A reprint of an important paper. This site has links to the paper in PDF and Postscript formats. Claude E. Shannon is widely acknowledged to be the father of information theory. The publication of this paper established that reputation and gave birth to this area of scientific endeavor.
Jeffrey S. Vitter is a publishing dynamo. When you look at the sum total of his output it looks more like an entire department. We don't know what his secret is, but he has a lot of interesting thoughts about data compression.
AT&T has developed a product called Xmill, which uses grouping techniques to effectively compress XML items. This paper gives a technical overview of the fundamental principles of Xmill. The document is a gzip'd PostScript file.
The University of Washington has a very active group of researchers working on data compression and information theory. Many of their papers are available online at this web site. Like Vector Quantization? Then this is the spot for you.
This collection contains all of the papers from the 2000 Data Compression Conference. Members of the IEEE Computer Society can access the page for free, others pay a nominal fee for access. Note that the 1999 and 1998 conference proceedings are on this page as well.
This issue of the IBM Research Journal concentrates on MPEG-2, with a whole slew of interesting papers.
This paper from the Mathematica Journal gives some introductory material on using Mathematica to do a bit of image compression.
Suzanne Bunton's PhD thesis, in gziped PostScript. Not for the faint of heart, but a wealth of information, particularly for those interested in PPM.
