An overview of generative sound models is presented. We discuss the benefits they offer in a variety of media contexts including indexing and retrieval, compression, sonification,...
The use of fractals in computer graphics and vision in modeling unstructured images, and compressing images, is well known. However, the use of fractals for indexing images in con...
Abstract. Latent semantic indexing (LSI) is an application of numerical method called singular value decomposition (SVD), which discovers latent semantic in documents by creating c...
We report on a simple encoding format called wzip for decompressing block-sorting transforms, such as the Burrows-Wheeler Transform (BWT). Our compressor uses the simple notions o...
We introduce an alternative Lempel-Ziv text parsing, LZ-End, that converges to the entropy and in practice gets very close to LZ77. LZ-End forces sources to finish at the end of ...
