The USC Viterbi School of Engineering celebrated its 100th birthday in conjunction with the university's 125th birthday.

The Viterbi School of Engineering is currently ranked No. 11 nationally by U. S. News and World Report.

Previously known as the USC School of Engineering, it was renamed on March 2, 2004, as the Andrew and Erna Viterbi School of Engineering in honor of Qualcomm co-founder Andrew Viterbi and his wife Erna, who had recently donated $ 52 million to the school.

The Viterbi School received other major gifts including gifts from Silicon Valley venture capitalist Mark Stevens who created the USC Stevens Institute for Innovation in 2004 ; real estate developer Daniel J. Epstein who named the Epstein Department of Industrial and Systems Engineering with an $ 11 million gift in 2002 ; Energy Corporation of America CEO John Mork who named the Mork Family Department of Chemical Engineering and Materials Science with a $ 15 million gift in 2005 ; Ken Klein, CEO and president of Wind River Systems, who established the Klein Institute for Undergraduate Engineering Life with an $ 11 million gift, also in 2005 ; Ming Hsieh, founder of Cogent Inc., who named the Ming Hsieh Department of Electrical Engineering in 2006 with a $ 35 million gift ; and Los Angeles real estate developer Sonny Astani, who named the Sonny Astani Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering with a $ 17 million gift in 2007.

Among the many organizations on campus, the Associated Students of Biomedical Engineering ( ASBME ) is an undergraduate student organization for biomedical engineering students at the USC Viterbi School of Engineering.

The Viterbi Graduate Students ' Association ( VGSA ) is the students ' body for about 3, 300 Graduate students at USC.

The Team participates in the TEAMS ( Test of Engineering Aptitude, Mathematics, and Science ) Competition that occurs annually in March and is hosted and sponsored by the Viterbi School of Engineering at the University of Southern California ( USC ).

For relatively small values of k, the Viterbi algorithm is universally used as it provides maximum likelihood performance and is highly parallelizable.

Unlike Viterbi decoding, sequential decoding is not maximum likelihood but its complexity increases only slightly with constraint length, allowing the use of strong, long-constraint-length codes.

* Longer constraint lengths produce more powerful codes, but the complexity of the Viterbi algorithm increases exponentially with constraint lengths, limiting these more powerful codes to deep space missions where the extra performance is easily worth the increased decoder complexity.

A common approach is to use a variant of the Viterbi algorithm.

Typically, the frame is decoded at each possible rate, and using the quality metrics of the Viterbi decoder, the correct result is chosen.

The Viterbi algorithm is a dynamic programming algorithm for finding the most likely sequence of hidden states – called the Viterbi path – that results in a sequence of observed events, especially in the context of Markov information sources and hidden Markov models.

For example, in statistical parsing a dynamic programming algorithm can be used to discover the single most likely context-free derivation ( parse ) of a string, which is sometimes called the " Viterbi parse ".

The Viterbi parse is the most likely derivation ( parse ) of the sequence by the given SCFG.

The Viterbi algorithm is the optimum algorithm used to decode convolutional codes.

Andrew James Viterbi ( born Andrea James Viterbi ; March 9, 1935 ) is an Italian-American electrical engineer and businessman who co-founded Qualcomm Inc.

He was also the co-founder of Qualcomm Inc. with Dr. Jacobs in 1985., he is the president of the venture capital company The Viterbi Group.

It is known that the Viterbi algorithm is unable to calculate APP, thus it cannot be used in.

For, the Viterbi algorithm is an appropriate one.

A similar algorithm is commonly referred to as the Viterbi algorithm, but also known as the max-product or min-sum algorithm, which solves the related problem of maximization, or most probable explanation.

* Apply a sequence detector at the receiver, that attempts to estimate the sequence of transmitted symbols using the Viterbi algorithm.

Viterbi was later a professor of electrical engineering at UCLA and UCSD.

However, being based on trellis codes, they are more complex than STBCs to encode and decode ; they rely on a Viterbi decoder at the receiver where STBCs need only linear processing.

Viterbi was born in Bergamo, Italy to Jewish parents and emigrated with them in 1939 to the United States as a refugee.

Viterbi decoders are thus easy to implement in VLSI hardware and in software on CPUs with SIMD instruction sets.

Both Viterbi and sequential decoding algorithms return hard-decisions: the bits that form the most likely codeword.

An approximate confidence measure can be added to each bit by use of the Soft output Viterbi algorithm.

The Viterbi decoder implements a soft-decision algorithm to demodulate digital data from an analog signal corrupted by noise.

The terms " Viterbi path " and " Viterbi algorithm " are also applied to related dynamic programming algorithms that discover the single most likely explanation for an observation.

The Viterbi algorithm was proposed by Andrew Viterbi in 1967 as a decoding algorithm for convolutional codes over noisy digital communication links.

The Viterbi algorithm finds the most likely string of text given the acoustic signal.

The Viterbi path can be retrieved by saving back pointers that remember which state was used in the second equation.

A variant of the CYK algorithm finds the Viterbi parse of a sequence for a given SCFG.
