Abstract: We discuss the interplay between geometric and Hodge theoretical compactifications for the moduli space of cubic surfaces. In particular, we prove that Naruki's compactification is toroidal and has a modular interpretation in terms of stable pairs. This last is joint work with Matt Kerr and Luca Schaffler. If time allows, we will describe open questions and ongoing generalizations of such a relationship to the case of pairs involving cubic surfaces and their anticanonical divisors.
