[Elecraft] New DSP features? ... thanks

[kevinr]

Sounds like a project for a neural network.  A bit of AI which 
'recognizes' patterns.  There would be ~ 40 outputs for letters, 
numbers, and symbols.  I am unsure of the number of inputs nor of the 
middle layer(s) of the net.  But that's just a bit of engineering.

The training sets would consist of a large set of "Lake Erie swing 
music" and expert interpretations of it.  Find a large computer and 
spend a few weeks training the NN.

There are some shortcuts I foresee.  Quite a few characters can't (?) be 
messed up by the misuse of a bug.  T, O, M, etc.  Those don't really 
need to go through the NN so you can save on the number of outputs and 
decrease the training time significantly.

The neat things is once you've done all this work you can put the 
trained NN into a very small space of code.  And use a moderate number 
of processor cycles.

Not quite DSP but AI is just another acronym :)

     73,
