Previous work has focused on developing lower bound approaches that can provide insights into the fundamental limits of compression. This includes the use of hierarchical embeddings, combinatorial methods, and communication complexity. Our article builds upon this foundation by introducing new techniques and combining existing methods to achieve better lower bounds.
Technical Overview (200 words)
Our approach consists of two parts: an "ideal" lower bound approach and a more practical one based on hierarchical embeddings. The ideal approach is based on round elimination via direct-sum, which provides a theoretical guarantee for the lower bound. The practical approach uses hierarchical embeddings to reduce the computational complexity of the round elimination algorithm, making it more feasible for real-world applications.
Combinatorial Part (100 words)
In the combinatorial part, we focus on dense graphs with many induced subgraphs, which are particularly relevant to compression. Our approach involves counting the number of induced subgraphs and using this information to derive a lower bound on the compression ratio.
Information-Theoretic Part (100 words)
The information-theoretic part of our approach leverages the power of round elimination via direct-sum. By combining this technique with hierarchical embeddings, we are able to achieve better lower bounds than previous work. This approach is more practical and can be applied to a wider range of compression algorithms.
