uh|UH ,|, 
this|DT is|VBZ another|DT ,|, smaller|JJR ,|, case|NN of|IN reasoning|NN in|IN the|DT case|NN of|IN an|DT uncertainty|NN ,|, which|WDT makes|VBZ me|PRP think|VBP Bayes|NNP -|- net|NN should|MD be|VB 
the|DT way|NN to|TO solve|VB 
these|DT things|NNS .|. So|RB if|IN you|PRP had|VBD -|- If|IN for|IN every|DT construction|NN ,|, right|NN ?|. 
Oh|UH !|. 
you|PRP could|MD say|VB ,|, "|'' Well|RB ,|, there|EX -|- Here|RB 's|VBZ the|DT Where-|NNP Is|VBZ construction|NN .|. "|'' 
And|CC for|IN the|DT Where|WRB -|- Is|VBZ construction|NN ,|, we|PRP know|VBP we|PRP need|VBP to|TO l-|NN look|NN at|IN this|DT node|NN ,|, 

that|IN merges|NNS these|DT three|CD things|NNS together|RB 
Mm-hmm|NNP .|. 
as|IN for|IN th-|NN to|TO decide|VB the|DT response|NN .|. And|CC since|IN we|PRP have|VBP a|DT finite|JJ number|NN of|IN constructions|NNS that|IN we|PRP can|MD deal|VB with|IN ,|, we|PRP could|MD have|VB a|DT finite|JJ number|NN of|IN nodes|NNS .|. 
O|NNP _|NN K.|NN 
Say|VB ,|, if|IN we|PRP had|VBD to|TO y-|NN deal|NN with|IN arbitrary|JJ language|NN ,|, it|PRP would|MD n't|RB make|VB any|DT sense|NN to|TO do|VB that|DT ,|, because|IN 
Mm-hmm|NNP .|. 
there|EX 'd|MD be|VB no|DT way|NN to|TO generate|VB the|DT nodes|NNS for|IN every|DT possible|JJ sentence|NN .|. 
Mm-hmm|NNP .|. 
But|CC since|IN we|PRP can|MD only|RB deal|VB with|IN a|DT finite|JJ amount|NN of|IN stuff|NN -|- 
So|RB ,|, basically|RB ,|, the|DT idea|NN is|VBZ to|TO f-|NN -|- 
to|TO feed|VB the|DT output|NN of|IN that|DT 

belief|NN -|- net|NN into|IN another|DT belief|NN -|- net|NN .|. 
Yeah|UH ,|, so|RB basically|RB take|VB these|DT three|CD things|NNS and|CC then|RB put|VB them|PRP into|IN another|DT belief|NN -|- net|NN .|. 
But|CC ,|, why|WRB -|- why|WRB -|- why|WRB only|RB those|DT three|CD ?|. Why|WRB not|RB the|DT whol-|NN 
Well|RB ,|, I|PRP mean|VBP ,|, d-|NN For|IN the|DT Where|WRB -|- Is|VBZ question|NN .|. 
So|IN we|PRP 'd|MD have|VB a|DT node|NN for|IN the|DT Where|WRB -|- Is|VBZ question|NN .|.

this|DT here|RB ,|,

The|DT different|JJ decision|NN nodes|NNS ,|, you|PRP mean|VBP ?|.

Like|IN -|- 
What|WP do|VBP you|PRP mean|VBP by|IN "|'' differently|RB weighted|JJ "|'' ?|. They|PRP do|VBP n't|RB feed|VB into|IN anything|NN really|RB anymore|RB .|.

If|IN we|PRP trusted|VBD the|DT Go|VB -|- there|RB node|NN more|JJR th-|NN much|RB more|JJR than|IN we|PRP trusted|VBD the|DT other|JJ ones|NNS ,|, then|RB we|PRP would|MD conclude|VB ,|, even|RB in|IN this|DT situation|NN ,|, that|IN he|PRP wanted|VBD to|TO go|VB there|RB .|.

O_K|NNP .|. Makes|NNP sense|NN .|. Yeah|UH .|. 
right|RB now|RB .|. 
So|RB the-|NN But|CC I|PRP guess|VBP the-|NN k-|NN the|DT question|NN -|- 
But|CC -|- 
that|IN I|PRP was|VBD as-|NN er-|NN wondering|VBG or|CC maybe|RB Robert|NNP was|VBD proposing|VBG to|TO me|PRP

How|WRB do|VBP we|PRP d-|NN make|VBP the|DT decision|NN on|IN -|- as|IN to|TO -|- which|WDT one|CD to|TO listen|VB to|TO ?|.

What|WP -|- what|WP we|PRP need|VBP is|VBZ a|SYM -|- just|RB a|DT mechanism|NN that|DT says|VBZ ,|,

And|CC then|RB ,|, so|RB ,|, the|DT only|JJ reason|NN -|- way|NN we|PRP would|MD know|VB what|WP question|NN he|PRP 's|VBZ asking|VBG is|VBZ based|VBN upon|IN -|- Oh|UH ,|, so|RB if|IN -|- Let|VB 's|POS say|NN I|PRP had|VBD a|DT construction|NN parser|NN ,|, and|CC I|PRP plug|VBP this|DT in|IN ,|, I|PRP would|MD know|VB what|WP each|DT construction|NN -|- the|DT communicative|JJ

Mm-hmm|NNP .|. 
and|CC so|RB then|RB I|PRP would|MD know|VB how|WRB to|TO weight|VB the|DT nodes|NNS appropriately|RB ,|, in|IN response|NN .|. 
So|IN no|DT matter|NN what|WP they|PRP said|VBD ,|, if|IN I|PRP could|MD map|VB it|PRP onto|IN a|DT Where|WRB -|- Is|VBZ construction|NN ,|,

I|PRP could|MD say|VB ,|, "|'' ah|NN !|.

Yeah|UH .|. 
Yes|UH ,|, I|PRP mean|VBP .|. Sure|RB .|. You|PRP do|VBP need|VBP to|TO know|VB -|- I|PRP mean|VBP ,|, to|TO have|VB that|DT kind|NN of|IN information|NN .|. 
Hmm|NNP .|. 
Yeah|UH ,|, I|PRP 'm|VBP also|RB agreeing|VBG that|DT a|DT simple|JJ

Take|VB the|DT ones|NNS where|WRB we|PRP have|VBP a|DT clear|JJ winner|NN .|.

Prune|NNP those|DT out|IN and|CC just|RB hand|VB over|IN the|DT ones|NNS where|WRB we|PRP have|VBP a|DT winner|NN .|. 
Yeah|UH ,|, because|IN that|DT would|MD be|VB the|DT easiest|JJS way|NN .|. 
We|PRP just|RB compose|NN as|IN an|DT output|NN an|DT X_M_L|NNP mes-|NN message|NN that|DT says|VBZ .|. 
"|'' Go|VB there|RB now|RB .|. "|'' 
"|'' Enter|VB

But|CC in|IN this|DT case|NN if|IN we|PRP say|VBP ,|, "|'' definitely|RB he|PRP does|VBZ n't|RB want|VB to|TO go|VB there|RB .|. He|PRP just|RB wants|VBZ to|TO know|VB

Now|RB ,|, the|DT e-|NN But|CC for|IN some|DT reason|NN the|DT Endpoint|NNP -|- Approach|NNP

We|PRP ca|MD n't|RB expect|VB this|DT to|TO be|VB sort|NN of|IN at|IN O|NNP _|NN point|NN

Somebody|NN needs|VBZ to|TO zap|NN that|DT .|. 
You|PRP know|VBP ?|.

So|RB then|RB ,|, 
the|DT Bayes|NNP -|- net|NN that|DT would|MD merge|VB 
there|RB ,|, that|WDT would|MD make|VB the|DT decision|NN between|IN Go|VB -|- there|RB ,|, Info|NN -|- on|IN ,|, and|CC Location|NNP ,|,

Yep|NNP .|. 
I|PRP mean|VBP ,|, it-|NN i-|NN 
Yep|NNP .|. 
Does|VBZ that|WDT make|VBP sense|NN ?|. 
Yep|NNP .|. It|PRP 's|VBZ sort|NN of|IN one|CD of|IN those|DT ,|, that|DT 's|VBZ -|- It|PRP 's|VBZ more|RBR like|IN a|DT decision|NN tree|NN ,|, 
if|IN -|- if|IN you|PRP want|VBP .|. 
You|PRP first|JJ look|NN o-|NN at|IN the|DT lowball|NN ones|NNS ,|, and|CC then|RB -|- 
Yeah|UH ,|, i-|NN 
Yeah|UH ,|, I|PRP did|VBD n't|RB intend|VB to|TO say|VB that|IN every|DT possible|JJ -|- O_K|NNP .|. 
There|EX was|VBD a|DT confusion|NN there|RB ,|, k-|NN I|PRP did|VBD n't|RB intend|VB to|TO say|VB every|DT possible|JJ thing|NN should|MD go|VB into|IN the|DT Bayes|NNP -|- net|NN ,|, because|IN some|DT of|IN the|DT things|NNS are|VBP n't|RB relevant|JJ in|IN the|DT Bayes|NNP -|- net|NN 
for|IN a|DT specific|JJ question|NN .|. 

Like|IN the|DT Endpoint|NNP 
is|VBZ not|RB necessarily|RB relevant|JJ in|IN the|DT Bayes|NNP -|- net|NN for|IN Where|WRB -|- Is|VBZ until|IN after|IN you|PRP 've|VBP decided|VBN whether|IN you|PRP wanna|VBP go|VB there|EX or|CC not|RB .|. 
Mm-hmm|NNP .|. 
Right|RB .|. 

Show|NNP us|PRP the|DT way|NN ,|, Bhaskara|NNP .|. 
I|PRP guess|VBP the|DT other|JJ thing|NN is|VBZ that|IN um|UH ,|, yeah|UH .|. I|PRP mean|VBP ,|, when|WRB you|PRP 're|VBP asked|VBN a|DT specific|JJ question|NN and|CC you|PRP do|VBP n't|RB even|RB -|- 
Like|IN ,|, if|IN you|PRP 're|VBP asked|VBN a|DT Where|WRB -|- question|NN ,|, you|PRP may|MD not|RB even|RB look|VB -|- like|IN ,|, ask|VB for|IN the|DT posterior|NN probability|NN of|IN the|DT ,|, uh|UH ,|, E_V_A|NNP node|NN ,|, right|NN ?|. 
Cuz|NNP ,|, that|DT 's|VBZ what|WP -|- I|PRP mean|VBP ,|, in|IN the|DT Bayes|NNP -|- net|NN you|PRP always|RB ask|VBP for|IN the|DT posterior|NN probability|NN of|IN a|DT specific|JJ node|NN .|. So|RB ,|, I|PRP mean|VBP ,|, 
you|PRP may|MD not|RB even|RB bother|VB to|TO compute|VB things|NNS you|PRP do|VBP n't|RB need|VB .|. 
Um|NNP .|. 
Are|VBP n't|RB we|PRP always|RB computing|VBG all|DT ?|. 
No.|NN 
You|PRP can|MD compute|VB ,|, uh|UH ,|, the|DT posterior|NN probability|NN of|IN one|CD subset|NN of|IN the|DT nodes|NNS ,|, given|VBN 
some|DT other|JJ nodes|NNS ,|, but|RB 
totally|RB ignore|VB some|DT other|JJ nodes|NNS ,|, also|RB .|. 
Basically|RB ,|, things|NNS you|PRP ignore|VBP get|VB marginalized|JJ over|IN .|. 
Yeah|UH ,|, but|CC that|DT 's|VBZ -|- that|DT 's|VBZ just|RB shifting|VBG the|DT problem|NN .|. 
Then|RB you|PRP would|MD have|VB to|TO make|VB a|DT decision|NN ,|, "|'' O_K|NNP ,|, if|IN it|PRP 's|VBZ a|DT Where|WRB -|- Is|VBZ question|NN ,|, which|WDT 
Yeah|UH .|. So|IN you|PRP have|VBP to|TO make|VB -|- 
Yeah|UH .|. 
decision|NN nodes|NNS do|VBP I|PRP query|NN ?|. "|'' 
Yes|UH .|. 
That|DT 's|VBZ un-|NN 
But|CC I|PRP would|MD think|VB that|DT 's|VBZ what|WP you|PRP want|VBP to|TO do|VB .|. Right|RB ?|. 
Mmm|NNP .|. 
Well|RB ,|, eventually|RB ,|, you|PRP still|RB have|VBP to|TO pick|VB out|IN which|WDT ones|NNS you|PRP look|VBP at|IN .|. So|IN it|PRP 's|VBZ pretty|RB much|RB the|DT same|JJ problem|NN ,|, is|VBZ n't|RB it|PRP ?|. 
Yeah|UH .|. 
Yeah|UH -|- it|PRP 's|VBZ -|- it|PRP 's|VBZ -|- it|PRP 's|VBZ apples|NNS and|CC oranges|NNS .|. Nuh|NNP ?|. 

I|PRP mean|VBP ,|, maybe|RB it|PRP does|VBZ make|VB a|DT difference|NN in|IN terms|NNS of|IN performance|NN ,|, 
computational|NN time|NN .|. So|RB either|RB you|PRP 
Mm-hmm|NNP .|. 
always|RB have|VBP it|PRP compute|VB all|PDT the|DT posterior|NN possibilities|NNS for|IN all|PDT the|DT values|NNS for|IN all|DT nodes|NNS ,|, and|CC then|RB prune|VB 
Mmm|NNP .|. 
the|DT ones|NNS you|PRP think|VBP that|DT are|VBP

or|CC you|PRP just|RB make|VBP a|DT p-|NN 

a|DT priori|FW 
estimate|NN of|IN what|WP you|PRP think|VBP might|MD be|VB relevant|JJ and|CC query|NN those|DT .|. 
Yeah|UH .|. 


So|RB basically|RB ,|, you|PRP 'd|MD have|VB a|DT decision|NN tree|NN query|NN ,|, Go|VB -|- there|RB .|. 

If|IN k-|NN if|IN that|DT 's|VBZ false|JJ ,|, query|NN this|DT one|CD .|. If|IN that|DT 's|VBZ true|JJ ,|, query|NN that|DT one|CD .|. And|CC just|RB basically|RB do|VBP a|DT binary|JJ search|NN through|IN the|DT -|- ?|. 
I|PRP do|VBP n't|RB know|VB if|IN it|PRP would|MD necessarily|RB be|VB that|RB ,|, uh|UH ,|, complicated|VBN .|. But|CC ,|, uh|UH -|- 
I|PRP mean|VBP ,|, it|PRP w-|NN 
Well|RB ,|, in|IN the|DT case|NN of|IN Go|VB -|- there|RB ,|, it|PRP would|MD be|VB .|. In|IN the|DT case|NN -|- Cuz|NNP if|IN you|PRP needed|VBD an-|NN If|IN y-|NN If|IN Go|VB -|- there|RB was|VBD true|JJ ,|, you|PRP 'd|MD wanna|VB know|VB what|WP endpoint|NN

either|CC Lo-|NNP Income|NNP Info|NN -|- on|IN or|CC History|NN .|. 
Yeah|UH .|. 
That|DT 's|VBZ true|JJ ,|, I|PRP guess|VBP .|. Yeah|UH ,|, so|RB ,|, in|IN a|DT way|NN you|PRP would|MD have|VB that|DT .|. 
Also|RB ,|, I|PRP 'm|VBP somewhat|RB boggled|JJ by|IN that|DT Hugin|NNP software|NN .|. 
O_K|NNP ,|, why|WRB 's|POS that|DT ?|. 
I|PRP ca|MD n't|RB figure|VB out|IN how|WRB to|TO get|VB the|DT

Mm-hmm|NNP .|. 
It|PRP 's|VBZ somewha-|NN It|PRP 's|VBZ boggling|VBG me|PRP .|. 
O_K|NNP .|.

Well|RB ,|, hopefully|RB it|PRP 's|VBZ fixable|JJ .|. 
Ju-|NNP 

Oh|UH yeah|UH ,|, yeah|UH .|. I|PRP d-|NN I|PRP just|RB think|VBP I|PRP have|VBP n't|RB 
It|PRP 's|VBZ -|- there|EX 's|VBZ a|SYM -|- 

figured|VBD out|IN what|WP -|- the|DT terms|NNS in|IN Hugin|NNP mean|VB ,|, versus|CC what|WP Java|NNP Bayes|NNP terms|NNS are|VBP .|. 

O_K|NNP .|. 

Um|NNP ,|, by|IN the|DT way|NN ,|, are|VBP -|- Do|VBP we|PRP know|VBP whether|IN Jerry|NNP and|CC Nancy|NNP are|VBP coming|VBG ?|. Or|CC -|- ?|. 
So|IN we|PRP can|MD figure|VB this|DT out|RP .|. 
They|PRP should|MD come|VB when|WRB they|PRP 're|VBP done|VBN their|PRP$ stuff|NN ,|, basically|RB ,|, whenever|WRB that|DT is|VBZ .|. 
So|RB .|. 
What|WP d-|NN what|WP do|VBP they|PRP need|VBP to|TO do|VB left|VBN ?|. 
Um|NNP ,|, 
I|PRP guess|VBP ,|, 
Jerry|NNP needs|VBZ to|TO enter|VB marks|NNS ,|, but|CC I|PRP do|VBP n't|RB know|VB if|IN he|PRP 's|VBZ gonna|VBG do|VBP that|DT now|RB or|CC later|RB .|. 
But|CC ,|, uh|UH ,|, if|IN he|PRP 's|VBZ gonna|VBG enter|VB marks|NNS ,|, it|PRP 's|VBZ gonna|VBG take|NN him|PRP awhile|RB ,|, I|PRP guess|VBP ,|, and|CC he|PRP wo|MD n't|RB be|VB here|RB .|. 
And|CC what|WP 's|VBZ Nancy|NNP doing|VBG ?|. 
Nancy|NNP ?|. Um|NNP ,|, she|PRP was|VBD sorta|NN finishing|VBG up|RP the|DT ,|, uh|UH ,|, 
calculation|NN of|IN marks|NNS and|CC assigning|VBG of|IN grades|NNS ,|, but|CC I|PRP do|VBP n't|RB know|VB if|IN she|PRP should|MD be|VB here|RB .|. 
Well|RB -|- or|CC ,|, she|PRP should|MD be|VB free|JJ after|IN that|DT ,|, so|RB -|- 
assuming|VBG she|PRP 's|VBZ coming|VBG to|TO this|DT meeting|NN .|. 
I|PRP do|VBP n't|RB know|VB if|IN she|PRP knows|VBZ about|IN it|PRP .|. 
She|PRP 's|VBZ on|IN the|DT email|NN list|NN ,|, right|NN ?|. 
Is|VBZ she|PRP ?|. O_K|NNP .|. 
Mm-hmm|NNP .|. 
O_K|NNP .|. 
Because|IN 

basically|RB ,|, what|WP -|- 
where|WRB we|PRP also|RB have|VBP decided|VBN ,|, prior|RB to|TO

O_K|NNP .|.

Believe|NNP it|PRP or|CC not|RB ,|, we|PRP have|VBP all|PDT the|DT bottom|NN ones|NNS here|RB .|.

That|DT makes|VBZ a|DT lot|NN more|JJR sense|NN to|TO me|PRP now|RB .|.

When|WRB you|PRP say|VBP ,|, "|'' the|DT whole|JJ group|NN "|'' ,|, you|PRP mean|VBP 
the|DT four|CD of|IN us|PRP ,|, and|CC Keith|NNP ?|. 

And|CC ,|, Ami|NNP might|MD .|. 
Ami|NNP might|MD be|VB here|RB ,|, and|CC it|PRP 's|VBZ possible|JJ that|IN Nancy|NNP 'll|MD be|VB here|RB ?|. 
Yep|NNP .|. 
So|RB ,|, 
yeah|UH .|. 
Because|IN ,|, th-|NN you|PRP know|VBP ,|, 
once|RB we|PRP have|VBP the|DT belief|NN -|- net|NN done|VBN -|- 
You|PRP 're|VBP just|RB gonna|VBG have|VBP to|TO 
explain|VB it|PRP to|TO me|PRP ,|, then|RB ,|, on|IN Tuesday|NNP ,|, how|WRB it|PRP 's|VBZ all|DT gonna|VBG work|NN out|RP .|. 
You|PRP know|VBP .|. 


We|PRP will|MD .|. 
O_K|NNP .|. Because|IN then|RB ,|, once|RB we|PRP have|VBP it|PRP sort|NN of|IN up|RB and|CC running|VBG ,|, then|RB we|PRP can|MD start|VB you|PRP know|VB ,|, 
defining|VBG the|DT interfaces|NNS and|CC then|RB feed|VB stuff|NN into|IN it|PRP and|CC get|VB stuff|NN out|IN of|IN it|PRP ,|, and|CC then|RB 
hook|NN it|PRP up|RP to|TO some|DT 
fake|JJ construction|NN 
parser|NN and|CC -|- 
That|DT you|PRP will|MD have|VB in|IN about|IN 
nine|CD months|NNS or|CC so|RB .|. Yeah|UH .|. 
Yeah|UH .|. 

And|CC ,|, um|UH ,|, 
The|DT first|JJ bad|JJ version|NN 'll|MD be|VB done|VBN in|IN nine|CD months|NNS .|. 
Yeah|UH ,|, I|PRP can|MD worry|VB about|IN the|DT ontology|NN interface|NN and|CC you|PRP can|MD -|- Keith|NNP can|MD worry|VB about|IN the|DT discourse|NN .|. I|PRP mean|VBP ,|, this|DT is|VBZ pretty|RB -|- Um|NNP ,|, I|PRP mean|VBP ,|, I|PRP -|- I|PRP -|- I|PRP hope|VBP everybody|NN uh|UH knows|VBZ that|DT 
these|DT are|VBP just|RB going|VBG to|TO be|VB uh|UH dummy|JJ values|NNS ,|, right|NN ?|. 
Which|WDT -|- 
where|WRB the|DT -|- 
Which|WDT ones|NNS ?|. 
S-|NNP so|RB -|- |- so|RB if|IN the|DT endpoint|NN -|- if|IN the|DT Go|VB -|- there|RB is|VBZ Yes|UH and|CC No|DT ,|, then|RB Go|VB -|- there|RB -|- discourse|NN will|MD just|RB be|VB fifty|CD -|- fifty|CD .|. 
Right|RB ?|. 
Um|NNP ,|, what|WP do|VBP you|PRP mean|VBP ?|. If|IN the|DT Go|VB -|- there|RB says|VBZ No|DT ,|, then|RB the|DT Go|VB -|- there|RB is|VBZ -|- 
I|PRP do|VBP n't|RB get|VB it|PRP .|. 
I|PRP do|VBP n't|RB u-|NN understand|VB .|. 
Um|NNP .|. 
Like|IN ,|, the|DT Go|VB -|- there|RB depends|VBZ on|IN all|PDT those|DT four|CD things|NNS .|. 
Yep|NNP .|. 
Yeah|UH .|. 
But|CC ,|, what|WP are|VBP the|DT values|NNS of|IN the|DT Go|VB -|- there|RB -|- discourse|NN ?|. 
Well|RB ,|, it|PRP depends|VBZ on|IN the|DT situation|NN .|. If|IN the|DT discourse|NN is|VBZ strongly|RB indicating|VBG that|DT -|- 
Yeah|UH ,|, but|CC ,|, uh|UH ,|, we|PRP have|VBP no|DT discourse|NN input|NN .|. 
Oh|UH ,|, I|PRP see|VBP .|. The|DT d-|NN See|VB ,|, uh|UH ,|, specifically|RB in|IN our|PRP$ situation|NN ,|, D_|NNP and|CC O_|NNP are|VBP gonna|VBG be|VB ,|, uh|UH -|- Yeah|UH .|. Sure|RB .|. So|RB ,|, whatever|WDT .|. 
So|RB ,|, so|RB far|RB we|PRP have|VBP -|- 
Is|VBZ that|IN what|WP the|DT Keith|NNP node|NN is|VBZ ?|. 

Yep|NNP .|. 
O_K|NNP .|. And|CC you|PRP 're|VBP taking|VBG it|PRP out|RP ?|. for|IN now|RB ?|. Or|CC -|- ?|. 
Well|RB ,|, this|DT is|VBZ 
D_|NNP -|- 
O_K|NNP ,|, this|DT ,|, I|PRP can|MD -|- I|PRP can|MD get|VB it|PRP in|IN here|RB .|. 
All|DT the|DT D_|NNP 's|POS are|NN -|- 
I|PRP can|MD get|VB it|PRP in|IN here|RB ,|, so|RB th-|NN We|PRP have|VBP the|DT ,|, uh|UH ,|, 
um|UH ,|, 


sk-|NN let|VB 's|POS -|- let|VB 's|POS call|NN it|PRP "|'' Keith|NNP -|- Johno|NNP

Johno|NNP ?|. 
There|EX is|VBZ 
an|DT H_|NNP 
somewhere|RB printed|VBN .|. 
There|EX you|PRP go|VBP .|. 
Yeah|UH .|. People|NNS have|VBP the|DT same|JJ problem|NN with|IN my|PRP$ name|NN .|. 
Yeah|UH .|. 
Oops|NNP .|. 

And|CC ,|, um|UH ,|, 

Does|VBZ th-|NN th-|NN does|VBZ the|DT H_|NNP go|NN b-|NN before|IN the|DT A_|DT or|CC after|IN the|DT A_|DT ?|. 
Oh|UH ,|, in|IN my|PRP$ name|NN ?|. Before|IN the|DT A_|DT .|. 
Yeah|UH .|. 
O_K|NNP ,|, good|JJ .|. 
Cuz|NNP you|PRP kn-|NN When|WRB you|PRP said|VBD people|NNS have|VBP the|DT same|JJ problem|NN ,|, I|PRP thought|VBD -|- Cuz|NNP my|PRP$ H_|NNP goes|VBZ after|IN the|DT uh|UH e-|NN e-|NN e-|NN the|DT v-|NN 
People|NNS have|VBP the|DT inverse|NN problem|NN with|IN my|PRP$ name|NN .|. 
O_K|NNP .|. 
I|PRP always|RB have|VBP to|TO check|VB ,|, 
every|DT time|NN y-|NN I|PRP send|VBP you|PRP an|DT email|NN ,|, 
a|DT past|JJ email|NN of|IN yours|NNS ,|, to|TO make|VB sure|JJ I|PRP 'm|VBP spelling|VBG your|PRP$ name|NN correctly|RB .|. 

Yeah|UH .|. 
That|DT 's|VBZ good|NN .|. 
I|PRP worry|VBP about|IN you|PRP .|. 

I|PRP appreciate|VBP that|DT .|. 



But|CC ,|, when|WRB you|PRP abbreviate|NN yourself|PRP as|RB the|DT "|'' Basman|NNP "|'' ,|, you|PRP do|VBP n't|RB use|VB any|DT H_|NNP 's|POS .|. 

"|'' Basman|NNP "|'' ?|. Yeah|UH ,|, it|PRP 's|VBZ because|IN of|IN the|DT chessplayer|NN named|VBD Michael|NNP Basman|NNP ,|, who|WP is|VBZ my|PRP$ hero|NN .|. 
O_K|NNP .|. 


You|PRP 're|VBP a|DT geek|NN .|. 

It|PRP 's|VBZ O_|NNP K.|NN I-|NNP 



How|WRB do|VBP you|PRP pronou-|NN 
O_K|NNP .|. 
How|WRB do|VBP you|PRP pronounce|NN your|PRP$ name|NN ?|. 
Eva|NNP .|. 
Eva|NNP ?|. 
Yeah|UH .|. 
Not|RB Eva|NNP ?|. 
What|WP if|IN I|PRP were|VBD -|- What|WP if|IN I|PRP were|VBD to|TO call|VB you|PRP Eva|NNP ?|. 
I|PRP 'd|MD probably|RB still|RB respond|VB to|TO it|PRP .|. 

I|PRP 've|VBP had|VBN people|NNS call|VBP me|PRP Eva|NNP ,|, but|CC I|PRP do|VBP n't|RB know|VB .|. 
No|DT ,|, not|RB just|RB Eva|NNP ,|, Eva|NNP .|. Like|IN if|IN I|PRP u-|NN 

take|VB the|DT V_|NNP and|CC s-|NN pronounce|NN it|PRP like|VBP it|PRP was|VBD a|DT German|NNP V_|NNP ?|. 
Which|WDT is|VBZ F_|NN .|. 
Yeah|UH .|. 
Um|NNP ,|, no|DT idea|NN then|RB .|. 
Voiced|NNP .|. 
What|WP ?|. 
It|PRP sounds|VBZ like|IN an|DT F_|NN .|. There|EX 's|VBZ also|RB an|DT F_|NN in|IN German|JJ ,|, which|WDT is|VBZ why|WRB I|PRP -|- 
I|PRP -|- 
O_K|NNP .|. 
Well|RB ,|, it|PRP 's|VBZ just|RB the|DT difference|NN between|IN voiced|VBN and|CC unvoiced|JJ .|. 
O_K|NNP .|. 
Yeah|UH .|. 

As|RB long|RB as|IN that|DT 's|VBZ O_|NNP K.|NN I|PRP mean|VBP ,|, I|PRP might|MD slip|VB out|IN and|CC say|VB it|PRP accidentally|RB .|. That|DT 's|VBZ all|DT I|PRP 'm|VBP saying|VBG .|. 
Um|NNP .|. 
That|DT 's|VBZ fine|NN .|. 
Yeah|UH .|. It|PRP does|VBZ n't|RB matter|VB what|WP those|DT nodes|NNS are|VBP ,|, anyway|RB ,|, because|IN we|PRP 'll|MD just|RB make|VB the|DT weights|NNS "|'' zero|CD "|'' for|IN now|RB .|. 
Yep|NNP .|. 
We|PRP 'll|MD make|VB them|PRP zero|CD for|IN now|RB ,|, 


because|IN it|PRP -|- who|WP -|- who|WP knows|VBZ what|WP they|PRP come|VBP up|RB with|IN ,|, 
what|WP 's|VBZ gonna|VBG come|VB in|IN there|RB .|. 
O_K|NNP .|. 
And|CC ,|, um|UH ,|, 
then|RB 
should|MD we|PRP start|VB on|IN Thursday|NNP ?|. 
O_K|NNP .|. 
And|CC not|RB meet|VB tomorrow|NN ?|. 
Sure|RB .|. 
O_K|NNP .|. 
I|PRP 'll|MD send|VB an|DT email|NN ,|, 
make|VB a|DT time|NN suggestion|NN .|. 
Wait|VB ,|, maybe|RB it|PRP 's|VBZ O_K|NNP ,|, so|IN that|DT -|- 
that|IN -|- that|IN we|PRP can|MD -|- that|IN we|PRP have|VBP one|CD node|NN per|IN construction|NN .|. 
Cuz|NNP even|RB in|IN people|NNS ,|, like|IN ,|, they|PRP do|VBP n't|RB know|VB what|WP you|PRP 're|VBP talking|VBG about|IN if|IN you|PRP 're|VBP using|VBG some|DT sort|NN of|IN strange|JJ construction|NN .|. 
Yeah|UH ,|, they|PRP would|MD still|RB c-|NN sort|NN of|IN get|VB the|DT closest|JJS ,|, best|JJS fit|VB .|. 
Well|RB ,|, yeah|UH ,|, but|CC I|PRP mean|VBP ,|, the|DT -|- uh|UH ,|, I|PRP mean|VBP ,|, that|DT 's|VBZ what|WP the|DT construction|NN parser|NN would|MD do|VB .|. Uh|NNP ,|, I|PRP mean|VBP ,|, if|IN you|PRP said|VBD something|NN completely|RB arbitrary|JJ ,|, it|PRP would|MD f-|NN find|VBP the|DT 
Mm-hmm|NNP .|. 
closest|JJS construction|NN ,|, right|NN ?|. But|CC if|IN you|PRP said|VBD something|NN that|WDT was|VBD completel-|NN er|UH -|- h-|NN theoretically|RB the|DT construction|NN parser|NN would|MD do|VB that|DT -|- 
O_K|NNP .|. 
But|CC if|IN you|PRP said|VBD something|NN for|IN which|WDT there|EX was|VBD no|DT construction|NN whatsoever|RB ,|, 
n-|NN people|NNS would|MD n't|RB have|VB any|DT idea|NN what|WP you|PRP were|VBD talking|VBG about|IN .|. 
Mm-hmm|NNP .|. 
Like|IN "|'' Bus|NN dog|NN fried|JJ egg|NN .|. "|'' I|PRP mean|VBP .|. 
You|PRP know|VBP .|. 
Or|CC ,|, if|IN even|RB something|NN Chinese|JJ ,|, for|IN example|NN .|. 

Or|CC ,|, something|NN in|IN Mandarin|NNP ,|, yeah|UH .|. 
Or|CC Cantonese|NNP ,|, as|IN the|DT case|NN may|MD be|VB .|. 
What|WP do|VBP you|PRP think|VBP about|IN that|DT ,|, Bhaskara|NNP ?|. 

I|PRP mean|VBP -|- 
Well|RB -|- 
But|CC how|WRB many|JJ constructions|NNS do|VBP -|- could|MD we|PRP possibly|RB have|VB 
nodes|NNS for|RP ?|. 
In|IN this|DT system|NN ,|, or|CC in|IN r-|NN 
No|DT ,|, we|PRP .|. Like|IN ,|, when|WRB people|NNS do|VBP this|DT kind|NN of|IN thing|NN .|. 
Oh|UH ,|, when|WRB p-|NN How|WRB many|JJ constructions|NNS do|VBP people|NNS have|VBP ?|. 
Yeah|UH .|. 
I|PRP have|VBP not|RB the|DT slightest|JJS idea|NN .|. 
Is|VBZ it|PRP considered|VBD to|TO be|VB like|IN in|IN -|- are|VBP they|PRP considered|VBD to|TO be|VB like|IN very|RB ,|, uh|UH ,|, sort|NN of|IN s-|NN abstract|JJ things|NNS ?|. 
Every|DT noun|NN is|VBZ a|DT construction|NN .|. 
O_K|NNP ,|, so|IN it|PRP 's|VBZ like|IN in|IN the|DT thousands|NNS .|. 
The|DT -|- Yeah|UH .|. 
Any|DT -|- any|DT form-|NN meaning|VBG pair|NN ,|, to|TO my|PRP$ understanding|NN ,|, is|VBZ a|DT construction|NN .|. 
O_K|NNP .|. 
So|RB .|. 
And|CC form|NN u-|NN starts|VBZ at|IN the|DT level|NN of|IN noun|NN -|- Or|CC actually|RB ,|, maybe|RB even|RB sounds|NNS .|. Yeah|UH .|. 
Phoneme|NNP .|. Yep|NNP .|. 
And|CC goes|VBZ upwards|NNS 
until|IN you|PRP get|VBP 
the|DT ditransitive|JJ construction|NN .|. 
And|CC then|RB ,|, of|IN course|NN ,|, the|DT c-|NN -|- I|PRP guess|VBP ,|, maybe|RB there|EX can|MD be|VB the|DT -|- 
S-|NNP 
Can|MD there|EX be|VB combinations|NNS of|IN the|DT dit-|NN 
Discourse|NN -|- level|NN 
Yeah|UH .|. 
constructions|NNS .|. 
The|DT "|'' giving|VBG a|DT speech|NN "|'' construction|NN ,|, 
Rhetorical|NNP constructions|NNS .|. Yeah|UH .|. 
Yes|UH .|. 


But|CC ,|, I|PRP mean|VBP ,|, 
you|PRP know|VBP ,|, you|PRP can|MD probably|RB count|VB -|- 
count|NN the|DT ways|NNS .|. 
I|PRP mean|VBP .|. 
It|PRP 's|VBZ probab-|NN Yeah|UH ,|, I|PRP would|MD s-|NN definitely|RB say|VB it|PRP 's|VBZ finite|JJ .|. 
Yeah|UH .|. 
And|CC at|IN least|JJS in|IN compilers|NNS ,|, that|DT 's|VBZ all|DT that|IN really|RB matters|VBZ ,|, as|RB long|RB as|IN your|PRP$ analysis|NN is|VBZ finite|JJ .|. 



How|WRB 's|POS that|DT ?|. How|WRB it|PRP can|MD be|VB finite|JJ ,|, again|RB ?|. 

Nah|NNP ,|, I|PRP ca|MD n't|RB think|VB of|IN a|DT way|NN it|PRP would|MD be|VB infinite|NN .|. 


Well|RB ,|, you|PRP can|MD come|VB up|RB with|IN new|JJ constructions|NNS .|. 
Yeah|UH .|. 
If|IN the|DT -|- if|IN your|PRP$ -|- if|IN your|PRP$ brain|NN was|VBD totally|RB non-deterministic|JJ -|- ,|, 


then|RB perhaps|RB there|EX 's|VBZ a|DT way|NN to|TO get|VB ,|, uh|UH ,|, 
infin-|NN -|- an|DT infinite|NN number|NN of|IN constructions|NNS that|IN you|PRP 'd|MD have|VB to|TO worry|VB about|IN .|. 
But|CC ,|, I|PRP mean|VBP ,|, in|IN the|DT practical|JJ sense|NN ,|, it|PRP 's|VBZ impossible|JJ .|. 
Right|RB .|. Cuz|NNP if|IN we|PRP have|VBP a|DT fixed|VBN number|NN of|IN neurons|NNS -|- ?|. 
Yeah|UH .|. 


So|IN the|DT best|JJ -|- case|NN scenario|NN would|MD be|VB the|DT number|NN of|IN constructions|NNS -|- or|CC ,|, the|DT worst|JJ -|- case|NN scenario|NN is|VBZ the|DT number|NN of|IN constructions|NNS equals|VBZ the|DT number|NN of|IN neurons|NNS .|. 
Well|RB ,|, two|CD to|TO the|DT power|NN of|IN the|DT number|NN of|IN neurons|NNS .|. 
Right|RB .|. 
But|CC still|RB 
finite|JJ .|. 


O_K|NNP .|. 
No|DT ,|, wait|NN .|. Not|RB necessarily|RB ,|, is|VBZ it|PRP ?|. 
We|PRP can|MD end|VB the|DT meeting|NN .|. I|PRP just|RB -|- 
Ca|MD n't|RB you|PRP use|VBP different|JJ var-|NN different|JJ levels|NNS of|IN activation|NN ?|. 
across|IN ,|, uh|UH -|- 
Mm-hmm|NNP .|. 
lots|NNS of|IN different|JJ neurons|NNS ,|, to|TO specify|VB different|JJ values|NNS ?|. 

Um|NNP ,|, yeah|UH ,|, but|CC there|EX 's|VBZ ,|, like|IN ,|, a|DT certain|JJ level|NN of|IN -|- 

There|EX 's|VBZ a|DT bandwidth|NN issue|NN ,|, right|NN ?|. Yeah|UH .|. 
Bandw-|NNP Yeah|UH ,|, so|IN you|PRP ca|MD n't|RB do|VB better|JJR than|IN something|NN .|. 
Turn|NN off|RP the|DT mikes|NNS .|. Otherwise|RB it|PRP gets|VBZ really|RB tough|JJ for|IN the|DT tr-|NN
