It's not so much "making an AI from a compressor" as "making a compressor from an AI." Specifically, it has to be a kind of AI that predicts the next element in a sequence if given past elements of the sequence.
You run your prediction algorithm on the file you wish to compress, and store only those elements in the sequence that differ from the element your algorithm predicted at that position. Store the errors, in other words. You can then regenerate the original file (decompress) by running your algorithm and substituting the stored errors into the output. If your algorithm requires training, then you should be able to train it on any representative example of the kind of data you want to compress. ------------------------------------------ Artificial General Intelligence List: AGI Permalink: https://agi.topicbox.com/groups/agi/Tbdfca102d702de94-Mb1102cc0e0e1b8982d6c70a9 Delivery options: https://agi.topicbox.com/groups/agi/subscription
