For example, I can make a 256 kB text file, containing over 260,000 identical characters, and use a file compression tool and the Lempel–Ziv–Markov chain algorithm (LMZA) to squash it down to ...

Cloud syncing and sharing software company Dropbox today announced that it has released an image compression algorithm called Lepton under an Apache open source license on GitHub.

Google has released a new data compression algorithm it hopes will make the Internet faster for everyone. Dubbed Zopfli, the open-source algorithm will accelerate data transfer speeds and reduce ...

Other uses for the algorithm could be for super simple video compression, for applications where resource is tight and some low-effort bandwidth reduction would be beneficial.

For example, I can make a 256 kb text file, containing over 260,000 identical characters, and use a file compression tool and the Lempel–Ziv–Markov chain algorithm (LMZA) to squash it down to ...

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 ...

Google's new open-source image compression algorithm promises to reduce JPEG file sizes by 35 percent more than other methods.

These Engineers Just Built Their Own “Pied Piper” Compression Algorithm A team of engineers at Dropbox’s Hack Week re-created the fictional compression schema from HBO’s Silicon Valley.
