Allow Ensemble Width to Vary #68

Open epeters3 opened 4 years ago

epeters3 commented 4 years ago

Currently, the ensemble experiment builds ensemble pipelines of a fixed width. It would be nice for the experimenter to create ensembles of varying widths.

Closing this (at least for now), since I think we want to start running some experiments with what we have.

bjschoenfeld commented 4 years ago

I think we should keep this open, if the only reason for closing it is that we don't want to work on it right now.

epeters3 commented 4 years ago

That's a good point.

A clarification on this issue: currently, when you call the experimenter to generate ensemble pipelines, you can indirectly specify the ensemble width via the —n-preprocessors and —n-classifiers commands. Then, all the ensemble pipelines the experimenter generates will be of that same width.

So, there technically is a mechanism for specifying pipeline widths, so maybe this feature request is invalid.
