Grants and Contributions
About this information
In June 2016, as part of the Open Government Action Plan, the Treasury Board of Canada Secretariat (TBS) committed to increasing the transparency and usefulness of grants and contribution data and subsequently launched the Guidelines on the Reporting of Grants and Contributions Awards, effective April 1, 2018.
The rules and principles governing government grants and contributions are outlined in the Treasury Board Policy on Transfer Payments. Transfer payments are transfers of money, goods, services or assets made from an appropriation to individuals, organizations or other levels of government, without the federal government directly receiving goods or services in return, but which may require the recipient to provide a report or other information subsequent to receiving payment. These expenditures are reported in the Public Accounts of Canada. The major types of transfer payments are grants, contributions and \'other transfer payments\'.
Included in this category, but not to be reported under proactive disclosure of awards, are (1) transfers to other levels of government such as Equalization payments as well as Canada Health and Social Transfer payments. (2) Grants and contributions reallocated or otherwise redistributed by the recipient to third parties; and (3) information that would normally be withheld under the Access to Information Act and the Privacy Act.

Automated Modeling of Spoken Language for Language Proficiency Testing
968564
We will develop automatic systems to evaluate the proficiency of non-native learners of French, considering primarily the acoustic-phonetic aspects of speech, rather than the lexical content. We will focus on measures such as fluency (measured by speaking rate), quality of pronunciation, and intelligibility. Higher-level measures of proficiency such as vocabulary sophistication, grammar and topic development will be left to NRC researchers.To evaluate our chosen measures, we will build our own systems for automatic speech recognition (ASR) for French speech, building in the capability to work well on non-native accents. Using our own system will allow us to access to the internal properties of the system, necessary to determine information such as word-level timings, word-level confidence measures, and the deviation of the user from standard pronunciations at the phonetic level, as well as detecting when the user is speaking.Using the extracted measures as input features, we will train downstream classifiers – such as deep neural networks – to predict human judgments of spoken language proficiency on a collection of recordings from language learners. We will further explore whether these classifiers can be trained in a language-independent way, using a collection from learners of English, for example.
