INPUT STRING [14 records]

Record 1 2025-03-31

English

Subject field(s)
  • Artificial Intelligence
  • Collaboration with WIPO
CONT

Speech recognition typically involves a signal processing stage in which a plurality of word string hypotheses, i. e., possible word sequences, are proposed for the input signal. The task is then to recognize or identify the "best" word string from a set of hypotheses, i. e., proposed word strings consistent with the input signal. Speech recognition systems utilize a language model for such a purpose.

OBS

word string; word sequence: designations validated by Canadian subject-field experts from Concordia University, Dalhousie University, Laval University and Microsoft Canada.

Record 8 1998-02-20

English

Subject field(s)
  • IT Security
OBS

The SHA-1 [Secure Hash Algorithm] is used to compute a message digest for a message or data file that is provided as input. The message or data file should be considered to be a bit string. The length of the message is the number of bits in the message(the empty message has length 0). If the number of bits in a message is a multiple of 8, for compactness we can represent the message in hex. The purpose of message padding is to make the total length of a padded message a multiple of 512. The SHA-1 sequentially processes blocks of 512 bits when computing the message digest.

OBS

Padding. In cryptography, the additional characters added to a plaintext message, to ensure that its length is an integral number of blocks for encryption by a block cipher.
