nvtabular.ops.Filter

class nvtabular.ops.Filter(f: Callable[[DataFrame], Union[DataFrame, Series]])

Bases: Operator

Filters rows from the dataset. This works by taking a callable that accepts a dataframe, and returns a dataframe with unwanted rows filtered out.

For example to filter out all rows that have a negative value in the a column:

filtered = cont_names >> ops.Filter(f=lambda df: df["a"] >=0)
processor = nvtabular.Workflow(filtered)

Parameters:

f (callable) – Defines a function that takes a dataframe as an argument, and returns a new dataframe with unwanted rows filtered out.

__init__(f: Callable[[DataFrame], Union[DataFrame, Series]])

Methods

__init__(f)
column_mapping(col_selector)	Compute which output columns depend on which input columns
compute_column_schema(col_name, input_schema)
compute_input_schema(root_schema, ...)	Given the schemas coming from upstream sources and a column selector for the input columns, returns a set of schemas for the input columns this operator will use
compute_output_schema(input_schema, col_selector)	Given a set of schemas and a column selector for the input columns, returns a set of schemas for the transformed columns this operator will produce
compute_selector(input_schema, selector[, ...])	Provides a hook method for sub-classes to override to implement custom column selection logic.
create_node(selector)
export(path, input_schema, output_schema, ...)	Export the class object as a config and all related files to the user defined path.
inference_initialize(col_selector, model_config)	Configures this operator for use in inference.
load_artifacts([artifact_path])	Load artifacts from disk required for operator function.
output_column_names(col_selector)	Given a set of columns names returns the names of the transformed columns this operator will produce
save_artifacts([artifact_path])	Save artifacts required to be reload operator state from disk
transform(col_selector, df)	Transform the dataframe by applying this operator to the set of input columns
validate_schemas(parents_schema, ...[, ...])	Provides a hook method that sub-classes can override to implement schema validation logic.

Attributes

dependencies	Defines an optional list of column dependencies for this operator.
dynamic_dtypes
export_name	Provides a clear common english identifier for this operator.

transform(col_selector: ColumnSelector, df: DataFrame) → DataFrame

Transform the dataframe by applying this operator to the set of input columns

Parameters:

• columns (list of str or list of list of str) – The columns to apply this operator to

• df (Dataframe) – A pandas or cudf dataframe that this operator will work on

Returns:

Returns a transformed dataframe for this operator

Return type:

DataFrame
