DeepSqueeze: Deep Semantic Compression for Tabular Data

Summary: DeepSqueeze uses autoencoders to map tabular rows to a compact latent space, capturing cross-column dependencies beyond per-column encodings. It provides bounds for lossy numerical compression and works with columnar formats, achieving ~4x reduction. (summarized by gpt-5-nano on Feb 09 2026)
