- huffman coding — (algorithm) A data compression technique which varies the length of the encoded symbol in proportion to its information content, that is the more often a symbol or token is used, the shorter the binary string used to represent it in the compressed stream.

Huffman coding was first described in a seminal paper by D.A. Huffman in 1952.
