Searle's Paper

Searle, J.R., "Minds, brains, and programs," The Behavioral and Brain Sciences, 3, 1980.

Rooms

  • Ernest Hemingway. A Clean Well-Lighted Place. 1933.
  • William Pope.L. White Room #4 / Wittgenstein & my Brother Frank. 2005. [1]
  • Jorgen Leth. The Perfect Human. [2]

Context

Dear Gallery Goer,
This is a press release for the first exhibition of art work by my son, William Pope.L,
at Catherine Bastide Gallery in Brussels, Belgium.

The works in this exhibition borrow from many media: pink liquid antacid, changing
stations, miniatures of monuments to the future, mattresses, children's clothing,
fish tanks, drawings and video. Most of the work was made in 2008 but a few special
works date from 1998 and 2002.

For example, my son believes that ideas such as 'childhood' and 'future' are 
sentimentalized. He believes that we valorize these concepts by emptying them of
uncertainty. He believes the real power of these ideas are their inherent emptiness,
not the emptiness we impose. The emptiness we impose is cheap, polite, and 
apolitical.

I do not agree with my son but he is my son and so I recommend him without reservation.

Shot Detection

  • run a shot detection on a movie
    • ./shotdetect-cmd -w -v -f -l -m -r -s 60 -i /Volumes/Cistern/Memory/home\ movies/Old\ Family\ Home\ Movies\ 2\ of\ 21-HrcOEqnOAQ0.flv -o ./ofhm2/

CHILDES speech database

CHILDES is the child language component of the TalkBank system. TalkBank is a system for sharing and studying conversational interactions. http://childes.talkbank.org

Processing

  • download mp3 audio from database
  • trim a child speech utterance out of a wav file
    • sox wav/1-05-09.wav speech1.wav trim 3.901 4.528
  • extract and concatenate all child speech from a transcript and wav file:
    • python ~/code/pytwomey/child_speech/extract_child_speech.py ./data/1-05-10.cha ./wav/1-05-10.wav ./processed/1-05-10/
  • extract audio from video documented file:
    • ffmpeg -i af06.mov -vn -ac 2 -ar 48000 af06.wav
  • extract audio of child directed speech from file:
    • python ~/code/pytwomey/child_speech/child_directed_speech.py ./data/c1/c1-0917.cha ./wav/c1-t14jan97.wav *MOT

Subsets

  • Brent.This corpus includes about 100 hours of recordings from English-speaking mothers of preverbal children. All of the transcripts are completely linked to the audio. [21]
