Abstract
Systems and methods for an entropy coding system are described. The entropy coding systems include an encoding apparatus and a decoding apparatus. The encoding apparatus is configured to receive an original input stream comprising a plurality of symbols having a known entropy characteristic according to a probability distribution of each of the symbols appearing in the original input stream, determine an input and respective state for each symbol read from the original input stream, append the determined input to the encoded output stream, and provided the encoded output stream to the decoding apparatus. The decoding apparatus is configured to receive the encoded output stream, process the encoded output stream, and for each read input: determine an output symbol and a respective output, persist the respective output state to the encoded output stream, and append the determined output symbol to the results output stream.
