Abstract: Example embodiments relate to using a multi-context entropy coder for encoding adjacency lists. A system may obtain a graph having data (or multiple graphs) and may compress the data of the graph using a multi -context entropy coder. The multi-context entropy coder may encode adjacency lists within the data such that each integer is assigned to a different probability distribution. For example, operating the multi-context entropy coder may involve using a combination of arithmetic coding, Huffman coding, and ANS. The assignment of integers to the probability distributions may depend on each integer’s role and/or previous values of a similar kind. By using multi -context entropy- coding, the computing system may increase compression ratio while maintaining similar processing speed.
