py-evoFE: Automated Evolutionary Feature Engineering for Tabular ML in Python (Genetic Algorithms + Scikit-Learn + Polars) [P]
Excerpt
Hey everyone! I’m excited to announce the release of py-evoFE (v0.3.0) — an open-source Python library that uses genetic algorithms to automatically discover, combine, and optimize feature transformations for tabular datasets.
