ML library version update and new library request

Hi admin,

I am new here and thanks for providing such a great platform!
I have two questions regarding Python libraries:
I try to import the CalibratedClassifierCV of scikit-learn, but apparently the version is not the latest one so I fail to import it. Would you mind update it in the future?
On the other hand, will xgboost library (https://github.com/dmlc/xgboost) available in the future?

Thanks!

Hey Andy, we're running scikit-learn version 0.16.1 on the platform. It looks like CalibratedClassifierCV isn't integrated and I've added your request for that submodule and xgboost to be supported. When it's available, we'll share an announcement.

@Alisa, Thanks!

Hi, are we expecting xgboost to be added anytime soon?

Thanks!

Hi Alisa,

Will there be an upgrade to version 0.18 when it is stable? I am seeking MLPClassifier.

Thanks

Hi Alisa,

Same question as Frank. I need to use the MLPClassifier from sklearn version >= 0.18

Let us know when do you plan to release it on Q plateform and research plateform.

Thanks

Hi Q-team,
Am I mistaken or xgboost is still unsupported ? I suppose supporting it has serious implications on the hardware requirements (GPUs?) for all users to happily use the package but any visibility on this is more than welcome.
Cheers

Please add xgboost support!
