I am probably going to port the ZPAQ decompressor to Java. This is the last decompressor everyone ever needs, seeing as any other format can be converted to ZPAQ with a constant-sized header. (Am I wrong?)
In the process I just realized how different that decompressor is from the compressor. It's completely non-symmetric. The compressor is a neural network [I'm simplifying]... and the decompressor is a Turing machine. Which means the compressor is wildly inferior in relation to the powers of the decompressor and thus optimizable. Which is actually a given since there is no machine-based optimization process of the ZPAQ compressor algorithm in progress. Or is there? Where are the live stats? ------------------------------------------ Artificial General Intelligence List: AGI Permalink: https://agi.topicbox.com/groups/agi/Ta8a0e64036790330-M725d5b3d0e0ed9f415dc3b0c Delivery options: https://agi.topicbox.com/groups/agi/subscription
