So. I  I guess some of the progress , I  I 've been getting a  getting my committee members for the quals. And um so far I have Morgan and Hynek ,  Mike Jordan , and I asked John Ohala and he agreed. Yeah. Yeah.
Cool.
So I 'm  I  I just need to ask um Malek. One more. Um. Tsk. Then uh I talked a little bit about  um continuing with these dynamic ev um acoustic events , and um   we 're  we 're  we 're  thinking about a way to test the completeness of a  a set of um dynamic uh events. Uh , completeness in the  in the sense that  um if we  if we pick these X number of acoustic events ,  do they provide sufficient coverage  for the phones that we 're trying to recognize  or  or the f the words that we 're gonna try to recognize later on. And so Morgan and I were uh discussing  um s uh s a form of a cheating experiment  where we get   um we have uh  um a chosen set of features , or acoustic events , and we train up a hybrid  um system to do phone recognition on TIMIT. So i i the idea is if we get good phone recognition results ,  using um these set of acoustic events ,  then  um that  that says that these acoustic events are g sufficient to cover  a set of phones , at least found in TIMIT. Um so i it would be a   a measure of " are we on the right track with  with the  the choices of our acoustic events ". Um ,  So that 's going on. And  also , just uh working on my  uh final project for Jordan 's class , uh which is
Actually , let me
