A lossy data compression method is one where compressing a file and then decompressing it retrieves a file that may well be different to the original, but is "close enough" to be useful in some way.
The advantage of lossy methods over lossless methods is that in some cases a lossy method can produce a much smaller compressed file than any known lossless method, while still meeting the requirements of the application.
Flaws caused by lossy compression that are noticeable to the human eye or ear are known as compression artifacts.

 Lossy data compression - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A lossy data compression method is one where compressing data and then decompressing it retrieves data that may well be different to the original, but is "close enough" to be useful in some way.
Depending on the design of the format lossy data compression often suffers from generation loss, that is compressing and decompressing multiple times will do more damage to the data than doing it once.
Researchers have also performed lossy compression on text by either using a thesaurus to substitute short words for long ones, or generative text techniques [1], although these sometimes fall into the related category of Lossy data conversion.

 Lossy Compression
Lossy compression techniques recover the presentation with a certain loss of accuracy.
However, the lossy techniques provide higher compression ratios, therefore they are applied more often in image and video compression than lossless techniques.
The important point of lossy compression is that, its compression procedure can be adjusted to sacrifice some accuracy in order to gain a lot of compression.

lossy: is used in the context of describing audio encoding schemes where some detail or nuance of the original analog master or source material/signal are lost during the analog-to-digital and digital-to-analog conversion process.
Lossy audio encoding algorithms are used when the data for lossless encoding schemes would far exceed the capacity of the recording/transmission medium.

Lossy compression is a typical engineering trade-off: lower image quality for lower transmission rate.
For this reason, lossy compression is often evaluated with reference to a rate-distortion curve.

 Halfbakery: Lossy Text Compression
Work has been done on lossy text compression on a word level, but to my knowledge it has not been done on the letter level as I described.
You can use lossy compression for JPEG's because that kind of visual information is handled by our right-brains which are holistic and relatively unaffected by loss of detail information--capable, indeed, of discerning meaning even in the face of awesomely unfavorable signal-to-noise ratios.
Lossy compression is simply not appropriate for text compression because for the left brain to read the decompressed text, it must first work hard to "manufacture" the missing details (possibly calling on the right brain to step in and help?).

This is called lossy compression and the theory studying its theoretical limits is called rate-distortion theory.
Lossy compression is often done in practice, for example, when fetching images on the world wide web, recording audio on a compact disc or transmitting voice with a wireless digital telephone.
This rate was asserted (for the distortion-rate function, which is the inverse of the rate-distortion function) in 1968 by Pilc, but his proof contained a major gap.

The state space of a lossy channel system is infinite due to the unboundedness of the channels.
This was one of the first examples in the literature of decidability of safety properties for a class of systems which is not essentially finite-state (in contrast e.g.
Furthermore, we show the undecidability of the problem of whether a state in a lossy channel system weakly simulates a state in a finite transition system.

An International Lossy Compression study is underway that should provide more insight into the viability of lossy compression in Cardiac X-ray.
This simple example demonstrates that Lossy data compression approaches do not guarantee exact replicas of the original data set, however, they are designed to minimize loss of "useful" information.
It should be noted that the selection of a lossy compression scheme is very much correlated to the type of data that is being compressed and decompressed.

 JPEG 2000 Part 1, Core Coding, Lossy Compression
Both reversible integer-to-integer and nonreversible real-to-real transforms are employed, the latter being referred to as "irreversible" in the terminology of the standard.
In the case of lossless coding, reversible transforms must be employed and all quantizer step sizes are forced to be one.
In the lossy case, either reversible or nonreversible transforms can be used, but the two types of transforms cannot be intermixed.

No Adobe has not invented a new file format, the "Lossy GIF." The term is catchy but a bit misleading, GIF compression is actually lossless (LZW), it's the preprocessing and color reduction that can be lossy.
Lossy GIF finds similar patterns and makes them identical by subtly changing pixels to match previous patterns.
Lossy GIF makes a complex technique easy to use and Adobe should be commended for making it widely available.

For example, a pixel described as RGB = [232,123,45] in the original image compressed using a lossy algorythm and stored, may then be expanded to produce an output of RGB=[230,125,45] on the output.
The one on the left is an uncompressed file, the one on the right compressed (using a lossy algorythm).
By contrast, lossy compression removes all of the redundacy and, in addition, some of the signal as well (shown by the dashes in the entropy).

 Bisimulation and Other Undecidable Equivalences for Lossy Channel Systems - Schnoebelen (ResearchIndex)
Abstract: Lossy channel systems are systems of nite state automata that communicate via unreliable unbounded fo channels.
Today the main open question in the theory of lossy channel systems is whether bisimulation is decidable.
We show that bisimulation, simulation, and in fact all relations between bisimulation and trace inclusion are undecidable for lossy channel systems (and for lossy vector addition systems).

Lossy compression is also done by re-writing the data more space efficient, but more than that: less important details of the image are manipulated or even removed so that higher compression rates are achieved.
Lossy compression is dangerously attractive because the file size can be reduced to 1/100 and less!

For comparison with lossy audio formats, each CD was ripped to MP3 (using the LAME codec at 256Kbit constant rate encoding) and the open source Ogg Vorbis format (using 256Kbit variable rate encoding).
For portable storage, lossy formats are very clearly going to give you much more music to carry around at any one time.
