Let G be a plane graph of n nodes, m edges, f faces, and no self-loop. G need not be connected or simple (i.e., free of multiple edges). We give three sets of coding schemes for G which all take O(m+n) time for encoding and decoding. Our…
We show how to build an alphabetic minimax tree for a sequence (W = w_1, >..., w_n) of real weights in (O (n d \log \log n)) time, where $d$ is the number of distinct integers (\lceil w_i \rceil). We apply this algorithm to building an…
Consider the computations at a node in a message passing algorithm. Assume that the node has incoming and outgoing messages $\mathbf{x} = (x_1, x_2, \ldots, x_n)$ and $\mathbf{y} = (y_1, y_2, \ldots, y_n)$, respectively. In this paper, we…
Polar codes are a class of capacity-achieving error correcting codes that have been selected for use in enhanced mobile broadband in the 3GPP 5th generation (5G) wireless standard. Most polar code research examines the original Arikan polar…
We introduce harmonization, an ensembling method that combines several "noisy" decoders to generate highly accurate decoding predictions. Harmonized ensembles of MWPM-based decoders achieve lower logical error rates than their individual…
