## Introduction
The Autoembedder is an autoencoder with additional embedding layers for the categorical columns. Its usage is flexible, and hyperparameters like the number of layers can be easily adjusted and tuned. The data provided for training can be either a path to a [Dask](https://docs.dask.org/en/stable/dataframe.html) or [Pandas](https://pandas.pydata.org/) DataFrame stored in the Parquet format or the DataFrame object directly.

## Installation
If you are using [Poetry](https://python-poetry.org/), you can install the package with the following command:
```bash
poetry add autoembedder
```
If you are using [pip](https://pypi.org/project/pip/), you can install the package with the following command:
```bash
pip install autoembedder
```


## installing dependencies
With [Poetry](https://python-poetry.org/):
```bash
poetry install
```
With [pip](https://pypi.org/project/pip/):
```bash
pip install -r requirements.txt
```

## Parameters
This is a list of all parameters that can be passed to the Autoembedder for training:

| cat_columns                        | str   | False    | "[]"             | Contains a string representation of a list of list of categorical columns (strings). The columns which use the same encoder should be together in a list. E.g.: `"[['a', 'b'], ['c']]"`. |


## Run
Something like this should do it:
```bash
python3 training.py --epochs 20 \
--train_input_path "path/to/your/train_data" \
--test_input_path "path/to/your/test_data" \
--hidden_layer_representation "[[12, 6], [6, 3]]"
```


## Why additional embedding layers?
The additional embedding layers automatically embed all columns with the Pandas `category` data type. If categorical columns have another data type, they will not be embedded and will be handled like continuous columns. Simply encoding the categorical values (e.g., with the usage of a label encoder) decreases the quality of the outcome.
