In this paper we present a flexible and efficient approach to perform an accurate speech recognition interface for isolated command applications in three different languages: Mandarin, Cantonese and English. The paper analyzes and discusses the different trade-offs necessary to obtain an accurate, real-time system with low memory requirements. Areas addressed are design of the training database...

Cryptanalytic time-memory trade-offs were introduced by Hellman in 1980 in order to perform key-recovery attacks on cryptosystems. A major advance was presented at Crypto 2003 by Oechslin, with the rainbow table variant that outperforms Hellman’s seminal work. This paper introduces the fingerprint tables, which drastically reduce the number of false alarms during the attack compared to the rain...

Central aspects of emotional experiences are often well remembered at the expense of background details. Previous studies of such memory trade-offs have focused on memory after brief delays, but little is known about how these components of emotional memories change over time. We investigated the evolution of memory for negative scenes across 30 min, 12 daytime hours spent awake, and 12 nightti...

While to minimize the overall project cost is always one of the objectives of construction managers, to obtain the maximum economic return is definitely one the ultimate goals of the project investors. As there is a trade-off relationship between the project time and cost, and the project delivery time directly affects the timing of economic recovery of an investment project, to provide a metho...

It is now widely accepted that biochemical reaction networks can perform computations. Examples are kinetic proof reading, gene regulation, or signalling networks. For many of these systems it was found that their computational performance is limited by a trade-off between the metabolic cost, the speed and the accuracy of the computation. In order to gain insight into the origins of these trade...

In-memory Computing (IMC) is the new trend for enabling high-performance computation and fast data processing. It is currently being used for large enterprises, e-commerce shops who need real-time interactions, low latency responses and instant results. Given the enhancement of the IMC, we apply this new paradigm to the Virtual Desktop Environment (VDE), and look into the performance difference...

The memory system is the key to performance in contemporary computer systems. When designing a new memory system, architectural decisions are often arbitrated based on their expected performance effect. It is therefore very important to make performance estimates based on workloads that accurately reflect the future use of the system. This thesis presents the first memory system characterizatio...
