Abstract: A system and method for highly efficient encoding of data that includes extended functionality for asymmetric encoding/decoding and network policy enforcement. In the case of asymmetric encoding/decoding the original data is encoded by an encoder according to a codebook and sent to a decoder, but the output of the decoder depends on data manipulation rules applied at the decoding stage to transform the decoded data into a different data set from the original data. In the case of network policy enforcement, a behavior appendix into the codebook, such that the encoder and/or decoder at each node of the network comply with network behavioral rules, limits, and policies during encoding and decoding.

Abstract: A system and method for encoding data using a plurality of encoding libraries. Portions of the data are encoded by different encoding libraries, depending on which library provides the greatest compaction for a given portion of the data. This methodology not only provides substantial improvements in data compaction over use of a single data compaction algorithm with the highest average compaction, but provides substantial additional security in that multiple decoding libraries must be used to decode the data. In some embodiments, each portion of data may further be encoded using different sourceblock sizes, providing further security enhancements as decoding requires multiple decoding libraries and knowledge of the sourceblock size used for each portion of the data. In some embodiments, encoding libraries may be randomly or pseudo-randomly rotated to provide additional security.

Abstract: A system and method for compacting data that uses mismatch probability estimation to improve entropy encoding methods to account for, and efficiently handle, previously-unseen data in data to be compacted. Training data sets are analyzed to determine the frequency of occurrence of each sourceblock in the training data sets. A mismatch probability estimate is calculated comprising an estimated frequency at which any given data sourceblock received during encoding will not have a codeword in the codebook. Entropy encoding is used to generate codebooks comprising codewords for data sourceblocks based on the frequency of occurrence of each sourceblock. A “mismatch codeword” is inserted into the codebook based on the mismatch probability estimate to represent those cases when a block of data to be encoded does not have a codeword in the codebook. During encoding, if a mismatch occurs, a secondary encoding process is used to encode the mismatched sourceblock.

Abstract: A system and method for encoding anonymized dataset. A dataset may be pre-processed by dividing into a plurality of sourceblocks at all reasonable sourceblock lengths, and then counting how many times each sourceblock occurs in the dataset, resulting in a tally record of tokens and their count value. This tally record may then be anonymized and transmitted as an anonymized tally record to a data deconstruction engine which combined with a library manager creates a codebook and performs optimization techniques on the codebook. The received anonymized tally record may be parsed into individual tokens by identifying the tokens with the highest count value. The tokens may then be sent, in descending order of count value, to the library manger where each token may be assigned a codeword. Then a half-backed codebook is created using the tokens and each token's unique codeword, before sending the half-backed codebook to a system user.

Abstract: A system and method for error-resilient data reduction, utilizing a phase detector, a data requestor, a multi-phase trainer, a reconstruction engine, a deconstruction engine, and one or more reference codebooks. A multi-phase trainer may be used to train the reconstruction and deconstruction engines on various phase sourceblocks in order recover quickly from corrupted data files that cause the phase alignment of the sourceblocks to become out of phase. A phase detector may determine when the sourceblocks get out of phase and when the return to in-phase by checking if a predetermined threshold probability of correct encoding is met. Data requestor may request for retransmission only the data that was received out of phase.

Abstract: A system and method for file type identification involving extraction of a file-print of a file, the file-print being a unique or practically-unique representation of statistical characteristics associated with the distribution of bits in the binary contents of the file, similar to a fingerprint. The file-print is then passed to a machine learning algorithm that has been trained to recognize file types from their file-prints. The machine learning algorithm returns a predicted file type and, in some cases, a probability of correctness of the prediction. The file may then be encoded using an encoding algorithm chosen based on the predicted file type.

Abstract: The inventor has conceived, and reduced to practice, a system and method for data compaction using that applies delta encoding methods to entropy encoding methods to improve data compaction of entropy encoding methods under certain conditions and when compacting data having certain characteristics. Delta encoding may be applied to entropy encoding methods to further compact data sets by reducing the number of sourceblocks included in a codebook to those most commonly encountered in data to be encoded and, where mismatches occur during encoding, using delta encoding of bit differences with existing sourceblocks in the codebook rather than adding new sourceblocks to the codebook.

Abstract: A system and method for low-distortion compaction of floating-point numbers comprising a pre-encoder, a data deconstruction engine, a library manager, a codeword storage, and a data reconstruction engine. A pre-encoder may receive a plurality of data sourcepackets with may contain one or more floating-point numbers and the received data sourcepackets are scanned to identify floating-point numbers and the identified floating-point numbers. Identified floating-point numbers may be pre-encoded into binary string representations which are low-distortion embeddings of real numbers into a Hamming space. The binary string representation may be indexed to indicate it represents a floating-point number before being compacted by a data deconstruction engine and library manager. The pre-encoding of floating-point numbers located within a sourcepacket enables the system to maximize the benefit of the compaction capabilities of the data deconstruction engine.

Abstract: A system and method for encoding data utilizing mismatch probability estimates. A training data set can be statistically analyzed to calculate a mismatch probability estimate which is the estimated frequency at which a data packet received during system runtime is not part of (i.e., a mismatch) the training data set. A plurality of tokens may be created, based on the mismatch probability estimate, to represent potential mismatched data that may be encountered during runtime, and an entropy encoder may generate codewords for the tokens using the mismatch probability estimate. An opcode, indicating a mismatch, may be generated and appended to the generated codewords to form a mismatch codeword. During runtime when a mismatch occurs, the system can retrieve a mismatch codeword and assign it to the mismatched data, making the encoder system robust against previously unencountered data.
