Can textual data be compressed intelligently without losing accuracy in evaluating sentiment? In this study, we propose a novel evolutionary compression algorithm, PARSEC (PARts-of-Speech for sEntiment Compression), which makes use of Parts-of-Speech tags to compress text in a way that sacrifices minimal classification…
This work tackles extractive compression by formulating it as tree transduction.
problem Extractive compression as a challenging natural language processing problem.
method Formulated as a parse tree transduction problem, using a deep neural model with Long Short-Term Memory extended to consider parent-child relationships.
result Achieves state-of-the-art performance on sentence compression benchmarks.
This paper proposes to perform authorship analysis using the Fast Compression Distance (FCD), a similarity measure based on compression with dictionaries directly extracted from the written texts. The FCD computes a similarity between two documents through an effective binary search on the intersection set between the …
Data compression is a popular technique for improving the efficiency of data processing workloads such as SQL queries and more recently, machine learning (ML) with classical batch gradient methods. But the efficacy of such ideas for mini-batch stochastic gradient descent (MGD), arguably the workhorse algorithm of moder…
We discuss algorithms for estimating the Shannon entropy h of finite symbol sequences with long range correlations. In particular, we consider algorithms which estimate h from the code lengths produced by some compression algorithm. Our interest is in describing their convergence with sequence length, assuming no limit…
PAQ8 is an open source lossless data compression algorithm that currently achieves the best compression rates on many benchmarks. This report presents a detailed description of PAQ8 from a statistical machine learning perspective. It shows that it is possible to understand some of the modules of PAQ8 and use this under…
This book presents a methodology and philosophy of empirical science based on large scale lossless data compression. In this view a theory is scientific if it can be used to build a data compression program, and it is valuable if it can compress a standard benchmark database to a small size, taking into account the len…
We consider an online version of the robust Principle Component Analysis (PCA), which arises naturally in time-varying source separations such as video foreground-background separation. This paper proposes a compressive online robust PCA with prior information for recursively separating a sequences of frames into spars…
Improves document summarization by combining word embeddings and n-grams.
problem Exact word matching fails to measure semantic similarity between sentences.
method Uses deep embedding features and tf-idf features to improve sentence similarity measure; builds an improved sentence similarity graph; employs a submodular objective function; develops a Transformer-based compression model.
result Outperforms tf-idf based approach and achieves state-of-the-art performance on DUC04 dataset.
The (isothermic) compressibility of lattice knots can be examined as a model of the effects of topology and geometry on the compressibility of ring polymers. In this paper, the compressibility of minimal length lattice knots in the simple cubic, face centered cubic and body centered cubic lattices are determined. Our r…
