MOOSComp: Improving Lightweight Long-Context Compressor via Mitigating Over-Smoothing and Incorporating Outlier Scores
Recent advances in large language models have significantly improved their ability to process long-context input, but practical applications are challenged by increased inference time and resource consumption, particularly in resource-constrained environments. To address these challenges, we propose MOOSComp, a token-classification-based long-context compression method that enhances the performance of a BERT-based compressor by mitigating the over-smoothing problem and incorporating outlier scores. In the training phase, we add an inter-class cosine similarity loss term to penalize excessively similar token representations, thereby improving the token classification accuracy. During the compression phase, we introduce outlier scores to preserve rare but critical tokens that are prone to be discarded in task-agnostic compression. These scores are integrated with the classifier's output, making the compressor more generalizable to various tasks. Superior performance is achieved at various compression ratios on long-context understanding and reasoning benchmarks. Moreover, our method obtains a speedup of 3.3x at a 4x compression ratio on a resource-constrained mobile device.

Large Language Model as Token Compressor and Decompressor
In this paper, we study whether an off-the-shelf LLM can be adapted into a discrete, variable-length token compressor and decompressor for long-context processing. To this end, we design a self-expressive autoencoding fr…
SeDeM: Selective Decompression of Hidden-State Memories for Long-Context Question Answering
Long-context inference with large language models (LLMs) is costly: self-attention during prefill scales quadratically with sequence length, and the key-value (KV) cache grows with the number of processed tokens. Larger …
Question AnsweringOmniZip: Learning a Unified and Lightweight Lossless Compressor for Multi-Modal Data
Lossless compression is essential for efficient data storage and transmission. Although learning-based lossless compressors achieve strong results, most of them are designed for a single modality, leading to redundant co…
ATACompressor: Adaptive Task-Aware Compression for Efficient Long-Context Processing in LLMs
Long-context inputs in large language models (LLMs) often suffer from the "lost in the middle" problem, where critical information becomes diluted or ignored due to excessive length. Context compression methods aim to ad…
Adapting Language Models to Compress Contexts
Transformer-based language models (LMs) are powerful and widely-applicable tools, but their usefulness is constrained by a finite context window and the expensive computational cost of processing long text documents. We …
