CodeGraph: Open-Taxonomy Knowledge Graph for Source Code with Wikidata Grounding

Federico Pennino, Andrea Gurioli, Stefano Zacchiroli +2

Public software repositories, like GitHub and Software Heritage Archive, store billions of files, yet extracting their implicit engineering knowledge ---i.e., the algorithms they i…

Diffuse to Compress: Leveraging Diffusion LMs for Lossless Compression

Angelo Nardone, Paolo Ferragina

We study the problem of lossless text compression, motivated by the rapid growth in the collection and storage of digital textual data - including plain text, source code, and stru…

Extended Depth-First Representations of -trees

Gabriel Carmona, Paolo Ferragina, Giovanni Manzini +1

In this paper, we study static, computation-friendly, lossless compression formats for graphs, focusing on memory locality and operational efficiency of -trees. We observe tha…

Compressibility Measures and Succinct Data Structures for Piecewise Linear Approximations

Paolo Ferragina, Filippo Lari

We study the problem of deriving compressibility measures for Piecewise Linear Approximations (PLAs), i.e., error-bounded approximations of a set of two-dimensional increasing data…
