This project is a simplified implementation of the gzip compression algorithm. The code here is used in my blogpost, which can be found here.
Run main.py in order to test the algorithm and view the output at various stages of compression.
The gzip_classification.py file makes use of gzip as a text classifier. I explain how this is possible in the blog post. It is based on a paper entitled "Less is More: Parameter-Free Text Classification with Gzip".
