Brains apply "data compression" to maximize performance and minimize cost when making decisions, according to a study published Monday that could affect future research into artificial intelligence.

Their proposed method, outlined in a paper published in Nature Machine Intelligence, was found to be significantly more powerful than classical data compression algorithms. "In January 2023, when ...

It is generally thought that the brain compresses information to effectively process sensory data as it continuously flows in. Now, scientists have discovered it may be using the same trick for ...

These benefits stem from both reducing data movement due to compression, and offloading expensive traversal and (de)compression operations.” Y. Yang, J. S. Emer and D. Sanchez, “SpZip: Architectural ...

And for EZ, which is the data reduction project, our objective is, in the next 12 months, to improve the compression performance. So the first thing we’ll do is to provide the parallel version of SZ, ...

There are two categories of data compression. The first reduces the size of a single file to save storage space and transmit faster. The second is for storage and transmission convenience. The ...

Lossless data-compression programs search through documents for redundant or repetitive data and then encode it. For example, a text document may contain 200 empty spaces, 100 instances of the ...

Data Compression Strategies Table 27-1 shows two different ways that data compression algorithms can be categorized. In (a), the methods have been classified as either lossless or lossy. A lossless ...

Data compression is the science of shrinking. Compression makes the data that creates images, sounds, video and even text small enough to be sent through telephone wires--the network of the Internet.

However, one customer, ServiceU, estimated it would save between $25-$50K in its first year using SQL Server 2008 Data Compression. Now, that news will even make Ebeneezer Scrooge happy.
