I recently tried to make some of the #Quarto websites I manage a little faster to load. Wrote up some of the things I did

I wrote up a little blog post comparing the runtime and memory allocation of how we used to create dummy variables with the new sparse support I added in tidymodels

Happy to share that {recipes} has a new release with many new features and all known bugs exterminated!

If you visited https://feaz-book.com/ lately you might have seen a new navigation button. This little die when pressed sends you to a random populated chapter. Perfect for when you wanna wander and learn

We heard from the community that CatBoost is the way do go. We listened and learned! here is the first batch of updated hexes for #tidymodels

One of the exciting parts of the new sparse data tidymodels work, is that {textrecipes} can now be used as a reproducible way to generate DTM, tf-idf etc etc

I'm beyond excited to share with you all that tidymodels now have sparsity support.

We now support sparse data during the whole process, generate data sparsely in recipes steps when your model supports spare data structures. and you don't have to change anything!
