CLLM

Compressed Language Models via Semantic Token Encoding

---

Enterprise-grade compression for transcripts, structured data, and system prompts - achieving 60-95% token reduction.

---

## 🚀 Overview

CLLM is a patent-pending compression technology that dramatically reduces LLM token consumption through semantic encoding. Unlike simple abbreviation or character-level compression, CLLM preserves the **meaning** of your content using structured token vocabularies.

### Three Core Compression Targets

**1. Transcripts** (Contact Centers)
- Customer service conversations
- Support call logs
- Agent-customer interactions
- 95.9% redundancy reduction (Shannon Entropy validated)

**2. Structured Data** (Enterprise)
- NBA (Next Best Action) catalogs
- Product configurations
- Business rule sets
- Metadata and taxonomies

**3. System Prompts** (Enterprise)
- Agent instructions
- Role definitions
- Operational guidelines
- Task specifications

### Benefits

- **60-95% token reduction** across all three targets
- **Equal or better LLM responses** with compressed inputs
- **Up to 73% faster processing** with reduced latency
- **Massive cost savings** for high-volume applications
- **No model training required** - works with existing LLMs

### The Problem

In high-volume LLM environments, verbose content creates significant challenges:
- Thousands of API calls per user per day
- Rapidly escalating token costs at scale
- Infrastructure bottlenecks under heavy load
- Deployment blocked by scalability concerns
- Conversation data consuming excessive context windows

### The Solution

**Transcript Compression:**
```text
Customer: Hi, I need help with my account balance.
Agent: I'd be happy to help. Can I have your account number?
Customer: It's 12345678.
Agent: Your current balance is $1,450.32.
```
↓
```text
[CTX:CUSTOMER_SERVICE][TOPIC:ACCOUNT_BALANCE][DATA:ACC=12345678,BAL=1450.32]
```

**System Prompt Compression:**
```text
You are a customer service quality analyst. Analyze transcripts for compliance 
violations and sentiment issues in agent responses.
```
↓
```text
[REQ:ANALYZE][TARGET:TRANSCRIPT:DOMAIN=SERVICE][EXTRACT:COMPLIANCE,SENTIMENT:SOURCE=AGENT]
```

**Result**: 85-92% token reduction, identical semantic meaning, faster processing.

## 🏗️ Architecture

### Semantic Token Categories

| Token | Purpose | Example |
|-------|---------|---------|
| `REQ` | Actions/operations | `[REQ:ANALYZE]`, `[REQ:EXTRACT]` |
| `TARGET` | Objects/data sources | `[TARGET:TRANSCRIPT]`, `[TARGET:DOCUMENT]` |
| `EXTRACT` | Fields to extract | `[EXTRACT:SENTIMENT,INTENT]` |
| `CTX` | Contextual information | `[CTX:CUSTOMER_SERVICE]` |
| `OUT` | Output formats | `[OUT:JSON]`, `[OUT:TABLE]` |
| `REF` | References/IDs | `[REF:CASE=12345]` |

### Compression Strategy

1. **Intent Detection**: Identifies the primary action (analyze, extract, summarize)
2. **Target Extraction**: Determines the data source and domain
3. **Pattern Recognition**: Maps verbose phrases to semantic tokens
4. **Redundancy Removal**: Eliminates 95.9% redundant information (Shannon Entropy validated)
5. **Structure Preservation**: Maintains relationships between concepts

## 🎓 Use Cases

### 1. Transcript Compression (Contact Centers)

Compress customer service conversations for analysis and AI processing:

```python
from clm_core import CLMEncoder, CLMConfig

# Billing Issue - Mocking CX Transcript
transcript = "Customer: Hi Raj, I noticed an extra charge on my card for my plan this month. It looks like I was billed twice for the same subscription.\nAgent: I'm sorry to hear that, let’s take a look together. Can I have your account email or billing ID to verify your record?\nCustomer: Sure, it’s melissa.jordan@example.com.\nAgent: Thanks, Melissa. Give me just a moment... alright, I can see two transactions on your file — one processed on the 2nd and another on the 3rd. It seems the system retried payment even after the first one succeeded.\nCustomer: Oh wow, that explains it. So I’m not crazy then.\nAgent: Not at all. It’s a known issue we had earlier this week with duplicate processing. The good news is, you’re eligible for a full refund on the second charge.\nCustomer: Great. How long will it take to show up?\nAgent: Once I file the refund, it usually reflects within 3–5 business days depending on your bank. I’ll also send you a confirmation email with the reference number.\nCustomer: That works. Thank you for sorting it out so quickly.\nAgent: My pleasure. I’ve just submitted the refund request now — your reference number is RFD-908712. You should see that update later today.\nCustomer: Perfect. I appreciate your help, Raj.\nAgent: Anytime! Is there anything else I can check for you today?\nCustomer: No, that’s all. Thanks again!\nAgent: Thank you for calling us, Melissa. Have a great day ahead!"
cfg = CLMConfig(lang="en")
encoder = CLMEncoder(cfg=cfg)
compressed = encoder.encode(input_=transcript, metadata={'call_id': 'CX-0001', 'agent': 'Raj', 'duration': '9m', 'channel': 'voice', 'issue_type': 'Billing Dispute'})
```
↓
```text
[CALL:SUPPORT:AGENT=Raj:DURATION=7m:CHANNEL=voice] 
[CUSTOMER] [CONTACT:EMAIL=MELISSA.JORDAN@EXAMPLE.COM] 
[ISSUE:BILLING_DISPUTE:SEVERITY=LOW] [ACTION:TROUBLESHOOT:RESULT=COMPLETED] 
[ACTION:REFUND:REFERENCE=RFD-908712:TIMELINE=TODAY:RESULT=COMPLETED] 
[RESOLUTION:RESOLVED:TIMELINE=TODAY] [SENTIMENT:NEUTRAL→SATISFIED→GRATEFUL]
```

### 2. Structured Data Compression (Enterprise)

Optimize NBA catalogs, product configs, and business rules:

```python
from clm_core import CLMEncoder, CLMConfig
from clm_core.types import SDCompressionConfig

# Knowledge Base structured data
kb_catalog = [
    {
        "article_id": "KB-001",
        "title": "How to Reset Password",
        "content": "To reset your password, go to the login page and click...",
        "category": "Account",
        "tags": ["password", "security", "account"],
        "views": 1523,
        "last_updated": "2024-10-15",
    }
]
config = CLMConfig(
    ds_config=SDCompressionConfig(
        dataset_name="ARTICLE",
        auto_detect=True,
        required_fields=["article_id", "title"],
        field_importance={"tags": 0.8, "content": 0.9},
        max_field_length=100,  # Longer for articles
    )
)

compressor = CLMEncoder(cfg=config)
compressed = compressor.encode(kb_catalog)
```
↓
```text
[KB_CATALOG:1]{ARTICLE_ID,TITLE,CONTENT,CATEGORY,VIEWS,LAST_UPDATED}
[KB-001,HOW_TO_RESET_PASSWORD,TO_RESET_YOUR_PASSWORD,GO_TO_THE_LOGIN_PAGE_AND_CLICK...,ACCOUNT,1523,2024-10-15]
```

### 3. System Prompt Compression (Enterprise)
