Researchers have developed a novel approach to lossy text compression by strategically deleting parts of text and using large language models (LLMs) to reconstruct the original content. Experiments on the BBC News dataset demonstrated that word-frequency-guided deletion is a competitive and efficient baseline, particularly at lower retention rates. Semantic and hybrid methods showed stronger gains at moderate compression levels. The study also found that QLoRA fine-tuning produced a local decoder that rivals Gemini 2.0 Flash, and the overall framework proved transferable across different languages and datasets, though optimal deletion rules varied by dataset.
