    JOURNAL OF LATEX CLASS FILES, VOL. 14, NO. 8, AUGUST 2015 1 DZip: improved neural network based general-purpose lossless compression Mohit Goyal, Kedar Tatwawadi, Shubham Chandak, Idoia Ochoa Abstract—We consider lossless compression based on statistical [4], [5] and generative modeling [6]). Neural network based data modeling followed by prediction-based encoding, where an models can typically learn highly complex patterns in the data accurate statistical model for the input data leads to substantial much better than traditional finite context and Markov models, improvements in compression. We propose DZip, a general- purpose compressor for sequential data that exploits the well- leading to significantly lower prediction error (measured as known modeling capabilities of neural networks (NNs) for pre- log-loss or perplexity [4]). This has led to the development of diction, followed by arithmetic coding. DZip uses a novel hybrid several compressors using neural networks as predictors [7]– architecture based on adaptive and semi-adaptive training. Unlike [9], including the recently proposed LSTM-Compress [10], most NN based compressors, DZip does not require additional NNCP [11] and DecMac [12]. Most of the previous works, training data and is not restricted to specific data types. The proposed compressor outperforms general-purpose compressors however, have been tailored for compression of certain data such as Gzip (29% size reduction on average) and 7zip (12% size types (e.g., text [12] [13] or images [14], [15]), where the reduction on average) on a variety of real datasets, achieves near- prediction model is trained in a supervised framework on optimal compression on synthetic datasets, and performs close to separate training data or the model architecture is tuned for specialized compressors for large sequence lengths, without any the specific data type.

The IFJ is the world’s largest organization of journalists and our focus is on ways and means to stop physical attacks, harassment and the killing of journalists and media staff. In an age where journalism – like everything else in modern life – is dominated by the Internet, online safety is emerging as a new front. In this new war, repressive regimes now keep a prying eye on what journalists say, write and film. They want to monitor contacts and they want to suppress information.

    Answers to Exercises A bird does not sing because he has an answer, he sings because he has a song. —Chinese Proverb Intro.1: abstemious, abstentious, adventitious, annelidous, arsenious, arterious, face- tious, sacrilegious. Intro.2: When a software house has a popular product they tend to come up with new versions. A user can update an old version to a new one, and the update usually comes as a compressed file on a floppy disk. Over time the updates get bigger and, at a certain point, an update may not fit on a single floppy. This is why good compression is important in the case of software updates. The time it takes to compress and decompress the update is unimportant since these operations are typically done just once. Recently, software makers have taken to providing updates over the Internet, but even in such cases it is important to have small files because of the download times involved. 1.1: (1) ask a question, (2) absolutely necessary, (3) advance warning, (4) boiling hot, (5) climb up, (6) close scrutiny, (7) exactly the same, (8) free gift, (9) hot water heater, (10) my personal opinion, (11) newborn baby, (12) postponed until later, (13) unexpected surprise, (14) unsolved mysteries. 1.2: A reasonable way to use them is to code the five most-common strings in the text. Because irreversible text compression is a special-purpose method, the user may know what strings are common in any particular text to be compressed. The user may specify five such strings to the encoder, and they should also be written at the start of the output stream, for the decoder’s use.

  • Backing up Linux - Ii
    BACKING UP LINUX - II 1 Software recommendations, disrecommendations and examples This chapter describes some details and examples of a number or programs. Please note that there are far more backup programs in existence than the ones I mention here. The reason I mention these, is because these are the ones I have a lot experience with, and it shows how to apply or consider the concepts described above, in practice. Sometimes as specifically refer to the GNU version of an application, the standard version on Linux installations, which can be fundamentally different than the classic version, so keep that in mind. 1.1. Dar First a word of caution. It's highly recommended that you use version 2.3.3 (most recent stable release at the time of writing) or newer because it contains a major bugfix. Read the announcement on Dar's news list for more info. Dar is very well thought through and has solutions for classic pitfalls. For example, it comes with a statically compiled binary which you can copy on (the first disk of) your backup. It supports automatic archive slicing, and has an option to set the size of the first slice separately, so you have some space on the first disk left for making a boot CD, for example. It also lets you run a command between each slice, so you can burn it on CD, or calculate parity information on it, etc. And, very importantly, its default options are well chosen. Well, that is, except for the preservation of atimes (see atime-preserveration above).
