The information bottleneck method is a generic clustering framework from the fieldof machine learning which allows compressing an observed quantity while retaining as much ofthe mutual information it shares with the quantity of primary relevance as possible. The frameworkwas recently used to design message-passing decoders for low-density parity-check codes in whichall the arithmetic operations on log-likelihood ratios are replaced by table lookups of unsignedintegers. This paper presents, in detail, the application of the information bottleneck method to polarcodes, where the framework is used to compress the virtual bit channels defined in the code structureand show that the benefits are twofold. On the one hand, the compression restricts the outputalphabet of the bit channels to a manageable size. This facilitates computing the capacities of the bitchannels in order to identify the ones with larger capacities. On the other hand, the intermediatesteps of the compression process can be used to replace the log-likelihood ratio computations inthe decoder with table lookups of unsigned integers. Hence, a single procedure produces a polarencoder as well as its tailored, quantized decoder. Moreover, we also use a technique called messagealignment to reduce the space complexity of the quantized decoder obtained using the informationbottleneck framework.
Z innia (Zinnia elegans) belongs to the family Asteraceae. It is a summer annual cut flower and getting popular due to its several colorful blooms. It is originated from Central America and Mexico. "Blue Point" and "Oklahoma" are the most grown zinnia cultivars are considered the colorfully blooms and better performance (Dole, 1999). Zinnia is annual and perennial plants and its flowers display uniform colors, bright, strong stems with long vase life and disease resistant plants. Zinnia is the most familiar species and a plant of hot and warm climate. Conventionally, taller cultivars of Zinnia are used in beds and borders, for cut flowers but the dwarf cultivars in window planters, and containers ( Jana and Pal, 1991). Zinnia is propagated through seeds and seeds are directly sown in pots, and then transplanted in to field. Zinnia required 23-27 o C for germination in five to seven days.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
