CURL: Contrastive Unsupervised Representations for Reinforcement Learning
hi there today we're going to look at curl contrastive unsupervised representations for reinforcement learning by Aravind Sreenivas Michel Laskin and Petra Biel so this is a general framework for unsupervised representation learning for our L so let's untangle the title a little bit it is for reinforcement learning which it if you don't know what reinforcement learning is I've done a bunch of videos on are L afraid works so it's for general reinforcement learning that means it can be paired with almost any RL algorithm out there so we're not

going to you know dive into specific or allowed rooms today it is unsupervised which means it doesn't need any sort of labels and it also doesn't need a reward signal forum RL which is pretty cool because usually the entire RL pipelines rely on some sort of a reward or auxiliary reward signal now there is a training objective here but it doesn't have to do with the RL reward and then in the it is learning representations which means it learns it learns intermediate representations of the input data that is useful and in the end

it is contrastive and that is the the kind of secret sauce in here the training objective it's what's called contrastive learning and that's what we're going to spend most of our time on today exploring what that means alright so here's the general framework you can see it down here sorry about that so you can see that reinforcement learning is just a box which is we don't care about the RL algorithm you use that's just you know what what comes at the end what comes at the beginning oh here is the observation so the observation in an RL

algorithm is kind of fundamental now if someone explains RL to you or reinforcement learning usually what they'll say is there is some kind of actor and there is some kind of environment right and the environment will give you an observation right observation Oh which is some sort of let's say here is an image right so in this in this RL framework specifically the examples they give are of image based reinforcement learning so let's say the Atari game where you have this little spaceship here and there are meteorites up here and you need to shoot

them so there is a little shot here right you need to shoot those meteorites right so this is the observation oh and then as an age as an actor you have to come up with some sort of action and the actions here can be something like moved to the left move to the right press the button that you know does the shooting so you have to come up with an action somehow given this observation and then the environment will give you back a reward along with the next observation like the next frame of the game and you're gonna have to come up with

another action in response to that and the environments going to give you back another reward and the next observation and so on so what you want to do is you want to find a mapping from observation to action such that your reward is going to be as high as possible right this is the fundamental problem of RL and usually what people do is they take this act this mapping here from observation to action to be some sort of function some sort of function that is parameterised maybe and nowadays of course it's often a neural network but

you're trying to learn given the input observation what output action you need to do and you can think of the same here so you have this input observation up here and down here after the reinforcement learning the output is going to be an action right and so this this function we talked about up here is usually implemented sorry is usually implement as you put the observation into the r.l framework and then the RL framework learns this f of theta function to give you an action now here you can see the pipeline is a bit different we don't

want to shove the observation in directly right we don't want the observation directly but what we put into the RL framework is this Q thing now the Q is supposed to be a representation of the observation and a useful representation so if we think of this of this game here of this Atari game up here what could be the what could be a useful representation if if I had to craft one by hand how would I construct a useful representation keep in mind the representation the goal is to have a representation of the observation that is more useful to the

RL algorithm than just the pure pixels of the image right so if I have to craft a representation let's say it's a vector right let's say our our our representations need to be vectors what I would do is I would probably take the x and y coordinates of the little spaceship right x and y and put it in the vector that's pretty useful and then I would probably take the x and y coordinates of the meteorites that are around right let's say there are maximum two XY XY here I would probably take the angle right the angle where my spaceship

is pointing to that should be pretty useful because if I shoot I want to know where I shoot right so theta here and then probably maybe the X and y coordinate of the of the shot here of the red shot that I fired if there is one right also going to put that into my representation so x and y and maybe Delta X Delta Y something like this right so you can see if I had to handcraft something if I I can pretty much guarantee that if I put in this representation right here into the RL algorithm but put this in here it would turn out

guaranteed it would turn out to be a better or L agent that learns faster than if I put in the original observation which is the the pixel image of the game right because of course in order to play the game correctly in order to play the game to win you need to extract this information right you need to get our there's something like a spaceship there's something like meteorites this is all things that are elegant doesn't know her say and would have to learn from the pixels right but if I already give it the information

that is useful it can learn much faster all right so you can see if I handcraft a good representation it's pretty easy for the RL algorithm to improve now we want to come up with a framework that automatically comes up with a good representation right so it alleviates the RL algorithm here that reinforcement it alleviates that from learn from having to learn a good representation right it already is burdened with learning the what a good action is in any given situation right we want to alleviate it of the burden to also

extract useful information from the from the observation space right so how do we do this this is Q here is supposed to be exactly that it's supposed to be a good representation but not one that we handcrafted but a used with a technique that can be employed pretty much everywhere and the goal sorry that the secret sauce here is this contrastive loss thing okay this bombed contrastive learning is this this kind of magic thing that will make us good representations so what is contrastive learning in this case I'm

going to explain in this case for this kind of image based for image based reinforcement learning but just for image based neural networks how can we come up with a contrastive loss so you see there's kind of a two pipeline thing going on here there is like this and this and then one of them is going to be the good encoding all right so let's check it out let's say we have this image that we had before right draw it again this little spaceship this and this and so right and we want to we want to do this what we

need to do is we need to produce three different things from it we need to produce an anchor what's called an anchor so we need to produce a positive sample positive sample and we need to produce negative samples let's just go with one negative sample for now right so the goal is to come up with a task that where we produce our own labels right so we want since we're training a encoder and the encoder is a neural network that's parametrized we need some sort of loss function so the goal is to come up with a method where we can

create our own labels to a task but that we construct the task in a way such that the neural network has no choice but learn something meaningful even though we made the task of ourselves all right I hope this was kind of clear so how are we gonna do this our method of choice here is going to be random cropping now random cropping means that I just I take an image right and I crop a a piece from it so a smaller piece from the image I just take a view inside the image so in case of the anchor right I'm gonna draw the same picture here bear with me

I'm gonna draw the same picture here a couple of times this is all supposed to be the same picture and with the negative sample I'm just gonna leave it empty for now there are two meteorites two meteorites shot shot right so for the anchor we're going to actually not random crop but center crop right so we're going to take here the center image right so the assumption is kind of that if I Center if I Center crop I won't lose you know too much of the image I can actually make the crop bigger such that almost everything of

the image is somewhat contained in this and that yeah all right so this is going to be my anchor and then the positive sample is going to be a random crop of the same image so I'm just randomly going to select a same size same size section from that image let's say this is up right here all right and the negative sample is going to be around the crop from a different image right so a different image might be from the same game right but might be there is a meteorite here right and there is no shot I don't I don't shoot and I'm going

to take a random crop from this let's say I'm going to take a random crop here let's put a meteorite here as well just for fun all right so these are going to be our three samples and now the question is going to be if I give the anchor to the neural network I'm going to say I give you the anchor right but I'm also going to give you this and this thing and I'm not going to give any of this I'm just going to give whatever I cropped right so just just these things so I asked the neural network neural network I give you the

is the positive sample while this image here is the negative sample right so this is the task that you ask of the neural network give it the anchor and you ask which one of the of these two comes from the same image right this is called contrastive learning now is a bit more complicated in that of course what you do is you encode these things using neural networks and then so each of the things you encode so the anchor you're going to encode all of these things using a neural network right and then this is what's going to

become the query and these are becoming the keys so key one or key two and then you're going to feed it always two of them into a bilinear product right the bilinear product is simply you can think of it as an inner product in a perturbed space that you can learn so you're going to have this you have these two here these go into q WK one and then these two here sorry this and this go into q w k 2 now W here is a learnable parameter right so you have some freedom and then you basically take whichever one of those two is highest right so this might

be this high and this might only be this high and then you say aha cool this one's higher so this one must be the positive right and you train the W specifically to make this higher to make the positive ones higher and the negative ones a lower so this is a supervised learning task right where these things here are going to be the lockets or or the so their inner product but you basically then pick the one that is highest as a in a soft max way and they put this in the paper so if we go down here the objective that they use to

do the contrastive learning is this one so as you can see it's a soft max like in multi-class classification of the inner product the bilinear product with the positive samples over the bilinear product with the positive samples plus the bilinear product with all of the negative samples so you're going to come up with more than one negative sample all right now the only thing left that we don't have here is that the encoding how you're going to come from the image space to this space here is going to be slightly different and depending on

whether you're talking on the anchor or on the what what are called the keys the things you compare to and this is out of a kind of a stability criterion you already maybe you don't you know like something like double q-learning or things like this it sometimes when you train with your own thing so in q-learning you're kind of trying to to come up with an actor and a critic or it's not the same thing but you're kind of using the same neural network twice in in your in your setup and then you compare the output stored to each other

which isn't you know it leads to instability so in our case we took it three times here or multiple times especially for the same objective here we have twice something that was encoded by the same neural networking isn't the two sides of this by linear product so if we were to use the same neural network that tends to be somewhat unstable so we have different neural networks one that will encode the query which is this F Q + 1 which will encode the keys sorry F ok now we don't want to learn to neural networks and that's why

there's a bit of a compromise where we say it is the same neural network but but basically this one is the one we learn and then we always every now and then we transfer over the parameters to that one and in fact each step we transfer over the parameters and do an exponential moving average with the parameters of this momentum encoder from the step before so the momentum encoder parameters are a moving average of the parameters of the query encoder and that is so you get kind of get the best of both worlds you don't

have to learn a second neural network but your second neural network is not the same as your first neural network but it it kind of lags behind but it is also it is also performing almost as well so that is um I don't know if that makes sense but it is the best I can to explain it so to recap you take your observation you encode it as a query sorry you crop crop here for your anchor that gets your query and then you random crop for your keys right into positive and negative samples right so random crop from the same observation or from

different observations right these become your positive and negative samples then you take you take me push this through your encoders for the query and for the keys respectively you end up with the Q which is the encoded anchor and the case which are the encoded positive and negative samples and then you learn you update this encoder here using the contrastive loss right and at the same time you feed the q you feed the q here into the reinforcement learning algorithm and you learn your reinforcement learning algorithm instead

of giving having the observation directly as an input here you now have the Q here as an input right that is it the reinforcement learning works exactly the same but except having the so input Oh you now have the representation input queue and you don't have to worry about anything else in terms of the reinforcement learning algorithm it stays exactly the same right the this whole thing here can actually run either in parallel or you can think of it before you can think of it off policy on policy it is sort of

modular how you how you fit this in it simply comes up with good representations so that is that is basically a deal here right and you hope that the whole procedure of this contrastive learning then gives you good representation of this anchor thing here if you encode that to the queue you hope that this representation now is a good representation as a basis for the RL algorithm and it turns out at least in their experiments it is so here you see the same thing they actually they do something more where in RL usually deal

with a stack of observations not just a single observation because so for example in Atari people always concatenate something like for the four last frames right and their their point is okay if we have this stack here if we do this data augmentation you know these crops we kind of need to do them consistently right we need to crop every single image at the same point for the query and also if we do a random crop let's say a random crop down here we need to do this same random crop for all of the of the stack of images here right

so um that that is kind of the additional thing they introduced it with respect to RL that deals with with stacked time frames but it's kind of the same the same diagram as above here right so they explained the the RL algorithms they use and exactly they're they're their thing and here you can see that anchor is a crop and the positive sample is a random crop from the same image this would be up here somewhere the anchor is cropped from the middle and then the negative would be a random crop from a different

CURL: Contrastive Unsupervised Representations for Reinforcement Learning
moving average for my key encoder and they test on two different things they test on the deepmind control tasks and they always test 100 K time steps so their big point is data efficiency right they they claim they can use learn useful representations with not much data so the task is here how good are you at one 100 cases that time steps right so you don't you don't optimize until the end you just you get 100k time steps and then the question is how how good are you and the curl here outperforms all of the baselines handily in the deep mind

control tasks and it also outperforms a lot of the baselines in the Atari tasks and it actually if you look at the results it doesn't outperform everything but for example here the red is curl and the dashed gray is state as a si now state si si the important thing to note here is it has access to the state whereas curl only works from pixels right so that what I said before like if I had to craft the use for a presentation basically state si si has access to that and you see that in many of the tasks that the curl comes close

or performs equally well to the state si si right so that's pretty impressive especially if you've took at pixel si si sorry which is the same algorithm but does not have access to the state just the pixels it often fails terribly right so um that is pretty interesting to see and even to me it's pretty interesting to see that this kind of this kind of algorithm this kind of self labeled algorithm comes up with such useful representations all right so I hope I have explained this satisfactorily and check out the paper for more experiments

through a history of this and how it's even earlier I always have a bit of a trouble with claims like who invented what because when it is an algo them really the same thing right and when he when is it a variation on another algorithm and when is it something completely new it's never entirely clear but the the points here made that the things the backpropagation algorithm existed before Hinton and also that some of the papers some of the seminal papers did not cite the correct origin statement to in 2002 he

Hinton's interesting unsupervised pre training for deep neural networks was irrelevant for the current latif learning revolution in 2010 our team showed that the feed-forward networks can be trained by plain backprop do not at all require

fighter you don't have to do that but it's also doubtful that this this was a step even though even if it wasn't on the exact path to the current situation it was a thing that got people excited maybe and so the critique is like half valid and also it doesn't help me to burn that he always compares it to his own things like it just it just like either criticized them for you know in general things but then avoid bringing your own things in because it just sounds like I did this before and also I read some papers

this because speech recognition is of course prime LS TM territory so you don't want to go near this and the Honda further says revolutionized computer vision by showing that deep learning worked far better than existing state of the art and again he says the basic ingredients were already there and so on and the our team in Switzerland already used his first superior award-winning GPU based CNN and so on that's what it's called dan net was produced by his group and again this seems correct right this seems when he lays it out like this but

first published about rock crop but he doesn't say he invented it what I've claimed is that I was the person to clearly demonstrate that back prop could learn interesting in turn represent and that that this is what made it popular right so this goes into into the direction schmidhuber is very much on academic contributions idea was there before and hint and basically says no what we did is kind of we showed that it works in this particular way and we can have got people excited about it I did is by forcing that blah blah blah and it

use it for learning distributed representations so I'd like to set the record straight on that and then he said maybe Jurgen would like to set the record straight on who invented LST M's boom boom crazy shot shots fired by Hinton here this is I mean this is just great but again look at what Hinton says Hinton basically says yes I have not invented that I have corrected this on public record in the past and yeah so so that's what Hinton says and I mean the the the comments here are just gold I really invite you to read it and then

schmidhuber of course being Schmidt who replies again down here he has a a response to the reply and I don't expect Hinton to reply again so I waited for a bit but but I I believe him when he says he does it only once so he goes into this summary the facts presented in sections 1 2 3 4 5 are still valid so he goes what kind of statement by statements is having a public debate blah blah blah and he says this is an ad hominem attack which is true right this is true and he says he even has multiple aliases in Wikipedia

and he just says another ad hominem attack and then he goes into that schmidhuber tries to discredit Alan Turing and then shmita goes into this big long big long basically claim that Alan Turing wasn't as important as people made him out to be and people invented this kind of Turing machine equivalents before that again it's kind of showing tubers take that the idea basically was already there and these people don't get the correct credit and also he's correct that this is a this is a true it's an ad hominem attack right so you know be it

exact time when backprop was invented even though it probably wasn't in the current exact current formulation and it probably existed someone like this so but again and he his main claim is dr.

The power of yet. I heard about a high school in Chicago where students had to pass a certain number of courses to graduate, and if they didn't pass a course, they got the grade "Not Yet." And I thought that was fantastic, because if you get a failing grade, you think, I'm nothing, I'm nowhere. But if you get the grade "Not Yet", you understand that you're on a learning curve. It gives you a path into the future. "Not Yet" also gave me insight into a critical event early in my career, a real turning point. I wanted to see

how children coped with challenge and difficulty, so I gave 10-year-olds problems that were slightly too hard for them. Some of them reacted in a shockingly positive way. They said things like, "I love a challenge," or, "You know, I was hoping this would be informative." They understood that their abilities could be developed. They had what I call a growth mindset. But other students felt it was tragic, catastrophic. From their more fixed mindset perspective, their intelligence had been up for judgment, and they failed.

Instead of luxuriating in the power of yet, they were gripped in the tyranny of now. So what do they do next? I'll tell you what they do next. In one study, they told us they would probably cheat the next time instead of studying more if they failed a test. In another study, after a failure, they looked for someone who did worse than they did so they could feel really good about themselves. And in study after study, they have run from difficulty. Scientists measured the electrical activity from the brain as students confronted an error.

On the left, you see the fixed-mindset students. There's hardly any activity. They run from the error. They don't engage with it. But on the right, you have the students with the growth mindset, the idea that abilities can be developed. They engage deeply. Their brain is on fire with yet. They engage deeply. They process the error. They learn from it and they correct it. How are we raising our children? Are we raising them for now instead of yet? Are we raising kids who are obsessed with getting As? Are we raising kids who don't know how to dream big dreams?

Their biggest goal is getting the next A, or the next test score? And are they carrying this need for constant validation with them into their future lives? Maybe, because employers are coming to me and saying, "We have already raised a generation of young workers who can't get through the day without an award." So what can we do? How can we build that bridge to yet? Here are some things we can do. First of all, we can praise wisely, not praising intelligence or talent. That has failed. Don't do that anymore.

But praising the process that kids engage in, their effort, their strategies, their focus, their perseverance, their improvement. This process praise creates kids who are hardy and resilient. There are other ways to reward yet. We recently teamed up with game scientists from the University of Washington to create a new online math game that rewarded yet. In this game, students were rewarded for effort, strategy and progress. The usual math game rewards you for getting answers right, right now, but this game rewarded process.

And we got more effort, more strategies, more engagement over longer periods of time, and more perseverance when they hit really, really hard problems. Just the words "yet" or "not yet," we're finding, give kids greater confidence, give them a path into the future that creates greater persistence. And we can actually change students' mindsets. In one study, we taught them that every time they push out of their comfort zone to learn something new and difficult, the neurons in their brain can form new, stronger connections,

and over time, they can get smarter. Look what happened: In this study, students who were not taught this growth mindset continued to show declining grades over this difficult school transition, but those who were taught this lesson showed a sharp rebound in their grades. We have shown this now, this kind of improvement, with thousands and thousands of kids, especially struggling students. So let's talk about equality. In our country, there are groups of students who chronically underperform, for example, children in inner cities,

or children on Native American reservations. And they've done so poorly for so long that many people think it's inevitable. But when educators create growth mindset classrooms steeped in yet, equality happens. And here are just a few examples. In one year, a kindergarten class in Harlem, New York scored in the 95th percentile on the national achievement test. Many of those kids could not hold a pencil when they arrived at school. In one year, fourth-grade students in the South Bronx, way behind, became the number one fourth-grade class in the state of New York

on the state math test. In a year, to a year and a half, Native American students in a school on a reservation went from the bottom of their district to the top, and that district included affluent sections of Seattle. So the Native kids outdid the Microsoft kids. This happened because the meaning of effort and difficulty were transformed. Before, effort and difficulty made them feel dumb, made them feel like giving up, but now, effort and difficulty, that's when their neurons are making new connections, stronger connections.

That's when they're getting smarter. I received a letter recently from a 13-year-old boy. He said, "Dear Professor Dweck, I appreciate that your writing is based on solid scientific research, and that's why I decided to put it into practice. I put more effort into my schoolwork, into my relationship with my family, and into my relationship with kids at school, and I experienced great improvement in all of those areas. I now realize I've wasted most of my life." Let's not waste any more lives, because once we know

other thing that's coming up in two weeks we'll have our midterm which will figure out how to do it remote under the current circumstances but the main thing we'll do later this week is release a set of study materials for you that capture the core of the things covered in the class their very core compressive a little bit because of how much we're going to have you study because of course a more difficult semester than most you do outside circumstances so a relatively short study guide and it'll be a PDF with the questions and the

answers and so you'll know exactly what the questions can be and what the answers are that we expect you to get so that will come out later today or tomorrow for you to study link pause here and see if there's any questions about logistics oh and by the way this lecture is recorded so for some reason you you know don't like your voice to be heard just like with the in-class lectures that were recorded then please be aware of that alright then let's get started with the Contin first day so compression what is

it and why would we care in general and why would we there in this class so what is it it's an data you might want to reduce the number of bits for encoding a message a message could be an image you want to send or part of speech or maybe some music you want to send across on communication line and it's an original in a collisional format might take up a very large number of bits and you might want to be able to get that same information across by seeing last bits in the communication channel so what does it

look like you have some bit stream B on the left here so that's where you start out with then what happens next is you want to compress it and end up with a compressed version of that bit stream and the hope that that compressed version has lost its anatomy original so when you send a compressed extreme over a channel or stored on a hard drive or whatever you want to do with those bits in a more compressed way then it's ideally a lot less good but then when you want to use it later you should be able to expand it back out just the

compression into the original alright so why do we care well you could save time you could save bandwidth over communications channel you could save space when you're storing it so many reasons you might care about this from the AI point of view and part of why it's interesting for this class is that often the ability to compress data reflects understanding of the data by the system that compressed the data so if you throw this in that's really by compressing data that means that system somehow has absorbed an understanding of

the data so now there's two types of compression lossy versus lossless compression in this lecture we'll be fully focused on lossless compression where the original bits can be completely reconstructed on the output now sometimes in practice you might care about lossy compression you say well I don't need all the details back as long as I can save more bits I'm happy to lose some detail that would be loss of compression not the topic for this class but also a topic you might be interested in at some point so I want to make sure

you know it exists now one of the very interesting things with compression there are some prizes associated it so recently hutter I should increase the price used to be a 50,000 euro prize for compressing human knowledge and recently it went up to factor 10 it's now a five hundred thousand euro prize if you can compress human knowledge what does it mean more concretely so there's a one gigabyte file of I believe text and this file here and with nine and if you can compress that to less than one hundred sixteen megabytes you win the prize you

L10 Compression -- UC Berkeley, Spring 2020, CS294-158 Deep Unsupervised Learning
won this thing you cracked it the reason how to read out the surprise is not so much because it specifically wants that one gigabyte compressed into one sixteen megabytes because he believes now we go by it has interesting information that any system that can represent it as compactly as one sixteen megabytes must have made its hopefully that's what it thinks some AI advances to be able to do that it's pretty interesting here because unlike most things we've covered in this class and you'll see in any kind of machine learning there's no train at

st it's not that he asked you to send in a compressor and has a secret test set is gonna test your compressor on to see how it works no it's literally there's a 1 gigabyte file and if you can make it smaller small enough you win the prize what's gonna be able to decompress it so you gotta be able to effectively send him something that's 116 megabytes or less and includes the code for decoding back into the one gigabyte so you'd be sending effectively both the decoder program and some encoding of this monkey bad file together it would be able to

reconstruct the original 1 gigabyte file so very very specific problem there's no test said just that one training example but nobody's got them close to actually making this work so interesting challenge maybe something you want to think about at some point and see if it can make some progress then there's another compression challenge on images so this is often held at CDR the main conference for computer vision and so there's a workshop there that looks at how well your compressor and there it's really about a compressor that you send

in compressor of course and they have a secret asset on which they test how well you can compress and decompress the test examples so two very different challenges but both very much at the core what we're going to be thinking about today in lecture all right so why in this course it turns out that we've studied a lot of generic models in this course it also turns out that compression utilizes generative models so the better it narrative model the better the compression can be and in fact Jonathan who will cover the second

half of this lecture has made several breakthroughs in this PhD research showing how some of the state-of-the-art generative models can be converted into compression algorithms with the CIO narrative models under the hood such that you can get better compression now you might go get otherwise and we'll cover that later but so there's a very close connection between better generative models and better compression there be material we would recommend for this lecture is this PDF overview to the nice write-up that

covers the background on essentially information theory slack impression that we'll be covering in this lecture at least the first half in the second half will dive a lot more in the deep learning aspects and how and tied it into this so some applications you might have seen jarick file compression gz p z 7z a zip file systems various multimedia formats you might have seen a file - fake file gif file mp3 mp4 communications that maybe you don't see news anymore now but where compression played a big role in the

past fax modem Skype and so forth and all of these are examples of where here original information might have been represented with many many bits too large for you to a store on file in that format and because you can reduce them or they can get back out the original you can now store it more efficiently or send it more efficiently over get in line when he said it more official over communication line it can reduce both the amount of does he need to send then in the process also reduce the latency because it might be less

delay assuming you can decode quickly on the other side now maybe you might have followed this TV show called Silicon Valley it's uh well pretty finish I would say with many things that are maybe a little too close to home and too close to true but still pretty funny and if you watch that show on HBO you have noticed that actually the company the central company Pied Piper would they put forward as their product is the well a middle-out compression algorithm nobody knows what middle out this but they put forward a compression algorithm

and that's the secret sauce of their company turns out that some people really do this for their actual company so there's various startups out there that you invent don't disclose exactly what's under the hood but invent new compression algorithms using machine learning under the hood most likely to improve upon past state of garden compression now the specific point I shoulda named itself after the Silicon Valley show which was called the company's called Pied Piper and this is now called pact pie so there's actually

a real thing they presented at TechCrunch in 2015 now first question you might ask is can we have universal data compression so their fundamental question you'll see in this lecture a lot of questions we ask them to be very fundamental where we can give actually very very strong theoretical answers sometimes negative answers so can we come up with universal data impressive would that mean that would be can we come up with something that no matter what let's say filing you give it it can make it smaller and later decompress it

back out to the original well the things that's possible well okay let's see imagine you want to compress every possible to compress every possible possible bitstream they ever encounter okay so that's not possible no longer we can do this what's the intuition that should be simple we'll do a proof by contradiction suppose you have a universal data compression algorithm you that can compress every bit streams no matter what your feet it is gonna make it less bits and then go to decompress it back out later to the original okay now given

bit string B 0 you can compress it to get a smaller bit string B 1 if it strictly last bits otherwise it's not a universal compressor now B you want you can feed into it again it'll turn that into B 2 which is yet smaller you keep doing this you do this especially many times at some point you'll have a big string of size 0 at that point it's obvious you cannot recover what the earth will lost kiss you it could have been anything and everything gets turned into 0 you can get back out will int it so what this shows them assuming

somebody tells you I have a universal data compression already compress everything no problem here's a prove that this is actually not possible to prove it another way also another way to prove it is to do it by Counting you can say okay suppose your algorithm can compress all thousand histories ok how many thousand bit strings are there we throw the one thousand possible bit strings now if we can compress all them that means we can pick every one of them and turn them into something smaller and distinct smaller otherwise we cannot get the

original back out but if we look at what's possible with all possible shorter bit strings actually you cannot encode all two to the 1000 possible thousand bit strings so since we can't include all possible to the 1000 bit strings it means we cannot compress all of them so we have two different proves here to show that the universal data compression just not possible why is impossible and practice though even if you cannot universally compress everything well there are statistical patterns that you can exploit for

example here's a piece of text and I'll give you all a minute to read this text so as you're reading this text you'll you'll notice well likely you'll notice that there's something fun about the text and that the words are mostly misspelled but despite these was being misspelled it's how she's still very feasible to read this and effectively what it says is that most people have no problem reading a piece of text if for every word you keep the first two letters you keep the last two letters but then everything in between you can
