  • Lossless Data Compression with Transformer
    Under review as a conference paper at ICLR 2020 LOSSLESS DATA COMPRESSION WITH TRANSFORMER Anonymous authors Paper under double-blind review ABSTRACT Transformers have replaced long-short term memory and other recurrent neural networks variants in sequence modeling. It achieves state-of-the-art performance on a wide range of tasks related to natural language processing, including lan- guage modeling, machine translation, and sentence representation. Lossless com- pression is another problem that can benefit from better sequence models. It is closely related to the problem of online learning of language models. But, despite this ressemblance, it is an area where purely neural network based methods have not yet reached the compression ratio of state-of-the-art algorithms. In this paper, we propose a Transformer based lossless compression method that match the best compression ratio for text. Our approach is purely based on neural networks and does not rely on hand-crafted features as other lossless compression algorithms. We also provide a thorough study of the impact of the different components of the Transformer and its training on the compression ratio. 1 INTRODUCTION Lossless compression is a class of compression algorithms that allows for the perfect reconstruc- tion of the original data. In the last decades, statistical methods for lossless compression have been dominated by PAQ-type approaches (Mahoney, 2005). The structure of these approaches is similar to the Prediction by Partial Matching (PPM) of Cleary & Witten (1984) and are composed of two separated parts: a predictor and an entropy encoding. Entropy coding scheme like arithmetic cod- ing (Rissanen & Langdon, 1979) are optimal and most of the compression gains are coming from improving the predictor.

  • A Machine Learning Perspective on Predictive Coding with PAQ
    A Machine Learning Perspective on Predictive Coding with PAQ Byron Knoll & Nando de Freitas University of British Columbia Vancouver, Canada fknoll,[email protected] August 17, 2011 Abstract PAQ8 is an open source lossless data compression algorithm that currently achieves the best compression rates on many benchmarks. This report presents a detailed description of PAQ8 from a statistical machine learning perspective. It shows that it is possible to understand some of the modules of PAQ8 and use this understanding to improve the method. However, intuitive statistical explanations of the behavior of other modules remain elusive. We hope the description in this report will be a starting point for discussions that will increase our understanding, lead to improvements to PAQ8, and facilitate a transfer of knowledge from PAQ8 to other machine learning methods, such a recurrent neural networks and stochastic memoizers. Finally, the report presents a broad range of new applications of PAQ to machine learning tasks including language modeling and adaptive text prediction, adaptive game playing, classification, and compression using features from the field of deep learning. 1 Introduction Detecting temporal patterns and predicting into the future is a fundamental problem in machine learning. It has gained great interest recently in the areas of nonparametric Bayesian statistics (Wood et al., 2009) and deep learning (Sutskever et al., 2011), with applications to several domains including language modeling and unsupervised learning of audio and video sequences. Some re- searchers have argued that sequence prediction is key to understanding human intelligence (Hawkins and Blakeslee, 2005).

    Patch-VQ: ‘Patching Up’ the Video Quality Problem Zhenqiang Ying1*, Maniratnam Mandal1*, Deepti Ghadiyaram2†, Alan Bovik1† 1University of Texas at Austin, 2Facebook AI fzqying, [email protected], [email protected], [email protected] Abstract No-reference (NR) perceptual video quality assessment (VQA) is a complex, unsolved, and important problem to social and streaming media applications. Efficient and ac- curate video quality predictors are needed to monitor and guide the processing of billions of shared, often imper- fect, user-generated content (UGC). Unfortunately, current NR models are limited in their prediction capabilities on real-world, “in-the-wild” UGC video data. To advance progress on this problem, we created the largest (by far) subjective video quality dataset, containing 39; 000 real- world distorted videos and 117; 000 space-time localized video patches (‘v-patches’), and 5:5M human perceptual Fig. 1: Modeling local to global perceptual quality: From each video, we ex- tract three spatio-temporal video patches (Sec. 3.1), which along with their subjective quality annotations. Using this, we created two unique scores, are fed to the proposed video quality model. By integrating spatial (2D) and NR-VQA models: (a) a local-to-global region-based NR spatio-temporal (3D) quality-sensitive features, our model learns spatial and temporal distortions, and can robustly predict both global and local quality, a temporal quality VQA architecture (called PVQ) that learns to predict global series, as well as space-time quality maps (Sec. 5.2).

These point data usually occupy large storage space or require high bandwidth in case of real-time transmission. Thus, an efficient compression of these huge point cloud data points becomes necessary. Point clouds are often organized and compressed with octree based structures. The octree subdivision sequence is often serialized in a sequence of bytes that are subsequently entropy encoded using range coding, arithmetic coding or other methods. Such octree based algorithms are efficient only up to a certain level of detail as they have an exponential run-time in the number of subdivision levels. In addition, the compression efficiency diminishes when the number of subdivision levels iii increases. In this work we present an alternative way to partition the point cloud data.

  • Affect-Based Indexing and Retrieval of Multimedia Data Ching Hau Chan
    Affect-Based Indexing and Retrieval of Multimedia Data Ching Hau Chan A dissertation submitted in fulfillment of the requirements for the award of Doctor of Philosophy (Ph.D.) Supervisor: Dr. Gareth J.F. Jones School of Computing October 2006 Declaration I hereby certify that this material, which I now submit for assessment in the programme of study leading to the award of Doctor of Philosophy, is entirely my own work and has not been taken from the work of others save and to the extent that such work has been cited and acknowledged within the text of my own work. Signed : _______ ID No. : Date : 1 Title: Affect-based Indexing and Retrieval System of Multimedia Data Abstract Digital multimedia systems are creating many new opportunities for rapid access to content archives. In order to explore these collections using search, the content must be annotated with significant features. An important and often overlooked aspect of human interpretation of multimedia data is the affective dimension. The hypothesis of this thesis is that affective labels of content can be extracted automatically from within multimedia data streams, and that these can then be used for content-based retrieval and browsing. A novel system is presented for extracting affective features from video content and mapping it onto a set of keywords with predetermined emotional interpretations. These labels are then used to demonstrate affect-based retrieval on a range of feature films. Because of the subjective nature of the words people use to describe emotions, an approach towards an open vocabulary query system utilizing the electronic lexical database WordNet is also presented.

For inpainting with linear partial differential equations (PDEs) such as homogeneous or biharmonic diffusion, sophisticated data optimisation strategies have been found recently. These allow high-quality reconstructions from sparse known data. While they have been explic- itly developed with compression in mind, they have not entered actual codecs so far: Storing these optimised data efficiently is a nontrivial task. Since this step is essential for any competetive codec, we propose two new compression frameworks for linear PDEs: Efficient storage of pixel locations obtained from an optimal control approach, and a stochastic strategy for a locally adaptive, tree-based grid. Suprisingly, our experi- ments show that homogeneous diffusion inpainting can surpass its often favoured biharmonic counterpart in compression. Last but not least, we demonstrate that our linear approach is able to beat both JPEG2000 and the nonlinear state-of-the-art in PDE-based image compression. Keywords: linear diffusion inpainting, homogeneous, biharmonic, im- age compression, probabilistic tree-densification 1 Introduction For a given image, the core task of image compression is to store a small amount of data from which the original can be reconstructed with high accuracy.
