	   Here is your example:

indeed.

	   We have shown through computer simulations, that our ANN is
	   better
   than conventional systems in correcting word errors during the
   decoding of block codes.

note, some conventional systems.

   Our soft-decision ANN outperforms standard hard-decision decoding
   by two orders of magnitude (100) at a SNR of 7dB using a (15,5)
   Cyclic Redundany Code.

outperforms?  in price performance?  or only in terms of accuracy?
does the original method require specialized hardware, too?  or is the
specialized hardware only needed for high bit rates.

have you tried other non-linear interpolation techniques?

are preprints available?
