Compression algorithms for speech, audio, still images, and video are quite complicated and, more importantly, nearly always lossy. Thus, samples often change dramatically once they’re decompressed.

With the rapid growth of the volume of image data, the burden of storage and transmission has increased dramatically. However, current algorithms face challenges in balancing compression efficiency ...

Even if you don’t know much about the inner workings of generative AI models, you probably know they need a lot of memory. Hence, it is currently almost impossible to buy a measly stick of RAM without ...

As Large Language Models (LLMs) expand their context windows to process massive documents and intricate conversations, they encounter a brutal hardware reality known as the "Key-Value (KV) cache ...

ADCs and DACs are generating a flood of sampled data that are creating high-speed bottlenecks on busses and in networks. Part 1 of this article described the use of compression algorithms that take ...

The general development of information and communication technologies manifests in medicine as well and contributes to improvement of health care worldwide. It is very important nowadays when we are ...

The internet is saying Google Research developed Pied Piper. Anyone familiar with the popular HBO series, Silicon Valley, will know the fictional company in the show develops an industry-leading ...

The “middle-out” algorithm that has its roots in the most infamous (and probably funniest) scene in HBO’s “Silicon Valley” may have been fictional, but something like it can be found in Lepton, a cool ...

The goal of digital compression algorithms is to produce a digital representation of an audio signal which, when decoded and reproduced, sounds the same as the original signal, while using a minimum ...

Google is open-sourcing a new general purpose data compression library called Zopfli that can be used to speed up Web downloads. The Zopfli Compression Algorithm, which got its name from a Swiss bread ...
