Abstract
SC-Flip (SCF) decoding algorithm shares the attention with the common polar code decoding approaches due to its low-complexity and improved error-correction performance. However, the inefficient criterion for locating the correct bit-flipping position in SCF decoding limits its improvements. Due to its improved bit-flipping criterion, Thresholded SCF (TSCF) decoding algorithm exhibits a superior error-correction performance and lower computational complexity than SCF decoding. However, the parameters of TSCF decoding depend on multiple channel and code parameters, and are obtained via Monte-Carlo simulations. Our main goal is to realize TSCF decoding as a practical polar decoder implementation. To this end, we first realize an approximated threshold value that is independent of the code parameters and precomputations. The proposed approximation has negligible error-correction performance degradation on the TSCF decoding. Then, we validate an alternative approach for forming a critical set that does not require precomputations, which also paves the way to the implementation of the Fast-TSCF decoder. Compared to the existing fast SCF implementations, the proposed Fast-TSCF decoder has 0.24 to 0.41 dB performance gain at frame error rate of 10-3, without any extra cost. Compared to the TSCF decoding, Fast-TSCF does not depend on precomputations and requires 87% fewer decoding steps. Finally, implementation results in TSMC 65nm CMOS technology show that the Fast-TSCF decoder is 20% and 82% more area-efficient than the state-of-the-art fast SCF and fast SC-List decoder architectures, respectively.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
