A team of researchers at ETH Zurich are working on a novel approach to solving increasingly large graph problems. Large graphs are a basis of many problems in social sciences (e.g., studying human ...

Innovative compression algorithms can improve today�s high-speed data sampling. Compression algorithms have enabled many popular applications over the years. We cannot imagine sending e-mail ...

Speech, audio, and video compression algorithms are too specific to be useful for general-purpose numerical compression. In HPC and cloud computing, 32-bit single precision and 64-bit double precision ...

It used to be that memory and storage space were so precious and so limited of a resource that handling nontrivial amounts of text was a serious problem. Text compression was a highly practical ...
