Abstract
Techniques for general-purpose lossless data compression using a neural network including compressing an original content item to a baseline lossless compressed data format. The baseline lossless compressed data format is binarized to a binarized format. The binarized format is arithmetically coded based on probability estimates from a neural network probability estimator. The neural network probability estimator generates the probability estimates for current symbols of the binarized format to be arithmetically coded based on symbols of the binarized format that have already been arithmetically coded.
