sklearn is deprecated

[alvitawa]

Pip has started to refuse to install sklearn sometimes. I believe the dependecy should be updated to scikit-learn?

Hello @lukehsiao,

Firstly, thank you for your work on the pdftotree project – it's been incredibly helpful. I've noticed that there are some dependency issues in the current version, and it seems that there are several pull requests addressing these concerns.

I understand that maintaining a project can be time-consuming, and I truly appreciate the effort you've put into it so far. Would it be possible to consider merging the pending changes that fix the dependency issues? This would greatly benefit the user community and ensure the continued success of pdftotree.

Your contributions are invaluable, and we're grateful for your ongoing dedication to the project. Thank you for your time and consideration.

Best regards,

@HodeiG I'm sorry, I'm afraid I no longer have write access to this repository, consequently, I have no way to help maintain it even if I wanted to.

If you're using this repository, I suspect this is a good candidate for forking, as I would not expect anyone to continue to maintain it in the current organization.
