A common problem across scientific fields and industries is data storage. This thesis presents an open-source lossy data compression tool with its foundation in Machine Learning - Baler. Baler has been used to compress High Energy Physics (HEP) data, and initial compression tests on Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) toy data have been performed. For HEP, a compression ratio of R = 1.6 has generat
