Legend for changelogs

  • Major Feature something big that you couldn’t do before.

  • Feature something that you couldn’t do before.

  • Efficiency an existing feature now may not require as much computation or memory.

  • Enhancement a miscellaneous minor improvement.

  • Fix something that previously didn’t work as documented – or according to reasonable expectations – should now work.

  • API Change you will need to change your code to have the same effect in the future; or a feature will be removed in the future.

Version 1.0.2

Changelog

sklearn.cluster

sklearn.datasets

sklearn.decomposition

sklearn.ensemble

sklearn.feature_selection

sklearn.impute

sklearn.linear_model

sklearn.manifold

  • Fix Fixed an unnecessary error when fitting manifold.Isomap with a precomputed dense distance matrix where the neighbors graph has multiple disconnected components. #21915 by Tom Dupre la Tour.

sklearn.metrics

  • Fix All sklearn.metrics.DistanceMetric subclasses now correctly support read-only buffer attributes. This fixes a regression introduced in 1.0.0 with respect to 0.24.2. #21694 by Julien Jerphanion.

  • Fix All sklearn.metrics.MinkowskiDistance now accepts a weight parameter that makes it possible to write code that behaves consistently both with scipy 1.8 and earlier versions. In turns this means that all neighbors-based estimators (except those that use algorithm="kd_tree") now accept a weight parameter with metric="minknowski" to yield results that are always consistent with scipy.spatial.distance.cdist. #21741 by Olivier Grisel.

sklearn.multiclass

sklearn.neighbors

sklearn.preprocessing

sklearn.tree

  • Fix Prevents tree.plot_tree from drawing out of the boundary of the figure. #21917 by Thomas Fan.

  • Fix Support loading pickles of decision tree models when the pickle has been generated on a platform with a different bitness. A typical example is to train and pickle the model on 64 bit machine and load the model on a 32 bit machine for prediction. #21552 by Loïc Estève.

Miscellaneous

  • Fix Fitting an estimator on a dataset that has no feature names, that was previously fitted on a dataset with feature names no longer keeps the old feature names stored in the feature_names_in_ attribute. #21389 by Jérémie du Boisberranger.

Version 1.0.0

September 2021

Minimal dependencies

Version 1.0.0 of scikit-learn requires python 3.7+, numpy 1.14.6+ and scipy 1.1.0+. Optional minimal dependency is matplotlib 2.2.2+.

Enforcing keyword-only arguments

In an effort to promote clear and non-ambiguous use of the library, most constructor and function parameters must now be passed as keyword arguments (i.e. using the param=value syntax) instead of positional. If a keyword-only parameter is used as positional, a TypeError is now raised. #15005 #20002 by Joel Nothman, Adrin Jalali, Thomas Fan, Nicolas Hug, and Tom Dupre la Tour. See SLEP009 for more details.

Changed models

The following estimators and functions, when fit with the same data and parameters, may produce different models from the previous version. This often occurs due to changes in the modelling logic (bug fixes or enhancements), or in random sampling procedures.

Details are listed in the changelog below.

(While we are trying to better inform users by providing this information, we cannot assure that this list is complete.)

Changelog

  • API Change The option for using the squared error via loss and criterion parameters was made more consistent. The preferred way is by setting the value to "squared_error". Old option names are still valid, produce the same models, but are deprecated and will be removed in version 1.2. #19310 by Christian Lorentzen.

  • API Change The option for using the absolute error via loss and criterion parameters was made more consistent. The preferred way is by setting the value to "absolute_error". Old option names are still valid, produce the same models, but are deprecated and will be removed in version 1.2. #19733 by Christian Lorentzen.

  • API Change np.matrix usage is deprecated in 1.0 and will raise a TypeError in 1.2. #20165 by Thomas Fan.

  • API Change get_feature_names_out has been added to the transformer API to get the names of the output features. get_feature_names has in turn been deprecated. #18444 by Thomas Fan.

  • API Change All estimators store feature_names_in_ when fitted on pandas Dataframes. These feature names are compared to names seen in non-fit methods, e.g. transform and will raise a FutureWarning if they are not consistent. These FutureWarning s will become ValueError s in 1.2. #18010 by Thomas Fan.

sklearn.base

sklearn.calibration

sklearn.cluster

sklearn.compose

sklearn.covariance

sklearn.datasets

  • Enhancement datasets.fetch_openml now supports categories with missing values when returning a pandas dataframe. #19365 by Thomas Fan and Amanda Dsouza and EL-ATEIF Sara.

  • Enhancement datasets.fetch_kddcup99 raises a better message when the cached file is invalid. #19669 Thomas Fan.

  • Enhancement Replace usages of __file__ related to resource file I/O with importlib.resources to avoid the assumption that these resource files (e.g. iris.csv) already exist on a filesystem, and by extension to enable compatibility with tools such as PyOxidizer. #20297 by Jack Liu.

  • Fix Shorten data file names in the openml tests to better support installing on Windows and its default 260 character limit on file names. #20209 by Thomas Fan.

  • Fix datasets.fetch_kddcup99 returns dataframes when return_X_y=True and as_frame=True. #19011 by Thomas Fan.

  • API Change Deprecates datasets.load_boston in 1.0 and it will be removed in 1.2. Alternative code snippets to load similar datasets are provided. Please report to the docstring of the function for details. #20729 by Guillaume Lemaitre.

sklearn.linear_model

sklearn.manifold

  • Enhancement Implement 'auto' heuristic for the learning_rate in manifold.TSNE. It will become default in 1.2. The default initialization will change to pca in 1.2. PCA initialization will be scaled to have standard deviation 1e-4 in 1.2. #19491 by Dmitry Kobak.

  • Fix Change numerical precision to prevent underflow issues during affinity matrix computation for manifold.TSNE. #19472 by Dmitry Kobak.

  • Fix manifold.Isomap now uses scipy.sparse.csgraph.shortest_path to compute the graph shortest path. It also connects disconnected components of the neighbors graph along some minimum distance pairs, instead of changing every infinite distances to zero. #20531 by Roman Yurchak and Tom Dupre la Tour.

  • Fix Decrease the numerical default tolerance in the lobpcg call in manifold.spectral_embedding to prevent numerical instability. #21194 by Andrew Knyazev.
