Adaptive Lossless Compression
Retrospection Adaptive Lossless Compression (ALC) is something that I came up with during the time period between the end of my bachelor and the first year of my master studies. Back then I sometimes joined George Hotz's streams from time to time and once I heard him saying something that was about the idea of compression leading to intelligence being very interesting. Then he said that even in physics or mathematics we try to invent some formulas to represent our sensations or observations. At that moment, the idea of compression caught my attention. I thought about the numbers, functions and sets in mathematics and one question naturally came to my mind: W hy do problems have mathematical solutions? Another way to ask would be that why do they have solutions that are mathematical? As I kept thinking about this question, I started realizing the true depth of it. I do not have an answer to give today but I developed some intuitions about it. If you want to understand it, you m...
