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 ...

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 ...

Facebook is open sourcing a new compression algorithm called Zstandard that aims to replace the common technology behind the Zip file format. The most common algorithm behind the Zip file format is ...

WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. - When it comes to the information in a mammogram, Purdue scientists say less is more - and their findings could bring medical care to many far-flung communities. A team of ...

Efficient data compression and transmission are crucial in space missions due to restricted resources, such as bandwidth and storage capacity. This requires efficient data-compression methods that ...

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 just launched Zopfli, a new open source compression algorithm that can compress web content about 3 to eight 8 more densely (PDF) than the standard zlib library. Because Zopfli is compatible ...
