Decoder architectures for architecture-aware Raptor codes having regular message access-and-processing patterns are presented. Raptor codes are a class of concatenated codes compo...
Models such as pairwise conditional random fields (CRFs) are extremely popular in computer vision and various other machine learning disciplines. However, they have limited expre...
We present new explicit constructions of deterministic randomness extractors, dispersers and related objects. We say that a distribution X on binary strings of length n is a -sour...
