Compression is performed by a program that uses a formula or algorithm to determine how to shrink the size of the data. For instance, an algorithm may represent a string of bits-- or 0s and 1s -- with ...

Hardware and software compression is transparent to applications and storage hardware. It uses an algorithm to reduce the size of files by eliminating redundant bits. However, if the files have been ...

Lossy compression techniques reduce the size of large scientific datasets by selectively discarding or coarsening data elements that contribute least to the overall information content. Unlike ...

Lossless data compression is an important tool for reducing the storage requirements of the world's ever-growing data sets. Yann Collet developed the LZ4 algorithm and designed the Zstandard (or Zstd) ...

While 'data compression' and 'large-scale language models (LLMs)' may seem like completely different fields, at their core they both aim to solve the same problem: 'data prediction.' Both strive to ...

Researchers led by Takaki Hatsui at the RIKEN SPring-8 Center (RSC) in Japan and collaborators have developed a new approach to compressing X-ray imaging data in real time, reducing the size of data ...
