Comment: 算術符号がポピュラーになってしまったのでハフマン符号は
        忘れられているが、ハフマン符号はそんなに効率が悪い
        わけでもないし計算も高速にできるのでまだまだ使い道が
        あるという話
Abstract: It is paradoxical that, as the technology for storing and
        transmitting information has gotten cheaper and more
        effective, interest in data compression has increased. 
        There are many explanations, but most conspicuous is that
        improvements in media have expanded our sense of what we
        wish to store. For example, CD-ROM technology allows as
        to store whole libraries instead of records describing
        individual items; but the requirements of storing full
        text easily exceeds the capabilities even of the optical
        format. Similarly, there is growing interest in storing
        and transmitting images: in color and at improved
        resolutions, sometimes in animation. For such cased, data
        compression can be a very powerful means of increasing
        the effective capacity of the technology. ....
