There's some cool new work -- to be presented at ICML in August -- that claims practical improvements over existing compression methods by using neural nets for "adaptive compression". The authors are strong academic researchers and appear to have formed a startup around this tech. ICML is a rigorous venue, subject to selective peer review. This is also my area of expertise, though I'm not affiliated with the authors of this paper. Link to project: http://www.wave.one/icml2017/ http://www.wave.one/icml2017/
