Abstract:

The goal of the research was to study the possibility of using the planned language Esperanto for text compression, and to compare the results of the text compression in Esperanto with the compression in natural languages, represented by Polish and English. The authors performed text compression in the created program in Python using four compression algorithms: zlib, lzma, bz2, and zl4 in four versions of the text: in Polish, English, Esperanto, and Esperanto in x notation (without characters outside ASCII encoding). After creating the compression program, and compressing the proper texts, au

Abstract:

Abstract For many adaptive complex systems information about the environment is not simply recorded in a look-up table, but is rather encoded in a theory, schema, or model, which compresses information. The grammar of a language can be viewed as such a schema or theory. In a prior study [Teal et al., 1999] we proposed several conjectures about the learning and evolution of language that should follow from these observations: (C1) compression aids in generalization; (C2) compression occurs more easily in a “smooth”, as opposed to a “rugged”, problem space; and (C3) constraints from compression

Abstract:

The rapid growth in the amount of data in the digital world leads to the need for data compression, and so forth, reducing the number of bits needed to represent a text file, an image, audio, or video content. Compressing data saves storage capacity and speeds up data transmission. In this paper, we focus on the text compression and provide a comparison of algorithms (in particular, entropy-based arithmetic and dictionary-based Lempel–Ziv–Welch (LZW) methods) for text compression in different languages (Croatian, Finnish, Hungarian, Czech, Italian, French, German, and English). The main goal i

Abstract:

Simultaneous interpreting for all intents and purposes is a particularly common interpreting modality that kind of is utilized in conferences, place of business education sessions, and prison or authorities situations in a fairly big way. In the instance of simultaneous interpreting, the interpreter goes thru a three-part simultaneous process: Listening to the original language the speaker cognitively converts the verbal exchange into the generally goal language earlier than decoding it to the third party/audience in the for all intents and purposes goal language, actually contrary to popu

Abstract:

Background: Modern computational linguistics heavily relies on large language models that demonstrate strong performance in various Natural Language Inference (NLI) tasks. These models, however, require substantial computational resources for both training and deployment. To address this challenge, a range of compression and acceleration techniques has been developed, including quantization, pruning, and factorization. Each of these approaches operates differently, can be applied at various levels of the model architecture, and is suited to different deployment scenarios. Purpose: The objectiv

Abstract:

This paper presents a hardware implementation of real time data compression and decompression circuits based on the LZW algorithm. LZW is a dictionary based data compression, which has the advantage of fast speed, high compression, and small resource occupation. In compression circuit, the design creatively utilizes two dictionaries alternately to improve efficiency and compressing rate. In decompression circuit, an integrated State machine control module is adopted to save hardware resource. Through hardware description and language programming, the circuits finally reach function simulation

Abstract:

Speech phonemes in higher frequencies have varying acoustic characteristics in different languages. For example, /s/ and /ʃ/, fricatives commonly used in English, have spectral peaks at higher frequencies than /ʂ/ and /x/, fricatives commonly used in Mandarin. Data on the relationship between the acoustic characteristics of a listener’s native language and their hearing aid signal prescription requirements could provide important clinical guidance. Non-linear frequency compression is a digital signal processing tool that compresses auditory information above a pre-determined cutoff frequency.

Abstract:

In recent studies Recurrent Neural Networks were used for generative processes and their surprising performance can be explained by their ability to create good predictions. In addition, Data Compression is also based on prediction. What the problem comes down to is whether a data compressor could be used to perform as well as recurrent neural networks in the natural language processing tasks of sentiment analysis and automatic text generation. If this is possible, then the problem comes down to determining if a compression algorithm is even more intelligent than a neural network in such tasks

Abstract:

Data compression is used in our everyday life to improve computer interaction or simply for storage purposes. Lossless data compression refers to those techniques that are able to compress a file in such ways that the decompressed format is the replica of the original. These techniques, which differ from the lossy data compression, are necessary and heavily used in order to reduce resource usage and improve storage and transmission speeds. Prior research led to huge improvements in compression performance and efficiency for general purpose tools which are mainly based on statistical and dictio

Abstract:

This book examines how compression can be understood not only as a digital process enacted through computing, but as a wider economic and political phenomenon that impacts on the ecology of waste, diversity and social inclusivity. Setting out from the linguistic underpinning of visual space it proceeds to the development of the MP3 algorithm and an examination of the ‘waste’itcreates. As it does so it challenges the received wisdom, prevalent in western thought, that human reason and logic enacted through language is uniquely capable of bringing order to chaos. Returning to the idea of a sonic

Abstract:

This chapter explores the political possibilities that arose from the rapid standardization and textualization of African languages in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Language standardization entailed distortion, compression, and integration as hitherto dynamic and changeable languages were shoehorned into premade templates. It was from this transformative work that new political constituencies came—quite suddenly—into view. African entrepreneurs made haste to hail their hitherto unbiddable compatriots, creating new modes of address that could speak to a collective whole. It was a vert
