  1. Where is the source? by mi · · Score: 1 · on Text Compressor 1% Away From AI Threshold

    Alexander Ratushnyak's open-sourced GPL program is called paq8hp12 [rar file].

    Well, if it is GPLed, it is in violation of the license, because the source is nowhere to be found — the RAR-file contains the Windows executable and two dictionary files — where is the source code?

    The readme.txt in the directory does not mention the sources either...

  4. Re:How much memory? by Anonymous Coward · · Score: 1, Informative · on Text Compressor 1% Away From AI Threshold

    I think the Wikipedia dumps are built to run on machines that don't have nearly 1 GiB of RAM. For compression, that is. Chances are it won't need anywhere near that to decompress (though I can't find any references). So as long as someone else compressed the dump you'll likely be able to use it on your weaker hardware.
  5. How much memory? by tepples · · Score: 0 · on Text Compressor 1% Away From AI Threshold

    so...wikipedia dumps will now be using paq8hp12 instead of l33t 7zip ? I think the Wikipedia dumps are built to run on machines that don't have nearly 1 GiB of RAM. Older motherboards that are still in use often can't take more than half a GiB.

  7. paq8hp6 by Baldrson · · Score: 1 · on First Hutter Prize Awarded

    Matt Mahoney reports that Alexander Ratushnyak already has a new program, paq8hp6.exe which appears to improve on paq8hp5 by the 1% threshold required for another payout -- given it survives the 30 day comment period.

  8. Comparison of Wordnet to Current Hutter Prize by Baldrson · · Score: 1 · on Mining Neologisms from Wikipedia
    I suspect database mining algorithms for Wikipedia Neologisms could also help refactor Wordnet's definitions to be more succinct and hence provide a better basis for modeling other natural language corpora.

    paq8hp3 is the current Hutter Prize lead contender and has compressed the first 100M of Wikipedia to just over 17M. Wordnet's .exe file is just over 17M. One wonders what would happen if the "cream" of Wordnet's vocabulary were compressed using paq8hp3 and then incorporated into paq8hp3 to be a better compressor by inferring what words are more likely than others to appear near various combinations of words. You wouldn't have to go very deep to generate a large temporary file of word associations. Identifying the "cream" of Wordnet would be more than just frequency of usage. Some refactorization of the definitions may be in order to find which words are most powerful descriptors of other words. How much of that sort of work has been done?
