Source coding with a reversible memory-binding probability density transformation

Source coding with a permutation-based reversible memory-binding transform for data compression in categorical data domains

“…We focus here upon a permutation transform as a separate coding stage, termed a memory-binding-transform (MBT) [11] which blends permutation, ranking, and coding concepts to bind memory information to a transformed symbol set by using a probability model to associate permutations with the memory space. The MBT performs well for traditional sources, but is of particular value for more challenging categorical data sources, such as codebook indices, to the extent that appropriate probability models can be constructed.…”
