In this work, we propose a neural adjusted min-sum (NAMS) decoder for low-density parity-check (LDPC) codes. In particular, we improve the traditional normalized min-sum (NMS) decoder by introducing a selection mechanism to adjust the check-node update step, where either the min-sum rule or the belief propagation (BP) rule is selected. Besides, we unfold the modified decoder into a model-driven neural network, where layer-dependent trainable parameters are introduced as weights in the Tanner graph and optimized by gradient descent-based methods during network training. Simulation results demonstrate that the proposed NAMS decoder is able to provide superior error-correction performance as compared to the neural NMS decoder, with only slightly increased computational complexity. Moreover, in certain circumstances, the proposed NAMS decoder even outperforms the neural BP decoder, with much lower computational complexity.
