merlin.models.tf.Filter

class merlin.models.tf.Filter(*args, **kwargs)

Bases: merlin.models.tf.core.tabular.TabularBlock

Transformation that filters out certain features from TabularData.”

Parameters

• to_include (List[str]) – List of features to include in the result of calling the module

• pop (bool) – Boolean indicating whether to pop the features to exclude from the inputs dictionary.

__init__(inputs: Sequence[str], name=None, pop=False, exclude=False, add_to_context: bool = False, **kwargs)

__init__(inputs: Union[merlin.schema.schema.Schema, merlin.schema.tags.Tags], name=None, pop=False, exclude=False, add_to_context: bool = False, **kwargs)
