Samsung patents AI-driven data decompression for memory devices
Samsung describes a method where a memory device uses a neural network to predict how likely certain data patterns are during decompression. This prediction helps the device reconstruct the original data from a compressed format more efficiently when a computer requests it.
In the filing’s own words
A processor-implemented method performed by a memory device includes receiving a read request for target data from a host; reading a compression bitstream corresponding to the target data from a memory; predicting, at a first time point, a second probability distribution of a second data symbol of the target data by performing a neural probability distribution prediction based on a first previous data symbol group of the target data, determined by decompression of a time point interval previous to the first time point; and determining, at a second time point later than the first time point, the second data symbol by decompressing the compression bitstream according to entropy decoding based on the compression bitstream and the second probability distribution.
What exactly they claim (claim 1)
1. A processor-implemented method performed by a memory device, the method comprising: receiving a read request for target data from a host; reading a compression bitstream corresponding to the target data from a memory; predicting, at a first time point, a second probability distribution of a second data symbol of the target data by performing a neural probability distribution prediction based on a first previous data symbol group of the target data, determined by decompression of a time point interval previous to the first time point; and determining, at a second time point later than the first time point, the second data symbol by decompressing the compression bitstream according to entropy decoding based on the compression bitstream and the second probability distribution.
