A File-Compressor based on Huffman Coding, a lossless, bottom-up compression algorithm, built using C++ that can compress and decompress any text files.

A blockchain startup is claiming it has developed an algorithm that can dramatically reduce the size of digital files. If its technology is legit, it would help reduce the size of files 10,000 times – ...

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 ...

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 ...

Google just launched Zopfli, a new open source compression algorithm that can compress web content about 3 to eight 8 more densely (PDF) than the standard zlib library. Because Zopfli is compatible ...

Efficient data compression and transmission are crucial in space missions due to restricted resources, such as bandwidth and storage capacity. This requires efficient data-compression methods that ...

Digitized mammograms are actually interpreted more accurately by radiologists once they have been "compressed." Though compression strips away much of the original data, it still leaves intact those ...

Google has announced that it has developed a new open source encoder called "Guetzli" for compression of JPEG files. The algorithm used by the company allows it to compress JPEGs by up to 35% more ...

WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. - When it comes to the information in a mammogram, Purdue scientists say less is more - and their findings could bring medical care to many far-flung communities. A team of ...
