The Evolution of Data Compression Algorithms: From Huffman Coding to Modern AI-Based Compression Techniques

Abstract Data compression is essential for reducing the storage and transmission requirements of the rapidly growing volume of digital data. This study examines the evolution of data compression techniques from classical entropy coding methods to modern approaches that incorporate security and machine learning. It reviews lossless and lossy compression and analyzes classical methods including Huffman and arithmetic coding, along with adaptive compression techniques. The study further explores chaos-based compression methods that integrate data reduction with security through chaotic sequences, dynamic S-Boxes, and secure adaptive coding. Neural compression is also examined, focusing on neural networks for context modeling, deep model compression, end-to-end learned image compression, and implicit neural representations. Through secondary analysis of existing literature, the study compares these approaches based on compression efficiency, processing time, computational complexity, security, adaptability, and practical applicability. The findings indicate that different methods involve trade-offs, suggesting that hybrid approaches combining classical compression, security mechanisms, and machine learning may offer useful directions for future research.
