Abstract
Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on a computer storage medium, for compressing and decompressing data. In one aspect, an encoder neural network processes data to generate an output including a representation of the data as an ordered collection of code symbols. The ordered collection of code symbols is entropy encoded using one or more code symbol probability distributions. A compressed representation of the data is determined based on the entropy encoded representation of the collection of code symbols and data indicating the code symbol probability distributions used to entropy encode the collection of code symbols. In another aspect, a compressed representation of the data is decoded to determine the collection of code symbols representing the data. A reconstruction of the data is determined by processing the collection of code symbols by a decoder neural network.
