When designers talk about data compression these days, typically they are thinking about highly-evolved lossy compression algorithms for particular media data types: MP-3 for audio, for example, or ...

A team of researchers at ETH Zurich are working on a novel approach to solving increasingly large graph problems. Large graphs are a basis of many problems in social sciences (e.g., studying human ...

Compression is the science of making data representations smaller, in order to decrease the data's bandwidth and storage requirements. Compression applications are everywhere: in computers (WinZip and ...

It used to be that memory and storage space were so precious and so limited of a resource that handling nontrivial amounts of text was a serious problem. Text compression was a highly practical ...
