Where is the reference to the 10X improvement? As in, which benchmark are you comparing against? Thanks!
From the conclusion:
“We presented a practical implementation of an LSTM based lossless compressor. Although it is slow, its description is simple and the memory consumption is reasonable compared to compressors giving a similar compression ratio. It would greatly benefit from a dedicated hardware implementation.”
I only skimmed through the paper, but looks to me like this might be a 10X improvement over other LSTM compression methods, not state-of-the-art compression.
That said, I’m far from being an expert in compression and was hoping from someone in HN to explain how relevant this is in their discipline.
I would add that lstm-compress from Byron Knoll, the author of CMIX, already achieved comparable compression ratios at 10x the speed, as is shown in the paper.
