check out [Greg Kennedy]’s Lossy Text Compression which simply, brilliantly, and amusingly uses a thesaurus instead of some fancy algorithms. Yep, it just swaps longer words for shorter ones.

Data compression methods ... data compressors (e.g., bzip for text, JPEG-2000 for images)." The basic idea behind the researchers' data compression algorithm is that if an LLM knows what a user ...

When an algorithm or model can accurately guess ... The underlying premise is that a highly efficient compression of text would require understanding the semantic and syntactic patterns in ...

Classic compression algorithms are compact ... For instance, the researchers found that while gzip can compress 1GB of text in less than a minute on a CPU, an LLM with 3.2 million parameters ...

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 ...

The text-to-image AI model is incredibly popular ... Stable Diffusion could have a future as a powerful image compression algorithm. Matthias Bühlmann, a self-described "software engineer ...
