{ A single chip system for real{time MPEG{2 decoding can be created by integrating a dual{issue RISC processor with a small dedicated hardware for the variable length decoding (VLD) and block loading processes; a 32KB instruction RAM; and a 16KB data RAM. The VLD hardware performs the Huuman decoding on the input data. The block loader performs the half{sample prediction for motion compensation...

This paper presents collaborative decoding (co-decoding), a new method to improve machine translation accuracy by leveraging translation consensus between multiple machine translation decoders. Different from system combination and MBR decoding, which postprocess the n-best lists or word lattice of machine translation decoders, in our method multiple machine translation decoders collaborate by ...

This paper describes a turbo decoder for 3GPP Long Term Evolution Advanced (LTE-A) standard, using a Max LOG MAP algorithm, implemented on Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA). Taking advantage of the quadratic permutation polynomial (QPP) interleaver proprieties and considering some FPGA block memory characteristics, a simplified parallel decoding architecture is proposed. It should be used es...

A decade after it was shown that the orientation of visual grating stimuli can be decoded from human visual cortex activity by means of multivariate pattern classification of BOLD fMRI data, numerous studies have investigated which aspects of neuronal activity are reflected in BOLD response patterns and are accessible for decoding. However, it remains inconclusive what the effect of acquisition...

In this paper, two new hybrid algorithms are proposed for decoding Low Density Parity Check (LDPC) codes. Original version of the proposed algorithms named Search Based Weighted Multi Bit Flipping (SWMBF). The main idea of these algorithms is flipping variable multi bits in each iteration, change in which leads to the syndrome vector with least hamming weight. To achieve this, the proposed algo...

Causal terminology is often introduced in the interpretation of encoding and decoding models trained on neuroimaging data. In this article, we investigate which causal statements are warranted and which ones are not supported by empirical evidence. We argue that the distinction between encoding and decoding models is not sufficient for this purpose: relevant features in encoding and decoding mo...

In this paper, we explore the impacts of utilizing intelligent reflecting surfaces (IRS) in a power-splitting based simultaneous wireless information and power transfer (PS-SWIPT) system and compare its performance with the traditional decode and forward relaying system. To analyze a more practical system, it is also assumed that the receiving nodes are subject to decoding cost, and they are on...

A Digital Fountain is an approach used to provide reliability in multicast networks without the use of receiver initiated packet retransmissions. Prior work to Digital Fountain has shown that use of receiver initiated retransmissions to recover lost data is unscalable in multicast networks and the impact is significant in lossy networks. Instead, like many other techniques that transmit redunda...

The security of code-based cryptography relies primarily on the hardness generic decoding with linear codes. best algorithms are all improvements an old algorithm due to Prange: they known under name information set decoders (ISD). A while ago, a which does not belong this family was proposed: statistical decoding. It is randomized that requires computation large parity-checks moderate weight, ...
