  • Bijective BWT (7 Comments)

    David Scott has written a bijective BWT transform, which brings all the advantages of bijectiveness to BWT based compressors. Among other things, making BWT more suitable for compression-before-encryption and also give (slightly) better compression.

  • Asymmetric Binary System (113 Comments)

    Jarek Duda’s “Asymmetric Binary System” promises to be an alternate to arithmetic coding, having all the advantages, but being much simpler. Matt has coded a PAQ based compressor using ABS for back-end encoding. Update: Andrew Polar has written an alternate implementation of ABS.

  • Precomp: More Compression for your Compressed Files (3 Comments)

    So many of today’s files are already compressed (using old, outdated algorithms) that newer algorithms don’t even get a chance to touch them. Christian Schneider’s Precomp comes to rescue by undoing the harm.

  • On2 Technologies is Hiring

    There aren’t too many companies working on cutting edge codecs, and of those few this one is hiring. Best of luck.

  • China’s AVS Specifications Available (2 Comments)

    Its old news that China has developed their own Advanced Video Standard to avoid high licensing fees. English translation of the standard is now available, along with the IPR policy. Finally something technical that you can get your hands on to feed your appetite.

IEEE 2005 Fellows

Posted by Mark Nelson on 9th July 2005 | Permanent Link

The IEEE Class of 2005 Fellows holds a couple of notable fellow travelers: Yung-Chang Chen of the National Tsing Hua University in Taiwin for contributions to low bit rate modeling based coding, and Alan V. McCree of MIT’s Lincoln Laboratory for contributions to low bit-rate coding of speech signals.

You can have good luck searching for papers of the first honoree on CiteSeer with a search term of “Y. C. Chen”, but things are not so good for Dr. McCree. His many years at Texas Instruments in Dallas didn’t yield a big bibliography. I guess that industry is a lot more interested in profits than publications.
