mlr3pipelines 0.7.1-9000

  • New parameter no_collapse_above_absolute for PipeOpCollapseFactors / po("collapse_factors").
  • Fix: PipeOpCollapseFactors now correctly collapses levels of ordered factors.
  • Fix: LearnerClassifAvg and LearnerRegrAvg hyperparameters get the "required" tag.
  • New parameter use_groups (default TRUE) for PipeOpSubsampling to respect grouping (changed default behaviour for grouped data)
  • New parameter new_role_direct for PipeOpColRoles / po("colroles") to change column roles by role instead of by column.
  • Dictionary sugar functions po() / pos() / ppl() / ppls() now make suggestions for entries in both mlr_pipeops as well as mlr_graphs when an object by the given name could not be found in the respective dictionary.
  • New PipeOp PipeOpDecode / po("decode") to reverse one-hot or treatment encoding.

mlr3pipelines 0.7.1

CRAN release: 2024-11-14

  • Compatibility fix for upcoming mlr3
  • New down-sampling PipeOps for inbalanced data: PipeOpTomek / po("tomek") and PipeOpNearmiss / po("nearmiss")
  • New PipeOp PipeOpLearnerPICVPlus / po("learner_pi_cvplus")
  • New PipeOp for Quantile Regression PipeOpLearnerQuantiles / po(learner_quantiles)
  • GraphLearner has new active bindings/methods as shortcuts for active bindings/methods of the underlying Graph: $pipeops, $edges, $pipeops_param_set, and $pipeops_param_set_values as well as $ids() and $plot().

mlr3pipelines 0.7.0

CRAN release: 2024-09-24

  • New PipeOp PipeOpRowApply / po("rowapply")
  • Empty PipeOp IDs now explicitly forbidden.
  • Bugfix: Graph$tran() / Graph$predict() with single_input = FALSE now correctly handles PipeOps with multiple inputs.
  • GraphLearner$base_learner() now works with PipeOpBranch, and is generally more robust.
  • GraphLearner now supports $importance, $selected_features(), $oob_error(), and $loglik(). These are computed from the underlying Learner.
  • GraphLearner$impute_selected_features option added: $selected_features() is reported even if the underlying base learner does not report it; in this case, the full feature set as seen by that learner is returned.
  • GraphLearner$predict_type handling more robust now.
  • PipeOpThreshold and PipeOpTuneThreshold now have the $predict_type "prob". They can be set to "response", in which case the probability predictions are discarded, potentially saving memory.
  • Bugfix for handling multiplicities in PipeOps with vararg channels.
  • Bugfix: PipeOpImputeOOR now retains the .MISSING level in factors during prediction that were imputed during training, but had no missing values during prediction.
  • as_data_table(po()) now works even when some PipeOps can not be constructed. For these PipeOps, NA is reported in most columns.
  • Compatibility with upcoming mlr3 release.
  • New PipeOps for handling inbalanced data: PipeOpADAS / po("adas"), PipeOpBLSmote / po("blsmote") and PipeOpSmoteNC / po("smotenc")
