Adaptive Weighting of Context Models for Lossless Data Compression

  • Is compression that relevant for machine learning?
  • How can the techniques in this paper help ML, or AI in general?
  • Why does prediction help compression?
  • How does context mixing help prediction, and hence compression?
  • In what kinds of sequences does context mixing make sense?
  • Is context mixing a simple solution to a more important problem? (Document specific compression models.)
  • What are the next steps in text compression?
