Abstract
A general method of constructing error correcting binary group codes is obtained. A binary group code with n places, k of which are information places is called an (n,k) code. An explicit method of constructing t-error correcting (n,k) codes is given for n = 2m−1 and k = 2m−1−R(m,t) ≧ 2m−1−mt where R(m,t) is a function of m and t which cannot exceed mt. An example is worked out to illustrate the method of construction.

Low-Density Parity-Check Codes

TL;DR: A simple but nonoptimum decoding scheme operating directly from the channel a posteriori probabilities is described and the probability of error using this decoder on a binary symmetric channel is shown to decrease at least exponentially with a root of the block length.

Solving multiclass learning problems via error-correcting output codes

TL;DR: In this article, error-correcting output codes are employed as a distributed output representation to improve the performance of decision-tree algorithms for multiclass learning problems, such as C4.5 and CART.

In Defense of One-Vs-All Classification

TL;DR: It is argued that a simple "one-vs-all" scheme is as accurate as any other approach, assuming that the underlying binary classifiers are well-tuned regularized classifiers such as support vector machines.

Low-density parity-check codes based on finite geometries: a rediscovery and new results

TL;DR: Long extended finite-geometry LDPC codes have been constructed and they achieve a performance only a few tenths of a decibel away from the Shannon theoretical limit with iterative decoding.

Error detecting and error correcting codes

TL;DR: The author was led to the study given in this paper from a consideration of large scale computing machines in which a large number of operations must be performed without a single error in the end result.

A class of binary signaling alphabets

TL;DR: A class of binary signaling alphabets called “group alphABets” is described, which are generalizations of Hamming's error correcting codes and possess the following special features: all letters are treated alike in transmission; the encoding is simple to instrument; maximum likelihood detection is relatively simple to Instrument.

Multiple error correction by means of parity checks

TL;DR: It is shown that the characteristics of a n-place binary parity check code have the essential property that any subset of 2e of them are linearly independent.
