In the last years a large amount of semistructured data [1, 10] has been managed and
exchanged. The largest repository of semistructured data is the World Wide Web, which can …

Conventional data compression methods typically model the information source as an iid
stochastic process, thereby establishing the fundamental limit as entropy for lossless …

Most algorithms of data compression were developed with English language as target text
syntax. However, this paper approaches the problem of Yorùbá text files compression via …

Counts of attribute-value combinations are central to the profiling of a data set, particularly in
determining fitness for use and in eliminating bias and unfairness. While counts of individual …

A new notion, that of semi-lossless text compression, is introduced, and its applicability in
various settings is investigated. First results suggest that it might be hard to exploit the …

In this paper, several new universal preprocessing techniques are described to improve
Prediction by Partial Matching (PPM) compression of UTF-8 encoded natural language text …

This paper deals with the issue of abstracting a data source characterized by one among
several possible representation formats. First we show that data source abstraction plays a …
