RealTime Data Compression

 With last blog post , we were left with a description of the FSE compression algorithm. However, the code associated was a bit cryptic. S...

 In previous article , we learned how to determine the number of bits to write, and which bits to write, when encoding a symbol using F...

 Quite unusually, we have started this serie on FSE by focusing on the decompression part. It may seem strange to try to decode a data we...

 With all the previous articles written on FSE , it seems we now have all elements to build a complete FSE decoder. Let's wrap up all th...

 Following the last article on defining optimal sub-ranges for FSE , and attributing them according to symbol ranking, we were left wi...

Note : Charles Bloom started an independent  in-depth analysis of ANS on his blog, which is definitely worth the read.  As stated in...

  Arithmetic encoding was invented in the 70's by Jorma Rissanen. After a few decades during which the technique almost stagnated, pa...

 In this serie explaining the behavior of Finite State Entropy , I find it interesting to make a quick comparison with  Huffman entropy...
