Last week we spoke a little bit about Google's spam detection. Here are two interesting discussions about that work.

What's it like to fight web spam at Google?

COMP6021 Week 05 Preview

Next week we will begin our look at compression algorithms.

I expect we will see

• Run Length Encoding
• Relative Coding
• Variable Length Codes
• Huffman Coding
• Lempel-Ziv-Welch Coding

but that might be asking a lot for one week
