Description

Hi! When using the intercept method, I get the error "could not convert string to float: '2020-12-05'". How to use this method if there are dates in the data?

Research direction

Start by reproducing the Tree Interpreter issue through the intercept method with data containing the date value 2020-12-05. Trace the intercept entry point and the conversion that raises the float error. Done means the supported handling of date-valued data is established and covered by an appropriate regression test or clearly documented limitation.
