+## 📦 Installation
+
+```bash
+uv sync  # or: pip install -e .
+```
+
+Dependencies (see pyproject.toml):
+- `torch>=2.8.0`
+- `transformers>=4.55.2`
+- `numpy>=2.3.2`
+- `scikit-learn>=1.7.1`
+- `datasets>=4.0.0`

+
+## 🏗️ Architecture
+
+Note: This repository has been trimmed to essentials for easy reuse and distribution. Example scripts and tests were removed by request.
+
+The implementation consists of three main components:
+
+### 1. AutoencoderConfig
+Configuration class that inherits from `PretrainedConfig`:
+- Defines model architecture parameters
+- Handles validation and serialization
+- Enables `AutoConfig.from_pretrained()` functionality
+
+### 2. AutoencoderModel
+Base model class that inherits from `PreTrainedModel`:
+- Implements encoder-decoder architecture
+- Provides latent space representation
+- Returns structured outputs with `AutoencoderOutput`
+
+### 3. AutoencoderForReconstruction
+Task-specific model for reconstruction:
+- Adds reconstruction loss calculation
+- Compatible with `Trainer` for easy training
+- Returns `AutoencoderForReconstructionOutput` with loss
+
+## 🔧 Quick Start
+
+### Basic Usage
+
+```python
+from configuration_autoencoder import AutoencoderConfig
+from modeling_autoencoder import AutoencoderForReconstruction
+import torch
+
+# Create configuration
+config = AutoencoderConfig(
+    input_dim=784,              # Input dimensionality (e.g., 28x28 images flattened)
+    hidden_dims=[512, 256],     # Encoder hidden layers
+    latent_dim=64,              # Latent space dimension
+    activation="gelu",          # Activation function (18+ options available)
+    reconstruction_loss="mse",  # Loss function (12+ options available)
+    autoencoder_type="classic", # Autoencoder type (7 types available)
+    # Optional learnable preprocessing
+    use_learnable_preprocessing=True,
+    preprocessing_type="neural_scaler",  # or "normalizing_flow"
+)
+
+# Create model
+model = AutoencoderForReconstruction(config)
+
+# Forward pass
+input_data = torch.randn(32, 784)  # Batch of 32 samples
+outputs = model(input_values=input_data)
+
+print(f"Reconstruction loss: {outputs.loss}")
+print(f"Latent shape: {outputs.last_hidden_state.shape}")
+print(f"Reconstructed shape: {outputs.reconstructed.shape}")
+```
+
+### Training with Hugging Face Trainer
+
+```python
+from transformers import Trainer, TrainingArguments

+        return len(self.data)
+    
+    def __getitem__(self, idx):
+        return {
+            "input_values": self.data[idx],
+            "labels": self.data[idx]  # For autoencoder, input = target
+        }
+
+# Prepare data
+train_dataset = AutoencoderDataset(your_training_data)
+val_dataset = AutoencoderDataset(your_validation_data)
+
+# Training arguments
+training_args = TrainingArguments(
+    output_dir="./autoencoder_output",
+    num_train_epochs=10,
+    per_device_train_batch_size=64,

+    eval_dataset=val_dataset,
+)
+
+# Train
+trainer.train()
+
+# Save model
+model.save_pretrained("./my_autoencoder")
+config.save_pretrained("./my_autoencoder")
+```
+

+from register_autoencoder import register_autoencoder_models
+from transformers import AutoConfig, AutoModel
+
+# Register models with AutoModel framework
+register_autoencoder_models()
+
+# Now you can use standard HF patterns
+config = AutoConfig.from_pretrained("./my_autoencoder")
