Kirjallisuus ja materiaali
ATTENTION!!!: The project course (Project in Data Compression Techniques) has it's first meeting on Friday, 13.03.2015. Hope to see you there. The meeting will give an overview of what is expected.
The course does not follow any book. All essential material can be found in the lecture notes and in the exercise problems and solutions.
Lecture Notes
1. Lecture 13.01: PDF.
2. Lecture 15.01: PDF.
3. Lecture 20.01: PDF.
4. Lecture 22.01: PDF.
8. Lecture 10.02.: PDF (old slides)
9. Lecture 12.02.: PDF (old slides)
(Extra material: Wavelet tree - how does it actually work?)
For the slides of the previous incarnation of the course, see http://www.cs.helsinki.fi/courses/582487/2012/k/k/1 .
Exercises
Topics for exam:
From Simon:
- Integer codes: Elias gamma, Vbyte, Simple9 (word-aligned), interpolative
- LZ77
- RLZ
- level-order representation of binary trees
From Travis:
- the definition of entropy
- the statement (but not the proof) of Shannon's Noiseless Coding Theorem
- the statement (and some idea of the proof) of the Kraft Inequality
- Huff man's Algorithm (and some idea of the proof of correctness)
- how to make a prefix-free code canonical
- move-to-front (but not the analysis)
- arithmetic coding (but not the analysis)
- how to compute and invert the BWT (and have some idea of how it works)
- wavelet trees (but not the space analysis)
- FM-indexes (backward stepping, counting)
- bounds for RMQs
From both:
- applying rank and select on bitvectors (but without having to know all the details of the succinct/compressed solutions)
FINAL NOTE: Please give feedback for the course. You may use anonymous feedback form or give direct feedback.
