Yes. Check out succinct data structures. They are closely related to compression algorithms. The above mentioned compression algorithms (incl. Entropy and all LZ variants) need a decompression step. They might try to improve the decompression speed by chunking and sacrifice storage space, but decompression is needed. This is unrelated to how they remove redundant information from the data (e.g. using pointers). Succinct data structures try to avoid decompression at all. Again, at the cost of storage space but some operations can be done on the succinct data directly as it is on disk. |
