Context-dependent multilevel pattern matching for lossless image compression
Bibliographic record
Abstract
In this paper, the multilevel pattern matching (MPM) code for compression of one-dimensional (1D) sequences is first generalized to compress two-dimensional (2D) images, resulting in a 2D multilevel pattern matching (MPM) code. It is shown that among all images of n pixels, the worst case redundancy of the 2D MPM code against any finite-template-based arithmetic code is O(1//spl radic/logn). This result contrasts unfavorably with the fact that among all 1D sequences of length n, the MPM code has a worst case redundancy of O(1/logn) against any finite-state arithmetic code; this is caused by the so-called 2D boundary effect. To alleviate the 2D boundary effect, we extend the 2D MPM code to the case of context modeling, yielding a context-dependent 2D MPM code. It is shown that among all images of n pixels, the context-dependent 2D MPM code has an O(1/logn) worst case redundancy against any finite-template-based arithmetic code satisfying a mild condition; this redundancy is better than that of the 2D MPM code without context models. Experimental results demonstrate that the context-dependent 2D MPM code significantly outperforms the 2D MPM code without context models for bi-level images. It is also demonstrated that, in terms of compression rates, the context-dependent 2D MPM code performs significantly better than the progressive coding mode of JBIG1 for both textual and bi-level images, and better than or comparably to the sequential coding mode of JBIG1 and JBIG2. In addition to its excellent compression performance, the context-dependent 2D MPM code allows progressive transmission of images.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
