Inventor Ariel DOUBCHAK

Brief explanation

The abstract describes a method for correcting data stored in a memory device. The method involves using an iterative decoder to attempt to correct the data. The total number of rows in the data that the decoder attempted to correct is determined. Then, an estimation is made to identify the rows that still have errors after the decoder's attempt (called first visible error rows) and the rows that no longer have errors (called residual error rows). 

Next, a second set of data from the decoder is analyzed to identify the rows that continue to have errors. This is done by permuting the indices of the residual error rows according to a specific permutation. Finally, the first set of data is corrected using the identified first visible error rows.

Abstract
