MissingConverter: Unable to find a converter for model type <class 'sklearn.preprocessing._encoders.OrdinalEncoder'>.
It usually means the pipeline being converted contains a
transformer or a predictor with no corresponding converter implemented.

Which Scikit-learn pipeline operators do hummingbird support?

[ksaur]

You can read about our supported operators in our wiki.

I don't think this one is on the list, see in particular "Preprocessing". Can you please post your code and we can add it to the feature requests?

[dintellect]

Below is the code:

# ML Libraries
from sklearn.preprocessing import OrdinalEncoder
from sklearn.compose import ColumnTransformer
from sklearn.pipeline import Pipeline
import xgboost as xgb

#Ordinal Encoding
categorical_transformer = OrdinalEncoder(handle_unknown="use_encoded_value", unknown_value=-1)
preprocessor = ColumnTransformer(transformers=[("cat", categorical_transformer, categorical_features),])

#Scikit Learn Pipeline
clf = Pipeline(steps=[("preprocessor", preprocessor),("classifier", model)])

#Model Training
clf.fit(X_train, y_train)

#Conversion
from hummingbird.ml import convert
hb_model = convert(clf, 'torch',X_train[0:1])

[ksaur]

Thanks we'll take a look!
In the meantime, see maybe OneHotEncoder (which we support) could work (but might not depending on your dataset).
