Implementation of linear form decoding algorithms. Algorithm B seems quite promising but requires a lot of operations.
The linear form paper is accepted for ISIT and is being updated.
Starting some research with Satish on Polar codes. The idea is to use ideas from coded modulation for the rate-distorion compression of sources. This could be very interesting for e.g. image compression.
Implemented Blahut-Arimoto like algorithm for the computation of the rate-distortion function of arbitrary sources.
Analyzing the linear form decoding algorithm. The questions is if one can say something from a theoretical point of view.
It could be that the linear form decoding algorithm leads to a capacity that is the same as the BICM capacity. This should be proved.
Implemented the linear form decoding algorithms to verify Bertrand's simulations. So far I had only implemented the full BP non-binary algorithms.
