This document discusses various data compression techniques including Huffman coding, adaptive Huffman coding, arithmetic coding, and dictionary modeling. It provides details on how each technique works, such as assigning codes based on symbol frequencies for Huffman coding, adapting the code tree as symbols are encoded for adaptive Huffman coding, and dividing the numeric range based on symbol probabilities for arithmetic coding. It also discusses entropy, character word lengths, overhead, and how dictionary-based algorithms encode strings of symbols as tokens.
