Residual Modeling for High-Fidelity Learned Compression of Scientific Data
Quick summary
arXiv:2606.05389v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Lossy compression is essential for massive spatiotemporal data from scientific simulations. Learned compressors can achieve high compression ratios at moderate accuracy targets, but their aggregate reconstruction losses do not guarantee accuracy for each block. Existing Guaranteed Autoencoder (GAE) methods add a per-block residual correction by retaining SVD/PCA-style coefficients until the target is met. This works at moderate tolerances, but in the high-fidelity regime with block-level NRMSE from 10^-6 to 10^-4, the number of retained coeff
