- gymbeaux 2y agoWhat did they call their algorithms before they passed away?
- atiedebee 2y agoLooking at the paper linked on the wikipedia page for Huffman Coding, David Huffman referred to Huffman Coding as just "optimum coding" [0] [0] http://compression.ru/download/articles/huff/huffman_1952_minimum-redundancy-codes.pdf http://compression.ru/download/articles/huff/huffman_1952_mi...
