1. A method comprising:
- for plural symbols, selecting an entropy model from a first model set that includes multiple entropy models, each of the multiple entropy models of the first model set including a model switch point for switching to a second model set that includes one or more entropy models;
processing the plural symbols using the selected entropy model; and
outputting results of the processing.

Abstract
Techniques and tools for selectively using multiple entropy models in adaptive coding and decoding are described herein. For example, for multiple symbols, an audio encoder selects an entropy model from a first model set that includes multiple entropy models. Each of the multiple entropy models includes a model switch point for switching to a second model set that includes one or more entropy models. The encoder processes the multiple symbols using the selected entropy model and outputs results. Techniques and tools for generating entropy models are also described.

17. A system comprising one or more modules for generating entropy models by:
-
clustering probability distributions according to a first cost metric, resulting in plural preliminary clusters;
refining the plural preliminary clusters according to a second cost metric different than the first cost metric, resulting in plural final clusters; and
setting the entropy models based at least in part upon the plural final clusters. - View Dependent Claims (18)

19. A system comprising:
-
means for obtaining probability distributions for symbol values; and
means for generating entropy models, including constraining plural less probable symbol values to have a common conditional distribution across the probability distributions without so constraining plural more probable symbol values. - View Dependent Claims (20)
