Abstract: The present disclosure is directed to a data storage device that includes a refresh monitor based on a learning based feedback control. The refresh monitor is used to control refresh operations to account for effects of writes to media, e.g., adjacent track interference (ATI). Read operations are analyzed to derive damage information usable to update one or more probability distributions, upon which the learning is updated or reinforced and carried forward. In one embodiments, the data storage device includes control circuitry configured to maintain a refresh monitor based on a learning system, analyze a read operation with the refresh monitor; adjust the refresh monitor by updating the one or more probability distributions based on the analyzed read operation; and execute a refresh operation to refresh data based on the adjusted refresh monitor.
