Choosing the Right Threshold for Cross-entropy-based Stopping Criteria

چکیده
Cross-entropy (CE)-based stopping criteria for turbo iterative decoding are known to outperform fixed-iteration stopping criteria at high signal-to-noise ratios (SNRs). While CE-based stopping criteria have a range of thresholds, a highvalue threshold for small frame sizes, and vice versa, should be used. It is difficult to advocate the value that can be categorized as either a small or large frame size. Moreover, thresholds may be specific for different SNRs. Hence, this paper provides a systematic analysis of threshold selection for the respective frame sizes of well-known CE-based stopping criteria. In this work, a range of thresholds was simulated for their error performance and required average number of iterations. To reduce complexity in the average iteration number, these results are thoroughly analysed and a suitable threshold for each CE-based stopping criterion in the specific SNR region is proposed.

Comparing different stopping criteria for fuzzy decision tree induction through IDFID3
Fuzzy Decision Tree (FDT) classifiers combine decision trees with approximate reasoning offered by fuzzy representation to deal with language and measurement uncertainties. When a FDT induction algorithm utilizes stopping criteria for early stopping of the tree's growth, threshold values of stopping criteria will control the number of nodes. Finding a proper threshold value for a stopping crite...
متن کاملTwo simple stopping criteria for turbo decoding
This paper presents two simple and effective criteria for stopping the iteration process in turbo decoding with a negligible degradation of the error performance. Both criteria are devised based on the cross-entropy (CE) concept. They are as efficient as the CE criterion, but require much less and simpler computations.
متن کاملCross Entropy-Based High-Impedance Fault Detection Algorithm for Distribution Networks
The low fault current of high-impedance faults (HIFs) is one of the main challenges for the protection of distribution networks. The inability of conventional overcurrent relays in detecting these faults results in electric arc continuity that it causes the fire hazard and electric shock and poses a serious threat to human life and network equipment. This paper presents an HIF detection algori...
متن کاملHandling Redundancy in Ensembles of Learned Models Using Principal Components
When combining a set of learned models to form an improved estimator, the issue of redundancy in the set of models must be addressed. Existing methods for addressing this problem have failed to perform robustly, especially as the redundancy in the set of learned models increases. Recently, a variant of principal components regression, PCR*, demonstrated that these limitations could be overcome ...
متن کاملOptimized stopping criteria for tree-based unit selection in concatenative synthesis
The lack of naturalness hampers the widespread application of speech synthesis. Increasing the size of the unit database in a concatenative speech synthesizer has been proposed as a method to increase the variety of units—thereby improving naturalness. However, expanding the unit database increases the computational cost of selecting the most appropriate unit and compounds the risk that a perce...
