Implements the feature interaction transform. This transformer takes in Double and Vector type columns and outputs a flattened vector of their feature interactions. To handle interaction, we first one-hot encode any nominal features. Then, a vector of the feature cross-products is produced.
ft_interaction(
x,
input_cols = NULL,
output_col = NULL,
uid = random_string("interaction_"),
...
)The object returned depends on the class of x.
spark_connection: When x is a spark_connection, the function returns a ml_transformer,
a ml_estimator, or one of their subclasses. The object contains a pointer to
a Spark Transformer or Estimator object and can be used to compose
Pipeline objects.
ml_pipeline: When x is a ml_pipeline, the function returns a ml_pipeline with
the transformer or estimator appended to the pipeline.
tbl_spark: When x is a tbl_spark, a transformer is constructed then
immediately applied to the input tbl_spark, returning a tbl_spark
A spark_connection, ml_pipeline, or a tbl_spark.
The names of the input columns
The name of the output column.
A character string used to uniquely identify the feature transformer.
Optional arguments; currently unused.
