This PR introduces comprehensive feature tensor support to Ludwig, enabling physics-informed neural networks and domain-constrained learning by allowing loss functions to access input feature tensors during training.

Key Features Added

Core Infrastructure

• Enhanced loss configuration schema with feature tensor parameters
• Type definitions for feature tensor dictionaries
• Comprehensive feature extraction utilities
• Memory optimization options

Loss Module Foundation

• Enhanced BaseLoss class supporting feature tensors
• Updated all 12 existing loss functions for backward compatibility
• Proper loss function registration system
• Comprehensive unit test coverage

Trainer Integration

• Modified base model to extract and pass feature tensors
• Updated output features to handle feature tensor support
• End-to-end integration with trainer pipeline
• Performance benchmarking and optimization

Examples & Documentation

• 5 production-ready physics-informed loss functions
• Comprehensive user guide with tutorials
• 4 real-world configuration examples
• Complete validation and testing toolkit

Key Benefits

• 100% Backward Compatible - No breaking changes to existing configurations
• Physics-Informed Learning - Enforce conservation laws, boundary conditions, and domain constraints
• Memory Efficient - Optional tensor detaching reduces memory overhead
• Flexible - Works with any combination of input/output features
• Well-Tested - Comprehensive test coverage and validation scripts
• Production-Ready - Complete documentation and examples

Please provide the following:

• a clear explanation of what your code does
• if applicable, a reference to an issue
• a reproducible test for your PR (code, config and data sample)

Documentation Pull Requests

Note that the documentation HTML files are in docs/ while the Markdown sources are in mkdocs/docs.

If you are proposing a modification to the documentation you should change only the Markdown files.

api.md is automatically generated from the docstrings in the code, so if you want to change something in that file, first modify ludwig/api.py docstring, then run mkdocs/code_docs_autogen.py, which will create mkdocs/docs/api.md .

Remove attribute parameter_metadata={..} , it gives an error with that . i removed that tested it.
