LZ78LZW
LZ78LZW is a name used to describe a hybrid data compression approach that combines elements of the LZ78 and LZW algorithms. It is not a single, standardized algorithm, but rather a concept that appears in discussions of dictionary-based compression and in experimental research. The idea behind LZ78LZW is to leverage LZ78’s method of building a dictionary of phrases as the data are processed, while employing a coding strategy inspired by LZW to emit compact codewords corresponding to dictionary entries.
In the LZ78 family, the encoder creates a dictionary where each entry corresponds to a previously seen
Potential advantages include better adaptability to varied text patterns and improved decoding consistency in some datasets.
LZ78LZW remains largely experimental. It is referenced mainly in academic discussions of hybrid dictionary methods rather
