  • Patent number: 11418219
    Abstract: According to one embodiment, a learning device includes a noise generation unit, a decoding unit, a generation unit, and a learning unit. The noise generation unit outputs a second code word which corresponds to a first code word to which noise has been added. The decoding unit decodes the second code word and outputs a third code word. The generation unit generates learning data for learning a weight in message passing decoding in which the weight and a message to be transmitted are multiplied, based on whether or not decoding of the second code word into the third code word has been successful. The learning unit determines a value for the weight in the message passing decoding by using the learning data.
