There is provided a computer implemented method of compressing a baseline dataset comprising a sequence of a plurality of instances of a plurality of unique data elements, the method comprising: providing a weight function that calculates an increasing value for a weight for each one of the plurality of instances of each one of the plurality of unique data elements in the baseline dataset, as a function of increasing number of previously processed sequential locations of each of the plurality of instances of each respective unique data element within the baseline dataset relative to a current sequential location of the baseline dataset, computing an encoding for the baseline dataset according to a distribution of the weight function computed for the plurality of unique data elements in the baseline dataset, and creating a compressed dataset according to the encoding.

Systems and methods of data compression

There is provided a computer-implemented method of compressing a baseline dataset, comprising: creating a weight function that calculates a weight for each instance of each unique data elements in the baseline dataset, as a function of sequential locations of each of the instances of each respective unique data element within the baseline dataset, creating an output dataset storing a codeword for each one of the unique data elements, wherein codewords are according to a compression rule defining data elements associated with a relatively higher weight as being associated with codewords that are relatively shorter, dynamically creating the compressed dataset by sequentially iterating, for each current sequential location of the baseline dataset: determining an encoded data element mapped to the respective data element of the current sequential location according to the weight function, and adjusting the codewords of the output dataset according to the current weights to maintain the compression rule.
