Abstract: A method and device for energy-efficient decoders. The decoder device can include a plurality of decoder modules configured to process an input data signal having a plurality of forward error correction (FEC) codewords. This plurality of decoder modules can include at least a first decoder followed by a second decoder. The first decoder can be low-power to first eliminate most of the errors of the codewords and the second decoder can be high-performance to correct the remaining errors. Alternatively, the first decoder can be high-performance to correct the codewords until the low-power decoder can correct the remaining errors. A classifier module can be included to determine portions of the codewords to be directed to any one of the plurality of decoder modules. These implementations can be extended to use additional decoders with different decoding algorithms and optimized to maximize decoder performance given a maximum power constraint.

Abstract: A method for modelling a shape of data in a GAN comprising a generator agent (G) for generating synthetic data (110, 220) and a discriminator agent (D) for distinguishing between the generated synthetic data (120, 220) and real original data (110) that follow an arbitrary, continuous or discrete, distribution defined by a n-dimensional vector of input variables xi. The method, before generating output synthetic data (220), computes an Inverse Smirnov transformation fSi?1 for each of the n input variables xi and attaches an activation function (200) to the generator agent (G), wherein the activation function (200) is a n-dimensional vector faG formed by the computed Inverse Smirnov transformations, faG=(fS1?1, fS2?1, . . . , fSn?1). The GAN implementing the method generates the output synthetic data (220) using the activation function (200) which outputs synthetic data (220) with a distribution (420, 420?) whose shape is the same as the arbitraty distribution of the original data (110).
