Description
Hi,
Does Tpot offer any automated way to convert categorical feature into encoded variables.
## Context of the issue
I have an input dataset with more than 100 variables where around 80% of the variables are categorical in nature.
While some variables like gender, country etc can be one-hot encoded but I also have few variables which have an inherent order in their values such rating - Very good, good, bad etc.
Is there any approach/option in Tpot which we can use to do this encoding based on the variable type.
For ex: I would like to provide the below two lists as input to the tpot auto-ml arguments.
`one-hot-list = ['Gender', 'Country']` #one-hot encoding
`ordinal_list = ['Feedback', 'Level_of_interest']` #ordinal encoding
Is there any option in the package that can do this for us?
Or is there any other efficient way to do this as I have 80 categorical columns
