In this paper, we study the hardness of decoding a random code endowed with the cover metric. As the cover metric lies in between the Hamming and rank metric, it presents itself as a promising candidate for code-based cryptography. We give…

In this work, we propose a new soft-input soft-output decoder called soft-output from covered space (SOCS) decoder. It estimates the a posteriori reliability based on the space explored by a list decoder, i.e., the set of vectors for which…

Standard conformal prediction offers a marginal guarantee on coverage, but for prediction sets to be truly useful, they should ideally ensure coverage conditional on each test point. Unfortunately, it is impossible to achieve exact,…
