Jorma Johannes Rissanen (October 20, 1932 – May 9, 2020)[2] was an information theorist, known for originating the minimum description length (MDL) principle and practical approaches to arithmetic coding for lossless data compression. His work inspired the development of the theory of stochastic chains with memory of variable length.[3][2]
