i am curious to know the results when using a text-specific compression method. Text specific compression would more likely approximate Kolmogorov complexity for their use case.
I'm also curious whether a lossy text compression scheme would work better. Lossy compression schemes reduce data size by eliminating certain information and accepting some degree of loss of original data quality, similar to how JPEGs work for images. Examples include simplifying language (e.g., converting British English to American English), using synonyms, abbreviating words, or even removing certain parts of the text that are deemed less important.
