Effective compression is about finding patterns to make data smaller without losing information. When an algorithm or model can accurately guess the next piece of data in a sequence, it shows it’s ...

It used to be that memory and storage space were so precious and so limited of a resource that handling nontrivial amounts of text was a serious problem. Text compression was a highly practical ...

Lossless compression is used for applications where the original data must be fully restored following decompression. Examples of applications requiring lossless compression include network data, ...

I see awful diminishing returns here. (Lossless) compression of today isn't really that much better than products from the 80s and early 90s - stacker (wasn't it?), pkzip, tar, gz. You get maybe a few ...

There are many claims in the air about the capabilities of AI systems, as the technology continues to ascend the dizzy heights of the hype cycle. Some of them are true, others stretch definitions a ...
