lore_sa.encoder_decoder.EncDec

class lore_sa.encoder_decoder.EncDec(dataset_descriptor)

Generic class to implement an encoder/decoder

It is implemented by different classes, each of which must implements the functions: enc, dec, enc_fit_transform the idea is that the user sends the complete record and here only the categorical variables are handled

__init__(dataset_descriptor)
