This pull request adds the concept of "supervised" converters to the backend and frontend, ensuring that converters which require a target column (supervised learning) are properly flagged and handled in the UI. It also includes some minor code cleanups and bug fixes.
Backend changes:
SUPERVISEDattribute to theBaseConverterclass and set it toTruefor relevant scikit-learn and imbalanced-learn converters, such asSelectKBest,SelectFpr,SelectFdr,SelectFwe,SelectPercentile,GenericUnivariateSelect, and the imbalanced-learn wrappers. Themetadatadictionary now includes thesupervisedflag for each converter. [1] [2] [3] [4] [5] [6] [7] [8] [9]__init__methods ofSMOTEConverterandSMOTEENNConverter. [1] [2]ConverterParamsto clarify the type oftarget_index.Frontend changes:
supervisedflag from the converter's metadata to theScopeStepConvertercomponent. [1] [2]Before (unsupervised converter)
After (unsupervised converter)
These changes ensure that supervised converters are clearly indicated and that the user experience is improved by requiring the necessary target column input only when appropriate.
