The Hutter Prize (http://prize.hutter1.net/) claims that compression is related to intelligence, and that good compression is advancing towards AI.
I'm not so sure, but it leads to interesting ideas.
A genetic algorithm, taking sample chunks from the expanded data, creating dictionaries, compressing, and comparing scores might be a useful approach. (But a poor fit for the hutter prize's restrictions.)
