Abstract

In various embodiments of the present invention, a binary mask corresponding to a noisy symbol sequence is produced to indicate which of the symbols in the noisy symbol sequence has potentially been modified, or altered, by a noisy channel. DUDE, DUDE-CTI, and other denoising methods are modified to employ the bit mask in order to avoid the computational overhead and potential errors incurred in attempting to denoise symbols that are not likely to have been altered by the noisy channel.
