What is information?
Describes real world
Distinguished into
Data: stored symbols
Messages: stored concepts
Depend on context
Data
unit of information
symbol fixed to a medium
Data Reduction
function which reduces magnitude of Data on a medium
in conjunction with expansion method
Lossy Data reduction
Data is reduced, some parts are deleted by:
Selection
identifying (ir-)relevant events
limited effectiveness or lost relevant data
Compression
requires knowledge of use case
Lossless Data reduction
Data is reduced without losing data by:
(En-)coding
maximizing average data per symbol
reducing redundancy
use cases for data reduction
large amounts of data / growing data rates:
Development
Homologation (Zertifizierung)
Driving Function
Monitoring
Crash reconstruction
e.g. Approval Trap overcome: 70 ExaByte necessary
Precise use case knowledge
precise knowledge is needed to differenciate between relevant and irrelevant data for selection
Basic components for Context Aware Data Reduction
Compression on selected information
Fine tunable threshold for (ir-)relevance
Lossless storage of relevant information
Overview of data reduction techniques
lossless:
Huffman Coding: bit lengths for characters are determined by frequency of character
Dictionary coding: adding bits for recurring character combinations
lossy:
VAAFO: human drives vehicle, AI acts virtually, identification of possible errors
