Embedding codebooks for resource optimization

A computer-implemented method for offloading decoding resources to remote client devices comprising:

• receive at least a first data stream transmitted from a remote computing device, wherein a codebook that was generated based at least in part on an encoding of at least a portion of a first digital asset is embedded into at least the first data stream during transmission thereof such that the codebook itself is amortized over a duration of the first data stream;
• reconstruct at least a portion of the amortized codebook based at least in part on a received portion of the first data stream;
• and
• employ at least the reconstructed portion of the amortized codebook to decode at least a portion of the first digital asset received via the first data stream.

A computer-implemented method for offloading decoding resources to remote client devices, comprising:

• training a codebook based on a set of digital assets associated with a usage history of a remote client device, the codebook being trained to decode at least an encoded portion of a first digital asset having at least one asset characteristic in common with the set of digital assets;
• transmitting at least a first data stream to the remote client device, the first data stream including the encoded portion of the first digital asset;
• and
• embedding the codebook into at least the first data stream as at least the first data stream is transmitted such that the codebook itself is amortized over a duration of the first data stream, wherein the remote client device is configured to employ one or more received portions of the amortized codebook to decode the encoded portion of the first digital asset as the encoded portion is received via the first data stream.
