This document discusses various data compression techniques including Huffman coding, adaptive Huffman coding, arithmetic coding, statistical and adaptive algorithms, 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 for adaptive Huffman coding, and dividing the numeric range based on symbol probabilities for arithmetic coding. It also discusses calculating entropy, the adaptive character word length algorithm, overhead considerations, and how dictionary-based algorithms encode variable-length strings as tokens.
