A team of engineers at Dropbox’s Hack Week re-created the fictional compression schema from HBO’s Silicon Valley. You would be forgiven for thinking that the elevator pitch for Daniel Reiter Horn’s ...

[Dominic Szablewski] was tinkering around with compressing RGB images, when he stumbled upon idea of how to make a simple lossless compression algorithm, resulting in the Quite OK Image Format, which ...

A group of MIT researchers believe they’ve found a way to speed up audio, video, and image compression by improving on the Fourier Transform. They say the new algorithm is up to ten times faster than ...

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 ...
