- [name=Olivier]
- Triaging week:
- Investigating Bus error on macOS leading to a [TerminatedWorkerError](https://github.com/scikit-learn/scikit-learn/issues/29579)
- Used `PYTHONFAULTHANDLER=1` to se that it happens with numpy 2.0.1 in a call to `sort`
- PR to loky to enable this automatically on workers:
- https://github.com/joblib/loky/pull/419
- Seems related to bus errors in numpy 2.0.1 `_unique1d` when building wheels for macOS:
- https://github.com/scikit-learn/scikit-learn/issues/29610
- Not related to joblib/loky: can happen in any test that callses `type_of_target`.
- Impossible to reproduce locally on Apple M1 so far... (I tried many things)
- Use of threading vs loky in `pairwise_kernel` / `pairwise_distance`:
- https://github.com/scikit-learn/scikit-learn/issues/29587
- OP reported benchmarks:
- sometimes threading is better, sometimes loky is (much) better
- tested with CPython 3.13 with free-threading enabled: threading is always better whenever we disable nested parallelism in BLAS
- TODO: un-hardcode backend and call joblib with soft backend hinting instead (`prefer="threads"`).
- A bit of triaging on `cloudpickle` + a fix for CPython 3.13 support that was broken (+ updated CI):
- https://github.com/cloudpipe/cloudpickle/pull/534

- what test/code to run locally to try and reproduce the bus error?
- [name=Guillaume] ARM64 vs. Intel processors?
- [name=Olivier] examples of use of `sample_weight`:
- adjusting a Poisson loss function for number of incidents based on observation duration (see insurance example in gallery)
- [example link](https://scikit-learn.org/stable/auto_examples/linear_model/plot_poisson_regression_non_normal_loss.html#sphx-glr-auto-examples-linear-model-plot-poisson-regression-non-normal-loss-py)

### Discussion points
- [name=Adrin] `quicksort` (stable) vs `mergesort`
- ask why the user cares, and close them all if it's not valid
- [name=Adrin] closed a bunch of AI generated looking issues
- PRs are slightly more welcome than just issues
- [name=Jérémie] do a 1.5.1post1 to add COPYING file to wheels?
- will be fixed in future releases
- [name=Adrin] array API is breaking existing code where array API is not enabled, since we don't have a good coverage
- we have had tests that do not use array API anywhere break as the result of array API changes.
- this breakage goes unnoticed because we, for example, don't build all documentation examples
- not a great look if we keep introducing regressions while adding array API support
- potential fix: add a unittest that explicitly exercises the feature/use-case that leads to breakage that we discover "by chance"
- for example a test in the array API test suite that uses polars as input to make sure polars + no array API works
- [name=Jérémie] negative eigen values

+ Complete Meson entry for scikit-learn 1.5 changelog https://github.com/scikit-learn/scikit-learn/pull/29008. PR just opened, feed-back and discussions welcome! Current plan: drop setuptools support in scikit-learn 1.6 (but maybe rename `setup.py` -> `_setup.py` like Scipy did without testing it, and full drop in scikit-learn 1.7. This was useful for example for Pyodide scipy package).
+ some free-threading (aka nogil) work is happening in the Scientific Python ecosystem, quite excited about this! For example https://github.com/scikit-learn/scikit-learn/issues/28978. I added a free-threaded label to help track this.
- [name=Gael]
+ Moving contributors to emeritus: answers from all but one
+ More research than software, but paper behind hazardous (survival models) moving beautifully forward
### Discussion points
- re conda-forge build @ogrisel: https://github.com/conda-forge/scikit-learn-feedstock/pull/258
- re: array API: label binarizer's diff
- dropping setuptools support in scikit-learn 1.6 (or 1.7 with `_setup.py` approach) any quick opinion?
## 2024-04-29

### Progress reports
Rules of the game:
- No questions during this part
- If you have questions / comments, write them in the second part
Progresses:
- [name=Loïc]
+ meson as main build backend [#28506](https://github.com/scikit-learn/scikit-learn/pull/28506). pyproject.toml changes needed for the wheels need to be reviewed. Tested conda-forge in https://github.com/conda-forge/scikit-learn-feedstock/pull/250.
+ conda-lock update: https://github.com/scikit-learn/scikit-learn/pull/28653
- [name=Olivier]
- Triaging duty this week.
- Array API reviews:
- array-api-strict [#28555](https://github.com/scikit-learn/scikit-learn/pull/28555) - ready for second review
- train_test_split [#28407](https://github.com/scikit-learn/scikit-learn/pull/28407) - ready for second review
- ridge [#27800](https://github.com/scikit-learn/scikit-learn/pull/27800) - first pass
- label binarizer [#28626](https://github.com/scikit-learn/scikit-learn/pull/28626) - WIP:
- needed for RidgeClassifierCV [#27961](https://github.com/scikit-learn/scikit-learn/pull/27961)
- strategy accept Array API namespace but continue building a scipy sparse datastructure with numpy components before final conversion to Array API container to keept the code minimally changed
- alternative would be to implement the code directly for dense allocated structure using Array API directly but not sure it's worth the extra code branch
- Had a look at Thomas prototype for a cirun config to run CUDA tests in [#24491](https://github.com/scikit-learn/scikit-learn/issues/24491#issuecomment-1999663173)
- Security concerns should be cleared w.r.t. VM isolation
- Still questions about the proper dispatch mechanism to use to allow maintainers to trigger the CI on external contributors' PRs.
- Started to have a look at scipy's BSpline NaN handling to simplify the code to change to add missing value support to `SplineTransformer` [#28043](https://github.com/scikit-learn/scikit-learn/pull/28043)
- need to write a minimal reproducer to discuss the issue with upstream (but paused because of triaging duty)
- we can proceed with more complex code in scikit-learn code otherwise.
- [name=Stefanie]
- nan support for SplineTransformer [#28043](https://github.com/scikit-learn/scikit-learn/pull/28043): restructure (missingness indicator computed lazily) and computing bsplines of sparse arrays with workaround
- UnsetMetadataPassedError [#28517](https://github.com/scikit-learn/scikit-learn/pull/28517): parent param doesn‘t need to be passed
- learning:
- 1) concurrent and parallel programming
- 2) serialization
- [name=Jérémie] (was off last week)
- review and finalized some old but almost ready PRs.
- currently on this one (allow string input in `pairwise_distances`). Discussed with guillaume for the final details but almost ready. https://github.com/scikit-learn/scikit-learn/pull/27456
- still cleaning-up `utils.__init__`. Only a few utils left.
- Read about averaging ROC curves for Guillaume's PR https://github.com/scikit-learn/scikit-learn/pull/25939 (ROC curve display from cv results)
"On Averaging ROC Curves", Jack Hogan, Niall M. Adams, https://openreview.net/forum?id=FByH3qL87G

- Mooc reviews
- [name=Guillaume]
- Triaging issues and PRs
- fixing CIs: [#28636](https://github.com/scikit-learn/scikit-learn/pull/28636)
- closing a couple of old PRs
- give feedback on newly open one
- Discussion regarding `skrub` design
- [name=Jérôme]
- mostly skrub
- pipeline (recipe) builder with convenient way of specifying param grid
- now starting to split out PR for column selectors
- array api: updated ridgecv pr after r2 score was merged; opened LabelBinarizer pr
### Discussion points
- meson main build backend: do we want to merge soonish or do we want to wait, e.g. for
+ meson-python 0.16 release (not yet out) with for some quality of life enhancements, https://github.com/mesonbuild/meson-python/pull/594 and https://github.com/mesonbuild/meson-python/pull/569 (need Pytest<8 for now if you use `pytest --pyargs sklearn`)
+ Numpy 2 release (and scikit-learn 1.4.2 for Numpy 2 compatibility), to avoid having too many impactful changes at the same time ("what could possibly go wrong?")
+ other things?
- [name=Guillaume] I think we should wait because we did not take some potential changes in 1.4.1 so it would be easier when branching 1.5
- Conclusion: Merge the PR (and check the pyproject.toml) have it in main, but not backport it for the 1.4.2 release.
- Average ROC: https://openreview.net/forum?id=FByH3qL87G
- PR https://github.com/scikit-learn/scikit-learn/pull/25939
- we need to make an editorial choice regarding the method
## 2024-03-04
### General topics
### Progress reports
- [name=Stefanie]
- preparing talk for PyLadies meetup: „How to start contributing to open source?“
- [PR UnsetMetadataPassedError](https://github.com/scikit-learn/scikit-learn/pull/28517)
- display which method metadata request is not set and from where it was called
- correct error message for composite methods
- no default value for parent param (little trick when parent is a function)
- [PR metadata routing for FeatureUnion](https://github.com/scikit-learn/scikit-learn/pull/28205) continued
- keep old behaviour: no routing to transform, and some little things
- [OrthogonalMatchingPursuit](https://github.com/scikit-learn/scikit-learn/pull/28557#issuecomment-1973000754) (DocInspector): documentation and code clarity (discussion with LucyLeeow)
- [name=Olivier]
- Array API: r2_score [#27904](https://github.com/scikit-learn/scikit-learn/pull/27904): upcasts are probably no longer needed:
- backed by empirical study (linked in the discussion above)
- backed by the fact that np.sum was made more stable right after the upcasts where added to scikit-learn 10 years ago
- I plan to takeover to implement this simplication and hopefully unblock:
- [array-api-strict](https://github.com/scikit-learn/scikit-learn/pull/28555)
- [train_test_split](https://github.com/scikit-learn/scikit-learn/pull/28407)
- [RidgeCV](https://github.com/scikit-learn/scikit-learn/pull/27961)
- and probably more
- Worked on a motivating example to demonstrate the usefulness of a built-in handling of missing values in SplineTransformer:
- https://github.com/scikit-learn/scikit-learn/issues/26793
- first pass of review on [#28043](https://github.com/scikit-learn/scikit-learn/pull/28043)
- TODO: follow-up on [a study about the causes of miscalibration for logistic regression models](https://gist.github.com/ogrisel/8502eb455cd38d41e92fee31863ffea7)
- next step: open meta issue to discuss the big picture about scores, tuning, documentation and small PRs on focused points.
- TODO: review the callback SLEP, and PRs waiting for reviews and linked here.
- [name=Guillaume]
- Review and merge the backlogs of PRs related to adding example in docstring of public function

- [name=Loïc]
+ back from one week of holiday, some CI work/clean-ups before
+ meson as main build backend: https://github.com/scikit-learn/scikit-learn/pull/28506. Tested with `cd build`, joblib does not seem in the wheel dependency, this may be good to fix it in the same PR.
- [name=Arturo]
- iter on outlier detection [#28550](https://github.com/scikit-learn/scikit-learn/pull/28550)

- [feedback from Camille](https://github.com/INRIA/scikit-learn-mooc/pull/764)
### Discussion
Add discussion points here, possibly live during the presentation of progress reports:
- [name=Gael] (if we have time): what do people think is the best tool to draft design documents and meeting note / priorities (asking for skrub, where we need more note taking, and community building)?
- Conclusion: hackmd with a note on top saying that people interested in commenting should ask for permission
- [name=Guillaume] Any thoughts on helping the SLEP on callback to go forward?
- https://scikit-learn-enhancement-proposals.readthedocs.io/en/latest/slep000/proposal.html
- Plan the next drafting meeting on callbacks.
- [name=Guillaume] Any thoughts on going forward regarding the user survey (helping Francois and Cailean)
- First round of review in probabl.
- Once done, check with core team.

+ a bit of help on scikit-learn 1.4.1.post1
+ reviewed/merged some CI security PRs from Thomas. Context : running CI for GPU https://github.com/scikit-learn/scikit-learn/issues/24491
- [name=Gael] (reports on skrub)

- profiling of logistic regression: it seems array api may be worthwhile for lbfgs & newton-cg
### Discussion
- `r2_score` pb of casting, because some devices do not support float64:
- We should put this code not in `r2_score`
- We can have the notion of `strict` vs non `strict`
- Maybe `r2_score` does not need float64
- validation set API:
- internal https://github.com/scikit-learn/scikit-learn/pull/28440
- next: open an alternative issue/PR.
- pros:
- easier to understand what a fixed split does
- cons:
- having splitter is more convenient (better UX) to make it easy to enable early stopping.
- data leakage only from early stopping cannot be so catastrophic(?)
- [name=Olivier] Google Meeting configuration problem: I did not see notifications to external people to join and could not find how to configure this.
## 2024-02-06
### Gael (GaelVaroquaux)
- Still working on authorizations from Inria
- Discussions on skrub, dataframe API, and TableVectorizer with Jérome and Guillaume
### Olivier (ogrisel)

- Helped with an ICML submission (strongly related to hazardous)
- Survival model working with Gradient boosted trees
- PRs and reviews:
- iterating on calibration curve example:
- https://github.com/scikit-learn/scikit-learn/pull/28231
- goal is to fix our wording on Logistic Regression calibration also in the user guide
- https://github.com/scikit-learn/scikit-learn/pull/28171
- GPU FAQ update:
- https://github.com/scikit-learn/scikit-learn/pull/28328
- rotated codecov token to fix the CI
- https://github.com/scikit-learn/scikit-learn/pull/28361
- tried to investigate slow tests on scipy-dev pandas update PR:
- https://github.com/scikit-learn/scikit-learn/pull/28348
- Prototyping a fluent API to compose transformers for feature + target data engineering with iterative/interactive previews and builtin subsampling and train/test split / cross-validation handling.
- Goal: experiment with a future vision for skrub (or maybe even scikit-learn in the longer term?)
### Guillaume
- OS team priority
- Dev:
- reviewing/merging PR for scikit-learn 1.4.1
- regression in tree criterion: https://github.com/scikit-learn/scikit-learn/pull/28327
- discussion for design of `TableVectorizer` in skrub with Jerome
- Accepted talk to PyConDE:
- need to go to the Algolia side
- need some work to ragger-duck
### Arturo
- a bit of mooc forum
- some reviews
- Gael's [mediation project](https://notes.inria.fr/Uz9HaPyJQ1yDY_LUuT2f-A#)
- Goal: web UI to give intuitions on machine learning. Was asked a few months ago in the context of discussion with the broader society on the impact of ML on our lives
- planning to work on "advanced modules" for the mooc
### Loïc
- plenty of CI work (merged): [Pytest 8](https://github.com/scikit-learn/scikit-learn/pull/28318), [pandas 2.2 warnings](https://github.com/scikit-learn/scikit-learn/pull/28305), [pandas copy-on-write fixes](https://github.com/scikit-learn/scikit-learn/pull/28348)
- [code scanning workflow](https://github.com/scikit-learn/scikit-learn/pull/28312) (merged)
- meson editable install limitations is [getting fixed](https://github.com/mesonbuild/meson-python/pull/569) following my issues ([`__path__` empty](https://github.com/mesonbuild/meson-python/issues/568), [`pytest --pyargs` not collecting tests](https://github.com/mesonbuild/meson-python/issues/557)) and [Olivier PR attempt](https://github.com/mesonbuild/meson-python/pull/562)
- [codecov uploader update](https://github.com/scikit-learn/scikit-learn/pull/28361) (merged)
