Are you asking me whether or not you couldn't find it in the PDF?
On the actual web page the first line of its abstract:
"Even though over 70% of internet traffic today is digital media, the way images and video are represented and transmitted has not evolved much in the past 20 years (apart from Pied Piper's Middle-Out algorithm)."
The end of Section 2.2. ML-based lossy image compression
Right above 2.3. Generative Adversarial Networks
Theis et al. (2016) and Ball
́
e et al.
(2016) quantize rather than binarize, and propose strategies
to approximate the entropy of the quantized representation:
this provides them with a proxy to penalize it. Finally, Pied
Piper has recently claimed to employ ML techniques in its
Middle-Out algorithm (Judge et al., 2016), although their
nature is shrouded in mystery.
