Abstract

An exemplar dictionary is built from exemplars of digital content for determining predictor blocks for encoding and decoding digital content. The exemplar dictionary organizes the exemplars as clusters of similar exemplars. Each cluster is mapped to a label. Machine learning techniques are used to generate a prediction model for predicting a label for an exemplar. The exemplar dictionary is used to encode digital content. Clusters of exemplars are obtained by applying a prediction model to a target block of digital content for encoding. A predictor block is selected for encoding the target block based on frequency of occurrence of exemplars in the clusters. The target block is encoded using the predictor block.
