I'm on the Hutter prize committee so I'm not eligible for prize money. Nevertheless I am working on a project that might produce some code (GPL) that others might find useful. At this point it is just a preprocessor to improve downstream compression by other compressors. Details at https://encode.su/threads/4467-enwik9-preprocessor?p=86853#post86853
The current version compresses enwik9 to 268 MB in 5 minutes and decompresses in 19 seconds. It is a 4 stage preprocessor and a simple LZ77 compressor, but it is mainly useful to skip the LZ77 step and compress it with other compressors. -- -- Matt Mahoney, [email protected] ------------------------------------------ Artificial General Intelligence List: AGI Permalink: https://agi.topicbox.com/groups/agi/T0518db1e3a0c25c5-M94eb02ff31652ed75d3d84d8 Delivery options: https://agi.topicbox.com/groups/agi/subscription
