Inom ett flertal olika vetenskapliga fält och industrier har ett gemensamt problem uppstått under den senaste tiden, nämligen ett problem angående lagring av data. På grund av att teknologi utvecklas hastigt så får många vetenskapliga fält ny utrustning kapabel av att generera mer och mer data. Samma historia gäller för vetenskapliga fält som är starkt beroende av simulationer, som också ökar i stA 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
