Context-Tree Weighting and Maximizing: Processing Betas
نویسندگان
چکیده
The context-tree weighting method (Willems, Shtarkov, and Tjalkens [1995]) is a sequential universal source coding method that achieves the Rissanen lower bound [1984] for tree sources. The same authors also proposed context-tree maximizing, a two-pass version of the context-tree weighting method [1993]. Later Willems and Tjalkens [1998] described a method based on ratios (betas) of sequence probabilities that can be used to reduce the storage complexity of the contexttree weighting method. These betas can be applied to express a posteriori model probabilities in a recursive way (Willems, Nowbahkt-Irani, Volf [2001]). In the present paper we present new results related to betas. These results provide a new view on the relation between context-tree weighting and maximizing.

A Study of the Context Tree Maximizing Method
One can adapt the context tree weighting method in such a way, that it will find the minimum description length model (MDL-model) that corresponds to the data. In this paper this new algorithm, the context tree maximizing algorithm, and a few modifications of the algorithm will be studied, in particular, its performance if we apply it for data compression.

We present an application of the context weighting algorithm. Our objective is to classify objects with decision trees. The best tree will be searched for with the Minimum Description Length Principle. In order to find these trees, we modified the context weighting algorithm.
متن کاملA Context-Tree Branch-Weighting Algorithm
The context-tree weighting algorithm [4] is a universal source coding algorithm for binary tree sources. In [2] the algorithm is modified for byte-oriented tree sources. This paper describes the context-tree branch-weighting algorithm, which can reduce the number of parameters for such sources, without increasing the complexity significantly.
متن کاملA Relationship between Contex Tree Weighting and General Model Weighting Techniques for Tree Sources
This paper explores a relationship between parameters for the context tree weighting and weights for a general model weighting technique. In particular, an algorithm is proposed that approximately computes the parameters from the weights, and a condition under which no error for the approximation occurs is derived. key words: model weighting technique, tree source, context tree weighting.
متن کاملThe Context-tree Weighting Method: Extensions - Information Theory, IEEE Transactions on
First we modify the basic (binary) context-tree weighting method such that the past symbols x1 D; x2 D; ; x0 are not needed by the encoder and the decoder. Then we describe how to make the context-tree depth D infinite, which results in optimal redundancy behavior for all tree sources, while the number of records in the context tree is not larger than 2T 1: Here T is the length of the source se...
