Olsen Submitted to the Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science on May 23, 2005, in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Engineering in Electrical Engineering and Computer Science Abstract LecTix 2.0 is a multimedia player designed specifically for the playback of recorded classroom lectures. LecTix 2.0 plays multimedia consisting of synchronized audio, video, and PowerPoint-style slides. In addition to controls commonly found in multi- media players, LecTix 2.0 features controls designed specifically for lecture-multimedia playback such as customizable skip, variable-speed playback with pitch-normalization, and a browsable timeline of slides. LecTix 2.0's features contribute to its being usable, widely available, and exten- sible. LecTix 2.0's automatic media synchronization and large, externally consistent controls for navigation make for a learnable, memorable, and efficient user interface. LecTix 2.0's open-source implementation using the Java Media Framework allows it to be freely distributable, portable, and convenient to use without a network connection. LecTix 2.0's media class hierarchy, events, and lecture description result in a modular player that can be extended to support new media types without recompilation of the player's core. In addition to presenting LecTix 2.0, this thesis reviews seven players in use today. I compare them to LecTix 2.0 in terms of usability, availability, and extensibility. I also present a case study of the production of lecture multimedia and the use of an early version of LecTix in an introductory algorithms course. Thesis Supervisor: Charles E. Leiserson Title: Professor 3 4 Acknowledgments I have taken a round-about journey to get to this point, but I have finally made it. Without people to support and encourage me, I wouldn't have made it this far. I thank my advisor, Charles Leiserson, for his patience, advice, and insight. He's made a better writer out of me. Professors like him are what make MIT so great. I thank my parents and my sister for their never ending love and support, and for knowing not to bother me while I wrote "the thesis." Members of the Supercomputing Technologies Group provided feedback on LecTix and friendship. I thank Kunal Agrawal, Elizabeth Basha, Michael Bender, John Danaher, Leigh Deacon, Jeremy Fineman, Zardosht Kasheff, Angelina Lee, Bradley Kuszmaul, Sid Sen, Gideon Stupp, and Jim Sukha. I thank the people who have worked on LecTix and those who continue to do so. In particular, I thank Kai Huang and Luis F. G. Sarmenta. Luis also provided well thought-out advice on the thesis document. I thank Charles Leiseron, Tomas Lozano-Perez, and the Singapore-MIT Alliance for funding my research. This project never would have gotten done without the support. Rob Miller's course on user interface design and implementation was essential to LecTix 2.0's implementation. I thank him and Min Wu for imparting their knowledge to me and offering their invaluable feedback. I also thank the students who performed a heuristic evaluation of what was an atrocious prototype of LecTix: Alex Faaborg, Albert Leung, Andrew Perelson, and Anson Tsai. Numerous other people provided feedback on LecTix. I especially thank Tom Lasko, Larry Rudolph, and Bill Thies. Bill Thies also took slide timings for the course 6.046: Introduction to Algorithms. I thank the people from MIT's Academic Production Media Services for capturing lecture videos and providing copies for me. I especially thank Joanne Flood, Craig Milanesi, and Peter Hess. I thank Alejandro Caro for being a great and patient manager while I worked at 5 Akamai Technologies. He helped me to become a better person. I thank my friends who have stuck with me through thick and thin: Greg Ander- son, Michael Collier, Rachel Craig, Alex Dzindolet, Gene Fierro, Lizzy Hickey, Effie Hios, Oliver James, Rhiannon Jordan-Woodbury, Matt Lalime, Gabe Law, Betty Li, Celeste Loetz, Mike McGlothin, Vicky Medina, Erick Medina, Diego Medina, Becca Nathan, Ernesto Pascaul, Kenny Perry, Ian Scott, Jaime Tayag, Kat Troncellito, Brett Wiesner, and James Williams. These folks have always kept it real. They're my family. I thank Xiaolu Hsi, Marcia Yousik, and Kim McGlothin for their support. I never would have made it this far without them. And I thank MIT for generous financial aid and for teaching me how to use my brain. I graduate smarter and more knowledgeable than I was ten years ago.

  • Lossless Data Compression with Transformer

    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/V Codecs) REDCODE RAW (.R3D) ARRIRAW

    What is a Codec? Codec is a portmanteau of either "Compressor-Decompressor" or "Coder-Decoder," which describes a device or program capable of performing transformations on a data stream or signal. Codecs encode a stream or signal for transmission, storage or encryption and decode it for viewing or editing. Codecs are often used in videoconferencing and streaming media solutions. A video codec converts analog video signals from a video camera into digital signals for transmission. It then converts the digital signals back to analog for display. An audio codec converts analog audio signals from a microphone into digital signals for transmission. It then converts the digital signals back to analog for playing. The raw encoded form of audio and video data is often called essence, to distinguish it from the metadata information that together make up the information content of the stream and any "wrapper" data that is then added to aid access to or improve the robustness of the stream. Most codecs are lossy, in order to get a reasonably small file size. There are lossless codecs as well, but for most purposes the almost imperceptible increase in quality is not worth the considerable increase in data size. The main exception is if the data will undergo more processing in the future, in which case the repeated lossy encoding would damage the eventual quality too much. Many multimedia data streams need to contain both audio and video data, and often some form of metadata that permits synchronization of the audio and video. Each of these three streams may be handled by different programs, processes, or hardware; but for the multimedia data stream to be useful in stored or transmitted form, they must be encapsulated together in a container format.
