* The Viterbi algorithm ( used for hidden Markov models )

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.

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

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

In 1967 he invented the Viterbi algorithm, which he used for decoding convolutionally encoded data.

Viterbi earned it for " the invention of the Viterbi algorithm ".< ref >

A Viterbi decoder uses the Viterbi algorithm for decoding a bitstream that has been

Viterbi decoding was developed by Andrew J. Viterbi and published in the paper " Error Bounds for Convolutional Codes and an Asymptotically Optimum Decoding Algorithm ", IEEE Transactions on Information Theory, Volume IT-13, pages 260-269, in April, 1967.

A hardware Viterbi decoder for basic ( not punctured ) code usually consists of the following major blocks:

The Information Sciences Institute ( ISI ) is a research and development unit of the University of Southern California's Viterbi School of Engineering which focuses on computer and communications technology and information processing.

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

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

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.

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.

* 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.

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

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

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 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.

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.

Coins could be counterfeited, but they also created a new unit of account, which helped lead to banking.

The introduction of missile weapons that required less skill than the longbow, such as the crossbow and hand cannon, also helped remove the focus somewhat from cavalry elites to masses of cheap infantry equipped with easy-to-learn weapons.
