Cloud syncing and sharing software company Dropbox today announced that it has released an image compression algorithm called Lepton under an Apache open source license on GitHub. Lepton can both ...

A blockchain startup is claiming it has developed an algorithm that can dramatically reduce the size of digital files. If its technology is legit, it would help reduce the size of files 10,000 times – ...

CompressionX promises better compression and greener storage, but locks core features behind a monthly fee Claims of smart algorithms and 65% compression remain unverified and need independent testing ...

Digitized mammograms are actually interpreted more accurately by radiologists once they have been "compressed." Though compression strips away much of the original data, it still leaves intact those ...

Abstract: This paper proposes an innovative fusion of encryption and compression techniques that optimizes data handling and security. The approach employs a layered non-encoding ...

A team of engineers at Dropbox’s Hack Week re-created the fictional compression schema from HBO’s Silicon Valley. You would be forgiven for thinking that the elevator pitch for Daniel Reiter Horn’s ...

Suffix arrays serve as a fundamental tool in string processing by indexing all suffixes of a text in lexicographical order, thereby facilitating fast pattern searches, text retrieval, and genome ...

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 ...
