Mechanized framework extends ATL and uses the Rock proof assistant to produce a verified compression/decompression adjoint that rewrites dense tensor kernels into sparse implementations. It formalizes a level-format abstraction and proves five concrete level instances (dense, compress/CSR-style, bitmask, hash, scalar), plus a compositional compressor so new formats need only local proofs. New iteration primitives scatter and co-iteration compile multi-operand sparse kernels, artifacts are available (DOI) and end-to-end evaluation shows throughput mostly comparable to TACO.
