Column Twisted Reed-Solomon Codes as MDS Codes
In this paper, we study column twisted Reed-Solomon(TRS) codes. We establish some conditions for column TRS codes to be MDS codes and show that the dimension of their Schur square codes is $2k$. Consequently, these TRS codes are not equivalent to Reed-Solomon(RS) codes. Moreover, this construction method provides more flexible parameters compared to previous twisted generalized Reed-Solomon(TGRS) code constructions. For large odd prime power $q$, different from the systematically constructed TG…

The Future of Weather Prediction Is Here. Maybe.
Thanks to A.I., companies like WindBorne hope to usher in a golden age of forecasting. But they rely in part on government data — and the agency that provides it is in turmoil.

Trace duality and additive complementary pairs of additive cyclic codes over finite chain rings
This paper investigates the algebraic structure of additive complementary pairs of cyclic codes over a finite commutative ring. We demonstrate that for every additive complementary pair of additive cyclic codes, both constituent codes are free modules. Moreover, we present a necessary and sufficient condition for a pair of additive cyclic codes over a finite commutative ring to form an additive complementary pair. Finally, we construct a complementary pair of additive cyclic codes over a finite…

HiKO: A Hierarchical Framework for Beyond-Second-Order KO Codes
This paper introduces HiKO (Hierarchical Kronecker Operation), a novel framework for training high-rate neural error-correcting codes that enables KO codes to outperform Reed-Muller codes beyond second order. To our knowledge, this is the first attempt to extend KO codes beyond second order. While conventional KO codes show promising results for low-rate regimes ($r < 2$), they degrade at higher rates -- a critical limitation for practical deployment. Our framework incorporates three key innova…
