  2. Combine these two symbols into a single symbol and repeat.

Disadvantages Of The Huffman Code

  • Changing ensemble
    • If the ensemble changes the frequencies and probabilities change the optimal coding changes
    • For example in text compression symbol frequencies vary with context
    • ReComputing the Huffman code by running through the entire file in advance?
    • Saving or transmitting the code too
  • Does not consider 'blocks of symbols'
    • 'strings_of_ch' the next nine symbols are predictable 'aracters_', but bits are used without conveying any new information
