Generalized pair weights of linear codes are generalizations minimum symbol-pair weights, which were introduced by Liu and Pan (2022) recently. can be used to characterize the ability protecting information in read wire-tap channels type II. In this paper, we introduce notion generalized <...

The capability of multilevel input ring-TCM coding scheme for generating high-rate codes with improved symbol Hamming and squared Euclidean distances is demonstrated. The existence of uniform codes and the decoder complexity are also considered.

One of the weak points of the present critics of AI is their lack of an alternative cognitive theory. In the paper the outline of such a theory is sketched, based on (one reading) of Piaget's genetic epistemology. This is used to clarify the ambiguity of the terms 'symbol' and 'representation', thereby making it possible to suggest a reconciliation of the positions of the critics and defenders ...
