Extension To Rate Distortion and Denoising
It turns out that the approach can be extended to a theory of rate distortion of individual finite sequences and denoising of individual finite sequences using Kolmogorov complexity. Experiments using real compressor programs have been carried out with success. Here the assumption is that for natural data the Kolmogorov complexity is not far from the length of a compressed version using a good compressor.

Famous quotes containing the words extension, rate and/or distortion:
“The desert is a natural extension of the inner silence of the body. If humanity’s language, technology, and buildings are an extension of its constructive faculties, the desert alone is an extension of its capacity for absence, the ideal schema of humanity’s disappearance.”
—Jean Baudrillard (b. 1929)
“Whoever thinks his friend more important than his country, I rate him nowhere.”
—Sophocles (497–406/5 B.C.)
“It is not enough for theory to describe and analyse, it must itself be an event in the universe it describes. In order to do this theory must partake of and become the acceleration of this logic. It must tear itself from all referents and take pride only in the future. Theory must operate on time at the cost of a deliberate distortion of present reality.”
—Jean Baudrillard (b. 1929)
