The “middle-out” algorithm that has its roots in the most infamous (and probably funniest) scene in HBO’s “Silicon Valley” may have been fictional, but something like it can be found in Lepton, a cool ...

Effective compression is about finding patterns to make data smaller without losing information. When an algorithm or model can accurately guess the next piece of data in a sequence, it shows it’s ...

A group of MIT researchers believe they’ve found a way to speed up audio, video, and image compression by improving on the Fourier Transform. They say the new algorithm is up to ten times faster than ...

Google is introducing a new compression algorithm named Brotli, which it says can reduce file sizes up to 26 percent over existing solutions. The increased density is achieved by “a 2nd order context ...

If you’re building an app or site that stores, manipulates or serves a lot of images, you’ll want to consider implementing Google’s new image compression algorithm, which promises to reduce JPEG file ...

Algorithm promises faster data transfer speeds and reduced Web page load times by compressing content up to 8 percent smaller than zlib. Steven Musil is a senior news editor at CNET News. He's been ...

How to use the zip and bzip2 macOS file compression commands Your email has been sent A variety of Mac applications compress files, but two simple commands native to ...

Google has developed and open-sourced a new JPEG algorithm that reduces file size by about 35 percent—or alternatively, image quality can be significantly improved while keeping file size constant.
