Decoding Reed-Muller codes by multi-layer perceptrons

The decoding of rth-order Reed-Muller codes of blocklength 2 m capable of correcting up to (1/2)2 m−r — 1 errors, by use of multi-layer perceptrons is illustrated The multi-layer perceptrons used have all their weights either + 1 or − 1 and all thresholds integers, thus making them very suitable for hardware implementation. © 1993 Taylor & Francis Ltd.
