1. A method, comprising:
compressing input data by means of at least a neural network;
determining a compression rate for data compression;
running the neural network with the input data to produce an output data;
removing a number of elements from the output data according to the compression rate to generate a reduced form of the output data;
wherein the compression rate is associated with a mask, based on which the number of elements are removed; and
providing the reduced form of the output data and the compression rate to a decoder.
