A team of researchers at ETH Zurich are working on a novel approach to solving increasingly large graph problems. Large graphs are a basis of many problems in social sciences (e.g., studying human ...

ADCs and DACs are generating a flood of sampled data that are creating high-speed bottlenecks on busses and in networks. Part 1 of this article described the use of compression algorithms that take ...

Compression is the science of making data representations smaller, in order to decrease the data's bandwidth and storage requirements. Compression applications are everywhere: in computers (WinZip and ...

Innovative compression algorithms can improve today�s high-speed data sampling. Compression algorithms have enabled many popular applications over the years. We cannot imagine sending e-mail ...

Compression algorithms for speech, audio, still images, and video are quite complicated and, more importantly, nearly always lossy. Thus, samples often change dramatically once they’re decompressed.
