Customized data compression: automatically synthesizing effective data compression and decompression algorithms (Unpublished thesis). Texas State University, San Marcos, Texas.https://hdl.handle.net/10877/5379With the exponential increase in the amount of data humans are generating, there is a progressive need for developing effective high-speed data compression techniques. However, developing an algorithm that just compresses data well is not sufficient. A good compression technique should also minimize the compression and decompression time. This project focuses on automatically synthesizing compression and decompression algorithms for a given data type. In particular, it employs search techniques to mix and match different transformation, prediction, and encoding components to determine the most efficient configurations.Text55 pages1 file (.pdf)encomputer sciencealgorithmsprogramminggeneticexhaustiveThesis
