Error-correcting codes and neural networks

Error-correcting codes and neural networks

Encoding, transmission and decoding of information are ubiquitous in biology and human history: from DNA transcription to spoken/written languages and languages of sciences. During the last decades, the study of neural networks in brain performing their multiple tasks was providing more and more detailed pictures of (fragments of) this activity. Mathematical models of this multifaceted process ...

neural classifier ensemble using error-correcting output codes: access control application

abstract biometric access control is an automatic system that intelligently provides the access of special actions to predefined individuals. it may use one or more unique features of humans, like fingerprint, iris, gesture, 2d and 3d face images. 2d face image is one of the important features with useful and reliable information for recognition of individuals and systems based on this ...

Synchronizable Error-Correcting Codes

A new technique for correcting synchronization errors in the transmission of discrete-symbol information is developed. The technique can be applied to any t-additive-error-correcting Bose-Chaudhuri-Hocquenghem code, to provide protection against synchronization errors. The synchronization error is corrected at the first complete received word after the word containing the synchronization error,...

Parallel error correcting codes

Error-Correcting Codes

Transmission of information takes place over “noisy” signals. This is the case in satellite transmissions and storing data. For this reason, it is useful to encode information so that errors can be detected and corrected. For our purposes, we will assume all information to be encoded constists of words of fixed length k using symbols from a fixed alphabet, and all encoded messages are divided i...
