Abstract: This paper proposes a novel Viterbi-Like successive cancellation (VL-SC) decoding algorithm for polar codes. The algorithm employs the bit log-likelihood-ratio as the “penalty value” within ...

In the era of A.I. agents, many Silicon Valley programmers are now barely programming. Instead, what they’re doing is deeply, deeply weird. Credit...Illustration by Pablo Delcan and Danielle Del Plato ...

Quantum computers—devices that process information using quantum mechanical effects—have long been expected to outperform classical systems on certain tasks. Over the past few decades, researchers ...

Free AI tools Goose and Qwen3-coder may replace a pricey Claude Code plan. Setup is straightforward but requires a powerful local machine. Early tests show promise, though issues remain with accuracy ...

Abstract: This paper introduces an efficient modification to one of the most successful complexity reduction techniques of the Viterbi decoding algorithm; the adaptive Viterbi algorithm. Although the ...
