Dynamic successive cancellation flip (DSCF) decoding of polar codes is a powerful algorithm that can achieve the error correction performance of successive cancellation list (SCL) decoding, with a complexity that is close to that of successive cancellation (SC) decoding at practical signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) regimes. However, DSCF decoding requires costly transcendental computations which adversely affect its implementation complexity. In this paper, we first show that a direct application of common approximation schemes on the conventional DSCF decoding results in significant error-correction performance loss. We then introduce a training parameter and propose an approximation scheme which completely removes the need to perform transcendental computations in DSCF decoding, with almost no error-correction performance degradation.
