We consider transmission over a binary-input additive white Gaussian noise channel using low-density parity-check codes. One of the most popular techniques for decoding low-density parity-check codes is the linear programming decoder. In…

Modern language models operate on subword-tokenized text in order to make a trade-off between model size, inference speed, and vocabulary coverage. A side effect of this is that, during inference, models are evaluated by measuring the…

This paper is motivated by the problem of error control in network coding when errors are introduced in a random fashion (rather than chosen by an adversary). An additive-multiplicative matrix channel is considered as a model for random…
