Data compression has become a necessity not only the in the field of communication but also in various scientific experiments. The data that is being received is more and the processing time required has also become more. A significant…
Canonical Huffman code is an optimal prefix-free compression code whose codewords enumerated in the lexicographical order form a list of binary words in non-decreasing lengths. Gagie et al. (2015) gave a representation of this coding…
Huffman encoding is often improved by using block codes, for example a 3-block would be an alphabet consisting of each possible combination of three characters. We take the approach of starting with a base alphabet and expanding it to…
The majority of online content is written in languages other than English, and is most commonly encoded in UTF-8, the world's dominant Unicode character encoding. Traditional compression algorithms typically operate on individual bytes.…
Huffman coding is known to be optimal, yet its dynamic version may be even more efficient in practice. A new variant of Huffman encoding has been proposed recently, that provably always performs better than static Huffman coding by at least…
For storing a word or the whole text segment, we need a huge storage space. Typically a character requires 1 Byte for storing it in memory. Compression of the memory is very important for data management. In case of memory requirement…
In this paper, we revisit the classical data compression problem for domain specific texts. It is well-known that classical Huffman algorithm is optimal with respect to prefix encoding and the compression is done at character level. Since…
Let $P = \{p(i)\}$ be a measure of strictly positive probabilities on the set of nonnegative integers. Although the countable number of inputs prevents usage of the Huffman algorithm, there are nontrivial $P$ for which known methods find a…
Today there are many universal compression algorithms, but in most cases is for specific data better using specific algorithm - JPEG for images, MPEG for movies, etc. For textual documents there are special methods based on PPM algorithm or…
Huffman coding finds an optimal prefix code for a given probability mass function. Consider situations in which one wishes to find an optimal code with the restriction that all codewords have lengths that lie in a user-specified set of…
Learning, prediction, and compression are intimately connected: a model that accurately predicts the next symbol in a sequence can be coupled with a source coder to compress that sequence near its information-theoretic limit. When tokenized…
Natural language processing (NLP) models often require a massive number of parameters for word embeddings, resulting in a large storage or memory footprint. Deploying neural NLP models to mobile devices requires compressing the word…
For a given independent and identically distributed (i.i.d.) source, Huffman code achieves the optimal average codeword length in the class of instantaneous code with a single code table. However, it is known that there exist time-variant…
A skeleton Huffman tree is a Huffman tree in which all disjoint maximal perfect subtrees are shrunk into leaves. Skeleton Huffman trees, besides saving storage space, are also used for faster decoding and for speeding up Huffman-shaped…

Graphs have been extensively used to represent data from various domains. In the era of Big Data, information is being generated at a fast pace, and analyzing the same is a challenge. Various methods have been proposed to speed up the…
Efficient optimal prefix coding has long been accomplished via the Huffman algorithm. However, there is still room for improvement and exploration regarding variants of the Huffman problem. Length-limited Huffman coding, useful for many…
In prefix coding over an infinite alphabet, methods that consider specific distributions generally consider those that decline more quickly than a power law (e.g., Golomb coding). Particular power-law distributions, however, model many…
In this paper we investigate the problem of partitioning an input string T in such a way that compressing individually its parts via a base-compressor C gets a compressed output that is shorter than applying C over the entire T at once.…
Huffman compression is a statistical, lossless, data compression algorithm that compresses data by assigning variable length codes to symbols, with the more frequently appearing symbols given shorter codes than the less. This work is a…
