Single fit, single predict—how awesome would that be?
You get the data, fit your pipeline just one time, and it takes care of everything — preprocessing, feature engineering, modeling, everything. All you have to do is call predict and have the output.
What kind of pipeline is that powerful? Sklearn has many transformers, but it doesn’t have one for every imaginable preprocessing scenario. So, is such a pipeline a pipe dream?
Absolutely not. Today, we will learn how to create custom Sklearn transformers that enable you to integrate… Read the full blog for free on Medium.
