CCF: A Context Compression Framework for Efficient Long-Sequence Language Modeling
Scaling language models to longer contexts is essential for capturing rich dependencies across extended discourse. However, naïve context extension imposes significant computational and memory burdens, often resulting in inefficiencies during both training and inference. In this work, we propose CCF, a novel context compression framework designed to enable efficient long-context modeling by learning hierarchical latent representations that preserve global semantics while aggressively reducing …

A 7-mag. #comet with a 3° tail nobody saw coming is grazing southern skies today: "SWAN 25B" (preliminary name) was discovered by amateurs in spacecraft images and seems to be in its 0.5 au perihelion today. Whether it's undergoing an outburst or will stay bright remains TBD: here's an image from Chile while a lot of discussion can be found in the threads https://groups.io/g/comets-ml/topic/115202009 and https://groups.io/g/comets-ml/topic/115202920

How to see two bright, once-in-a-lifetime comets with your naked eye
The comets, C/2025 A6 (Lemmon) and C/2025 R2 (SWAN), are already showing off their green tails to cameras and telescopes.
But the best chances to see them with the naked eye from the northern hemisphere should be in the second half of the month.

“What stands out about these two is their potential brightness,” said Erika Gibb, an astrobiologist at the University of Missouri-St. Louis.
“For sky-gaz…

How to see two bright, once-in-a-lifetime comets with your naked eye
Comet Lemmon and Comet SWAN will be closest to Earth as a new moon sets up prime viewing conditions. Add in a meteor shower and we may get spectacular sky gazing.
