Hi @mirand863,

I wonder if you have any plan to add feature to accept categorical inputs which allows users to leverage optimal split for categorical data in base classifier like catboost, lightgbm?

Thanks

Hi @sophianguyen189,

Sorry for the late reply. I tried to look a bit into it, but I am not sure I understand the application of categorical inputs. What would be the advantage?

Kind regards, Fabio
