Abstract
We apply both the unsupervised and supervised
machine learning (ML) methods, in particular, the k-means
clustering and support vector machine (SVM) to improve the
performance of the optical communication system based on the
nonlinear Fourier transform (NFT). The NFT system employs the
continuous NFT spectrum part to carry data up to 1000 km using
the 16-QAM OFDM modulation. We classify the performance of
the system in terms of BER versus signal power dependence.
We show that the NFT system performance can be improved
considerably by means of the ML techniques and that the
more advanced SVM method typically outperforms the k-means
clustering.
