Compression algorithms, such as LZ77 and Huffman, analyze data for redundancies and patterns, allowing them to represent those patterns more efficiently with fewer bits.

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 ...

Horn’s “Pied Piper” is exactly what fans of the TV show would expect, given its name: It’s a media file compression schema designed to compress and decompress files without compromising ...
