Question: You are asked to act as a member of the Financial Results Conference Call and answer the question: What was the state of Renewable Energy Group's second quarter financial results in 2019, and what was the key issue affecting the performance?

The Renewable Energy Group's second quarter financial results in 2019 were disappointing, with an adjusted EBITDA of negative $42.3 million. The key issue affecting the performance was the ongoing indecision regarding the reinstatement of the biodiesel mixture excise tax credit (BTC), which had been dragging on for 20 months. We noted this uncertainty had led to a market caught in the middle and depressed realized margins.

The company's second quarter adjusted EBITDA of negative $42.3 million was well below its expectations. The key issue affecting the performance was the indecision around reinstating the biodiesel mixture excise tax credit (BTC). This indecision caused reduced margins and compelled the company to accept lower biodiesel prices to capture a higher percentage of potential BTC benefits.


Question: You are asked to act as a member of the Financial Results Conference Call and answer the question: What are Renewable Energy Group's plans and expectations for renewable diesel?

Renewable Energy Group is confident in the outlook for renewable diesel, given the strong demand and good pricing. We plan to focus on renewable diesel for its major investment opportunities and is advancing its potential joint venture with Phillips 66. It expects to make a final investment decision by the end of the year, with the project coming online in late 2022.

The company is highly confident in the outlook for renewable diesel. Demand is very strong and pricing is good. Production volumes at the Geismar plant continue to grow organically. The company is also progressing with its planned joint venture with Phillips 66 for renewable diesel, with final investment decisions expected by the end of 2019.


Question: You are asked to act as a member of the Financial Results Conference Call and answer the question: What measures has the Renewable Energy Group undertaken to improve its performance?

The Renewable Energy Group increased its gallons sold by 15% over the previous year and made improvements in operational efficiency and feedstock flexibility. It also began to see traction in its downstream strategy, including opening a cardlock station, increasing biodiesel blends, converting delivery vehicles to B100 biodiesel, and driving higher margin markets with our proprietary blend of biodiesel and renewable diesel, REG Ultra Clean.

The company has taken various self-help actions to improve performance including: growing gallons sold 15% year-over-year, improving production efficiency, maximizing feedstock flexibility, and focusing on its downstream strategy by blending more biodiesel and selling fuel directly to fleet customers.


Question: You are asked to act as a member of the Financial Results Conference Call and answer the question: What significant strategic move did the Renewable Energy Group make concerning the management of its feedstock resources in the face of compressing spreads?

The Renewable Energy Group didn't specifically indicate a strategic move regarding its feedstock resources amid compressing spreads. It did note that its cost advantage was affected because approximately 75% of its feedstocks are lower-cost feedstocks like used cooking oil, corn oil, and choice white grease, and the spreads between these and other feedstocks compressed.

The company leveraged its feedstock flexibility to use more lower cost soybean oil compared to the prior year, even though soybean oil spreads had compressed. At times during the quarter, soybean oil was cheaper than animal fat on a yield adjusted basis, so the company switched some production to soybean oil when appropriate. The company said it can switch between feedstocks as pricing dictates, optimizing operational profitability.


Question: You are asked to act as a member of the Financial Results Conference Call and answer the question: What was the reason for the Renewable Energy Group's Q2 adjusted EBITDA result being lower than expected?

The Q2 adjusted EBITDA result was lower than expected due to taking on a greater than the historical portion of the expected BTC (Biodiesel Tax Credit) value this quarter. The result was also impacted by a drop in the average selling price of biodiesel which was due to changes in the field environment related to BTC sharing.

The company took on a greater than historical portion of the expected biodiesel mixture excise tax credit (BTC) value in the quarter, which resulted in lower biodiesel prices. While the estimated BTC benefit was $81 million, the lower biodiesel prices impacted results negatively by $19 million compared to guidance.


Question: You are asked to act as a member of the Financial Results Conference Call and answer the question: What were the major changes in the company's revenue and costs in Q2?

Despite an increase in total gallons sold, primarily due to renewable diesel and petroleum diesel, the company's revenue declined by 3%. This was due to a decrease in U.S. biodiesel selling price and non-recognition of California LCFS (Low Carbon Fuel Standard) credits in Q2. The cost of goods sold increased due to a rise in the feedstock complex and the compression of lower-cost feedstocks.

On the revenue side: U.S. biodiesel selling prices were down sharply. The company did not recognize $29 million in California low carbon fuel standard (LCFS) credits due to an administrative delay.

On the cost side: The increase in cost of goods sold was driven by an overall rise in feedstock costs and compression of lower cost feedstock spreads. Total cost of goods sold rose while revenue declined, resulting in a gross loss.


Question: You are asked to act as a member of the Financial Results Conference Call and answer the question: How has the company's financial health changed over the past quarter?

The company's debt-to-capital ratio dropped from 20.6% to 15.2%, the lowest level since Q1 2014. Cash declined due to operations and the settlement of 2019 convertible bonds, and total debt was reduced by lowering the revolver outstanding. As of the end of Q2, we had $61.6 million in cash and $68 million available on lines of credit.

• The company's reported second quarter financial results were disappointing, with adjusted EBITDA much lower than expected at negative $42.3 million.
• Margins compressed due to lower biodiesel selling prices, lower RIN prices, and compressed spreads between feedstock costs.
• Cash declined due to cash used in operations and cash used to pay off convertible bonds.
• The company's debt-to-capital ratio improved to 15.2%, the lowest level since 2014, driven by reducing revolver outstanding with working capital changes.


Question: You are asked to act as a member of the Financial Results Conference Call and answer the question: Considering the current market challenges, what strategies or initiatives does the company plan to implement for growth and stability in the future?

As mentioned before, we remain focused on improving financial results amidst challenging market conditions. we are delivering on controllable elements of our plan and have put several programs in place that we believe will accelerate growth in the future. We also anticipate that the reinstatement of the BTC will bolster our results and provide capital for future value creation.

• The company is focusing on expanding its downstream strategy of selling directly to end users through initiatives like cardlock stations and fuel distribution, which can drive higher biodiesel blends and margins.
• The company sees growing demand and opportunities for renewable diesel. It is progressing on a potential joint venture with Phillips 66 for renewable diesel production.
• The company is managing capital investments carefully in the current environment while continuing to invest in high return projects.
• The company is implementing programs it believes will accelerate future growth once the uncertainty around the Biodiesel Tax Credit is resolved.


Question: Please help me summarize this government report.

House rules govern the length of time legislative measures must be available to Members before being considered on the floor. For measures reported from committee, a draft of the committee report must have been available for 72 hours. Conference reports must also have been available for 72 hours and special rules for considering measures for one legislative day. Bills and joint resolutions that have not been reported by committee, and therefore are not accompanied by a written report, may also not be considered on the House floor unless the measure has been available for 72 hours. Proposed committee reports, unreported bills and joint resolutions, conference reports, and joint explanatory statements are considered available under these rules if they are publicly available in electronic form on a website designated by the Committee on House Administration for this purpose, http://docs.house.gov.
The House has several means by which it can choose to waive these availability requirements and call up, debate, and vote on a measure in a single calendar day even if the text of the measure was not made available prior to consideration. These include (1) considering a measure under the suspension of the rules procedure or by unanimous consent, (2) adopting a special rule that waives the 72-hour requirement, (3) adopting a special rule that waives the one-day requirement for another special rule, and (4) convening a second legislative day on the same calendar day. Waiving availability requirements allows the House to act quickly when necessary, such as near the end of a session.

Here is a summary of the key points:
House rules require that bills, resolutions and reports be available for at least 72 hours before being considered on the floor. This is to give Members time to review them.
Reported bills and resolutions must have an available draft committee report for 72 hours before floor consideration.
Unreported bills and joint resolutions that have not been reported by committee must also be available for 72 hours.
Conference reports and accompanying statements must be available in the Congressional Record or electronic form for 72 hours.
Special rules from the Rules Committee can waive the availability requirements.
The availability requirements can also be waived by unanimous consent, 2/3 vote to suspend the rules, or majority vote to pass a special rule.
Near the end of a session, the House often passes special rules that waive the availability requirements to expedite action on legislation. Some Members argue this is needed to match existing end-of-session rules, while others argue all Members deserve time to review proposals.

In summary, the key tools to ensure review time are the availability requirements, but the House can waive those requirements when it wants to act quickly, especially near the end of a session.

Question: Please generate the Abstract section for this paper.

Simultaneous machine translation models start generating a target sequence before they have encoded the source sequence. Recent approaches for this task either apply a fixed policy on a state-of-the art Transformer model, or a learnable monotonic attention on a weaker recurrent neural network-based structure. In this paper, we propose a new attention mechanism, Monotonic Multihead Attention (MMA), which extends the monotonic attention mechanism to multihead attention. We also introduce two novel and interpretable approaches for latency control that are specifically designed for multiple attention heads. We apply MMA to the simultaneous machine translation task and demonstrate better latency-quality tradeoffs compared to MILk, the previous state-of-the-art approach. We analyze how the latency controls affect the attention span and we study the relationship between the speed of a head and the layer it belongs to. Finally, we motivate the introduction of our model by analyzing the effect of the number of decoder layers and heads on quality and latency.

Abstract: We propose monotonic multihead attention (MMA), which combines the high translation quality from multilayer multihead attention and low latency from monotonic attention. We propose two variants: Hard MMA (MMA-H) and Infinite Lookback MMA (MMMA-IL). We also propose latency regularization methods that encourage the model to be faster by minimizing average latency and maintaining similar attention positions. Experiments on IWSLT15 En-Vi and WMT15 De-En show that our model achieves better latency-quality tradeoffs compared to the state-of-the-art MILk model. Analyses show how our model controls the attention span and the relationship between head speed and layer.

Recent work on simultaneous machine translation falls into three categories. In the first one, models use a rule-based policy for reading input and writing output. Cho & Esipova (2016) propose a WaitIf-* policy to enable an offline model to decode simultaneously. Ma et al. (2019) propose a wait-k policy where the model first reads k tokens, then alternates between read and write actions. Dalvi et al. (2018) propose an incremental decoding method, also based on a rule-based schedule. In the second category, a flexible policy is learnt from data. Grissom II et al. (2014) introduce a Markov chain to phrase-based machine translation models for simultaneous machine translation, in which they apply reinforcement learning to learn the read-write policy based on states. Gu et al. (2017) introduce an agent which learns to make decisions on when to translate from the interaction with a pre-trained offline neural machine translation model. Luo et al. (2017) used continuous rewards policy gradient for online alignments for speech recognition. Lawson et al.

Related Work
Simultaneous machine translation models aim to generate partial translations before seeing the entire source sentence [1, 2, 3]. Several approaches utilize monotonic attention, which attends to previous source tokens in an online fashion [1, 4, 5]. However, previous monotonic attention models are based on RNNs and lack multihead attention that has been shown effective in the Transformer model [6]. Our work combines monotonic attention with multihead attention, enabling the Transformer architecture for simultaneous translation. Our latency regularization methods are inspired by [4] which minimizes the expected latency. Other works explore continuous and reinforcement learning for simultaneous translation [2, 5]. Different from these works, we focus on leveraging the advantages of multihead attention in the Transformer.


Question: Please write a review for this paper and you should provide some suggestions and raise some questions in your review.

This paper proposes a fully transformer-based monotonic attention framework that extends the idea of MILK. Though the idea of monotonic multi-head attention sounds interesting, I still have some questions below:

About the method:
   1. Is that possible that the MMA would have worse latency than MILK since all the attention heads need to agree to write while MILK only has one attention head?
   2. Is there any attention order between different attention head?
   3. I think the MMA only could control the latency during training time, which would produce different models with different latency. Is there any way that enables MMA to control the latency during inference time? Can we change the latency for on given model by tuning the requirements mentioned in Eq. (1)?

About the experiments:
    1. Do you have any explanation of why both MMA-H and MMA-IL have better BLEU when AL is small? The results in fig 2 seem counterintuitive.
    2. I suggest the authors do more analysis of the difference between different attention heads to prove the effectiveness of MMA.
    3. For the left two figures in fig 4, which one is the baseline, and which one is the proposed model?

I also suggest the authors present more real sample analysis and discussions about the experiments.
6: Weak Accept

Overall this is an interesting paper that proposes monotonic multihead attention (MMA) for simultaneous machine translation. The MMA model combines the benefits of multihead attention in the Transformer and monotonic attention for low latency online decoding. The authors introduce two variants of MMA:
MMA-H: Has hard attention and is designed for streaming systems with a limited attention span.
MMA-IL: Uses soft attention and focuses more on translation quality.
The authors also propose latency control methods to dynamically control the attention heads and achieve better latency-quality tradeoffs.

The results show that the MMA models achieve better quality-latency tradeoffs compared to the previous state-of-the-art MILk model, especially MMA-H. The analysis provides some insights into the behaviors of the attention heads and the effect of decoder layers and heads.

Some suggestions:
More analysis on the behaviors of the attention heads would be useful. For example, analyzing why some heads become outliers and stay at the beginning of the sentence.
Exploring other techniques to further improve the latency-quality tradeoff, especially for MMA-H which has a smaller attention span.
Comparing to more recent simultaneous translation models to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed approach.

Some questions:
Why do the authors only use unidirectional encoders and greedy decoding for the offline models? Would using a bidirectional encoder and beam search further improve the results?
How sensitive are the results to the hyperparameters, especially the latency loss weights?
Can the threshold used for the reading/writing action be dynamically adjusted during inference based on some feedback from the output to further balance latency and quality?


Question: Please generate the Abstract section for this paper.

Deep neural networks have achieved outstanding performance in many real-world applications with the expense of huge computational resources. The DenseNet, one of the recently proposed neural network architecture, has achieved the state-of-the-art performance in many visual tasks. However, it has great redundancy due to the dense connections of the internal structure, which leads to high computational costs in training such dense networks. To address this issue, we design a reinforcement learning framework to search for efficient DenseNet architectures with layer-wise pruning (LWP) for different tasks, while retaining the original advantages of DenseNet, such as feature reuse, short paths, etc. In this framework, an agent evaluates the importance of each connection between any two block layers, and prunes the redundant connections. In addition, a novel reward-shaping trick is introduced to make DenseNet reach a better trade-off between accuracy and float point operations (FLOPs). Our experiments show that DenseNet with LWP is more compact and efficient than existing alternatives.

Deep neural networks have achieved remarkable success in various computer vision tasks. However, these over-parameterized neural networks require significant computational cost, making them difficult to deploy on resource-constrained devices. This paper proposes a layer-wise pruning method based on reinforcement learning to efficiently compress DenseNet for image classification. Our method learns to drop as many connections as possible between DenseNet layers while maintaining good accuracy. Experiments on CIFAR and ImageNet datasets demonstrate that our approach can effectively compress the DenseNet models with moderate accuracy degradation.

Huang et al. (2018) proposed group convolution to remove connections between layers in DenseNet for which this feature reuse is superfluous; Huang et al. (2017a) also suggested progressively update prediction for every test sample to unevenly adapt the amount of computational resource at inference time. The most related work is BlockDrop (Wu et al., 2018), which used reinforcement learning to prune weight dynamically at inference time but can only be applied to ResNet or its variants. In contrast, our approach is based on DenseNet, aiming to find efficient network structure based the densely connected features of DenseNet.

Related Work
Compressing and accelerating deep neural networks have attracted significant research attentions recently. Huang et al. [1] proposed Multi-scale dense networks for resource efficient image classification. They introduced multi-scale growth to dense blocks and achieved higher efficiency. Huang et al. [2] first introduced the DenseNet architecture and achieved state-of-the-art results on image classification tasks. Huang et al. [3] extended DenseNet with learned group convolutions and achieved better compactness. Wu et al. [4] introduced BlockDrop that dynamically drops blocks during inference to reduce computational cost of ResNets. Different from these works which rely heavily on expert knowledge, our approach employs reinforcement learning to automatically search for efficient DenseNet structures.


Question: Please write a review for this paper and you should provide some suggestions and raise some questions in your review.

The paper introduces RL based approach to prune layers in a DenseNet. This work extends BlockDrop to DenseNet architecture making the controller independent form the input image. The approach is evaluated on CIFAR10 and CIFAR100 datasets as well as on ImageNet showing promising results.

In order to improve the paper, the authors could take into consideration the following points:
1. Given the similarity of the approach with BlockDrop, I would suggest to discuss it in the introduction section clearly stating the similarities and the differences with the proposed approach.
2. BlockDrop seems to introduce a general framework of policy network to prune neural networks. However, the authors claim that BlockDrop "can only be applied to ResNets or its variants". Could the authors comment on this?
3. In the abstract, the authors claim: "Our experiments show that DenseNet with LWP is more compact and efficient than existing alternatives". It is hard to asses if the statement is correct given the evidence presented in the experimental section. It is not clear if the method is more efficient and compact than others, e. g.  CondenseNet.
4. In the experimental section, addressing the following questions would make the section stronger: What is more important FLOPs or number of parameters? What is the accuracy drop we should allow to pay for reduction in number of parameters or FLOPs?
5. For the evaluation, I would suggest to show that the learned policy is better than a random one: e. g. not using the controller to define policy (in line 20 of the algorithm) and using a random random policy instead.
6. In Table 1, some entries for DenseNet LWP are missing. Is the network converging for this setups?
7. \sigma is not explained in section 3.3. What is the intuition behind this hyper parameter?

Additional comments:
1. It might be interesting to compare the method introduced in the paper to a scenario where the controller is conditioned on an input image and adaptively selects the connections/layers in DenseNet at inference time.
2. It might be interesting to report the number of connections in Table 1 for all the models.

4: Ok but not good enough - rejection

This paper proposes a layer-wise pruning method based on reinforcement learning to compress and accelerate DenseNets. The key contributions are:

Formulating network pruning as a Markov Decision Process and using an LSTM controller to generate pruning decisions layer-wise. This reduces the search space compared to per-weight pruning.
Designing a reward function that considers both prediction accuracy and FLOPs reduction. This allows finding a good trade-off between efficiency and performance.

Using a curriculum learning strategy to make the pruning process more efficient.
The experiments show that the proposed method can significantly reduce FLOPs and parameters of DenseNets while maintaining or slightly degrading accuracy.

However, there are some limitations and questions:
The search space is still quite large, especially for deeper DenseNets. How to further reduce the search complexity?
The reward function uses a fixed penalty for incorrect predictions. But different mistakes may have different severity. How to design a better reward function?
The experiments are limited to DenseNets. How well will the method generalize to other network architectures?
How does the compression rate compare to expert-designed networks, e.g. CondenseNets? The paper only compares to NAS methods.
More ablation studies are needed to better understand the effect of the different components (e.g. curriculum learning, joint training) and hyperparameters.

In summary, this is an interesting first attempt at pruning DenseNets with reinforcement learning. With some improvements to address the limitations above, the method has the potential to find more efficient neural network architectures in an automated way.


Question: Write a summary for the scene.

It's the first day of school at Degrassi Community School, and eighth-grader Ashley already has her sights set on becoming the school's newest student council president. Her seemingly sure win is soon threatened when her stepbrother, Toby, becomes frustrated by her unchallenged status and convinces his friend J.T. to run against her. Meanwhile, Emma and Manny deal with eighth-grader Spinner's bullying. Note: This episode marks the first appearances of Sarah Barrable-Tishauer, Lauren Collins, Aubrey Graham, and Shane Kippel as Liberty Van Zandt, Paige Michalchuk, Jimmy Brooks, and Spinner Mason.

Ashley has just been elected student council president at Degrassi Community School. Toby Isaacs, who has a contentious relationship with Ashley as her stepbrother, had encouraged his friend JT Yorke to run against Ashley as a joke. JT's campaign gains traction and worries Ashley.

Ashley offers to bribe JT to drop out of the race, which he accepts. Toby finds out and confronts Ashley, accusing her of corruption. Ashley explains that she just wanted this one thing that Toby couldn't take away from her.

Toby starts to feel guilty for putting JT up to it. At the election assembly, JT drops out and encourages students to vote for Ashley. After Ashley is declared the winner, she and Toby have a tentative bonding moment. They acknowledge that while they often don't get along, their living situation doesn't have to be miserable all the time.

In summary, the scene shows Ashley winning the student council election after JT drops out, and a small but meaningful connection forming between her and Toby as step-siblings.

Question: Please summarize these news articles.

– Frightened North Carolinians fleeing Irene are jamming highways as the East Coast steels for what could be the biggest hurricane in decades. At least seven states have now declared a state of emergency, and hundreds of flights are being canceled. Gas stations are running out of fuel and ATMs have been emptied of cash as Americans hit the road for a bumper-to-bumper trip out of Irene's angry path. The Category 3 storm is expected to hit the Southeast sometime tomorrow, and hundreds of thousands of residents have been ordered out of their homes in three North Carolina counties. Norfolk, Va., is also ordering residents to evacuate, and Washington, DC, has been forced to postpone Sunday's planned MLK Memorial dedication. "This is a very, very serious situation," a spokeswoman for Dare County told ABC News. "We have not seen anything like this in the lifetimes of most our residents. Once the storm hits, it will be very difficult to respond to distress calls." Irene is some 700 miles wide now and moving at a slow 12mph, which means it can wreak extensive damage in a region over a long period of time; it could cause up to $13.9 billion in damage on the East Coast. The storm is expected to barrel into New York City on Sunday, packing winds of up to 90mph. New Jersey communities are already being evacuated, and hundreds of street fairs have been canceled and elder care facilities and hospitals in low-lying area will be evacuated in New York today. NYC Mayor Michael Bloomberg says residents in low-lying parts of the city should get out today as the transit system is planned to be shut down tomorrow.

• Hurricane Irene was approaching the East Coast and threatening states from North Carolina to New England.
• North Carolina, Virginia, Maryland, and other states declared states of emergency and issued evacuation orders for coastal areas.
• The storm was expected to make landfall in North Carolina over the weekend and then move northward, bringing strong winds, storm surge, and heavy rain.
• Officials warned of the potential for widespread power outages, flooding, and property damage from the hurricane.
• People were evacuating beaches and barrier islands in North Carolina ahead of the storm.
• New York City officials advised residents to stay out of parks due to the risk of falling trees and branches. Hospitals and nursing homes in low-lying areas were ordered to evacuate.
• The dedication of the Martin Luther King Jr. Memorial in Washington D.C. was postponed due to the hurricane.
• Forecasters predicted Irene could strengthen to a Category 4 storm but was expected to weaken somewhat before hitting the Northeast.
• Officials and emergency workers were preparing for the storm and positioning resources like food, water and generators.
• Irene would be the first hurricane to make landfall in the U.S. since Hurricane Ike in 2008.


Question: Summarize the discussion of group warming and the introduction to the new remote control project.

Mutual greeting heralded the beginning of the meeting and the goal of the new remote control project was introduced by Project Manager to the conferees as to win over competitive products by being original, trendy and user-friendly. Then Project Manager continued with the introduction of the design process, which was divided into three main parts—functional design, conceptual design and desired design that respectively focused on the user-related technical functions, desirable user interface and different trends involved, and specific implementation and choice-detailing process of conceptual design.

The meeting began with Project Manager warming up the group and introducing the new remote control design project. He explained the design process would involve functional, conceptual and detailed design stages


Question: What did Project Manager recommend to do after introducing the design steps and why?

Project Manager recommended a drawing activity of conferees’ favourite animals with the aim of inspiring and contributing to the design process of the remote control.

After introducing the design steps, Project Manager recommended each member draw their favorite animal on the whiteboard to spur creativity. He believed this would help with designing the remote control.


Question: Summarize the discussion of specific designing requirements of the new remote control.

Given the customer demand and conferees personal experiences, several designing requirements were proposed during the discussion. The remote control was decided to be adaptable to multiple devices with few buttons, be able to be lighted in the dark and held in hand, and be both water-proof and shock-proof along with a whistle tracking system, based on which advantage over competitors might well be gained at the price of a rising production cost.

The group discussed various design requirements for the new remote control, including being lighted for dark use, having few buttons, being ergonomic and fitting in the hand, being waterproof and shockproof, and having remote tracking capabilities.


Question: What did Project Manager’s think of the water-proof design when discussing the designing requirements of the new remote control?

Considering the product originality, Project Manager believed that a water-proof remote control could be used in the bath conveniently while saving the customer’s need to purchase an extra plastic cover. Therefore, originality and competitiveness might be gained over competitive products.

Project Manager initially thought the waterproof design would be original and give them an advantage. However, others pointed out it may add bulk and cost.


Question: What did the conferees think of the solution to water-proof and shock-proof technical demands when discussing the designing requirements of the new remote control?

Conferees agreed that the remote control could be sold with optional plastic protection and water-proof box for customers to choose.

The group agreed waterproof and shockproof capabilities were important technical demands but debated the best solution, with some suggesting selling a plastic casing as an optional accessory.


Question: What did Industrial Designer and Project Manager think of the remote tracking method when discussing the designing requirements of the new remote control?

Industrial Designer first recommended adding a special beeping button on the TV set to remind users of where the remote controls were, but the plan was deemed impractical concerning TV sets that were not designed by them. Then Project Manager suggested whistle tracking and was approved by all the conferees as an original improvement.

Project Manager and Industrial Designer liked the idea of remote tracking using a whistle, believing it was very original. However, others noted it would add cost by requiring audio recording hardware.


Question: Summarize the whole meeting.

This meeting was primarily concerned with the design process and specific designing requirements of the remote control. Project Manager first introduced the goal of the new remote control project as to be original, trendy and user-friendly so as to bear an advantage over competitive products. Then three steps of the design process were respectively introduced and explained by Project Manager, and drawings of favourite animals then followed as an imagination-inspiring activity. According to Project Manager, the fifty-million-Euro financial objective of the project would be achieved at a production cost lower than 12.5 Euros and a twofold selling price. Competitiveness-endowing requirements for remote control design were then proposed and carefully discussed.

The goal is to design a new remote control that is original, trendy, and user-friendly to gain a competitive advantage.
The design process will include functional, conceptual, and detailed design stages.
The team is asked to draw their favorite animal as a creative exercise. Several team members draw animals on the whiteboard.
Some initial ideas for the remote control are discussed: having few buttons, being light and fitting in the hand, being shock-resistant and possibly waterproof.
A whistle-tracking feature is proposed but concerns are raised about the cost.
