For decisions made under time pressure, effective decision making based on uncertain or ambiguous evidence requires efficient accumulation of evidence over time, as well as appropriately balancing speed and accuracy, known as the speed/accuracy trade-off. For simple unimodal stimuli, previous studies have shown that human subjects set their speed/accuracy trade-off to maximize reward rate. We e...

An important non-classical feature of quantum measurements is the celebrated uncertainty trade-off, namely that the uncertainties in the outcomes of measurements performed on distinct yet identically prepared ensembles of systems cannot all be made arbitrarily small. Recently, we have shown that quantum measurements also exhibit another non-classical feature of disturbance trade-off namely, tha...

This paper draws attention to project trade-offs significance in project management and critically reviews the current state of the knowledge on the elements to be considered and the methods to resolve trade-off decisions. Traditionally the elements to be considered in trade-offs are mainly limited to time and cost and to some extent quality or risk or the well-known Project Triangle. The trade...

In the training of neural networks, there often exists a tradeoff between the time spent optimizing the model under investigation, and its final performance. Ideally, an optimization algorithm finds the model that has best test accuracy from the hypothesis space as fast as possible, and this model is efficient to evaluate at test time as well. However, in practice, there exists a trade-off betw...

This paper discusses a trade-off strategy for small projects and presents a preliminary guidelines for assessing the appropriateness of a trade-off. The motivation of this work is to make the development team aware of the performed trade-offs and to see both the associated opportunities and risks, to assess the appropriateness of a trade-off and to gather information for the future development ...

In real projects, the trade-off between the project cost and the project completion time, and the environmental uncertainty are aspects of considerable importance for managers. For complex environment with more than one type of uncertainty, this paper presents three types of time–cost trade-off models, in which the project environment is described via introducing the fuzzy random theory. The ex...

Due to the content bundling and the dramatic increase of content size, the download performance in peer-to-peer networks has become a research focus again recently. In this paper, we propose a novel approach to improve the download performance based on the classical space-time trade-off. With the approach, a peer can speed up local downloads in peer-to-peer networks by contributing a portion of...
