Can you define "compressors" here? (Google was unhelpful.)

I could have said it better.

I mean compressor as half of a compression/decompression algorithm. The better way I should have worded it is: when you apply machine learning to a compression problem, you can do it lossless…your uncompressed output will be identical to the input, every time.

“NNCP” is a good search term to learn more, specifically about how this works.
