Generalized Segmented GRAND for Guesswork Reduction in Turbo Product Decoding

Lukas Rapp, Jiewei Feng, Muriel Médard +1

The paper proposes GSegGRAND, a generalized version of Segmented GRAND decoding that works with a broader class of codes, incorporates more parity‑check constraints, and provides s…

SOGRAND decoding of LDPC codes

Ken R. Duffy, Jiewei Feng, Lukas Rapp +1

Long forward error correction codes are typically constructed by concatenating shorter component codes that are then decoded through iterative Soft-Input Soft-Output (SISO) of thei…

NOVA: Fundamental Limits of Knowledge Discovery Through AI

Salman Avestimehr, Ken Duffy, Muriel Médard +1

Can AI systems discover new knowledge through iterative self-improvement, and at what cost? We introduce NOVA, which models the ``generate, verify, accumulate, retrain'' loop as an…

The Benefit of Decoder-Provided Pilots in Highly Dynamic Channels

Duschia Bodet, Muriel Médard, Muralidhar Rangaswamy +1

Communications in highly dynamic channels relying on training-based channel estimation experience a trade-off between increasing channel measurement accuracy by sending more freque…

Efficient Soft-Output Guessing for Enhanced Quantum Tanner Code Decoding

Lukas Rapp, Muriel Médard, Eugene Tang +1

We introduce a generalized low-density parity-check decoding framework for quantum Tanner codes utilizing soft-output guessing random additive noise decoding (SOGRAND). By soft-out…

Improving the decoding performance of CA-polar codes

Jiewei Feng, Peihong Yuan, Ken R. Duffy +1

We investigate the use of modern code-agnostic decoders to convert CA-SCL from an incomplete decoder to a complete one. When CA-SCL fails to identify a codeword that passes the CRC…
