Compression algorithms for speech, audio, still images, and video are quite complicated and, more importantly, nearly always lossy. Thus, samples often change dramatically once they’re decompressed.

Google Research recently revealed TurboQuant, a compression algorithm that reduces the memory footprint of large language ...

A new compression technique from Google Research threatens to shrink the memory footprint of large AI models so dramatically ...

The goal of digital compression algorithms is to produce a digital representation of an audio signal which, when decoded and reproduced, sounds the same as the original signal, while using a minimum ...

ADCs and DACs are generating a flood of sampled data that are creating high-speed bottlenecks on busses and in networks. Part 1 of this article described the use of compression algorithms that take ...

Google thinks it's found the answer, and it doesn't require more or better hardware. Originally detailed in an April 2025 ...

Google has introduced a new data compression algorithm, which the company believes will make the Internet faster for all users. Known as Zopfli, the open-source algorithm is said to increase data ...
