Version 1.1.2 (2023-12-18)

New features and updates

Model development updates:

  • Implemented precision_score metric in SQL.

Bug fixes

  • Fixed an issue where stack trace was being hidden by telemetry.

Model development fixes:

  • Inferring model signatures no longer materializes the full dataframe in memory.

Version 1.1.1 (2023-12-6)

New features and updates

  • Designated Snowpark ML Modeling API as Generally Available.

  • New passthrough_col parameter in the Modeling API allows you to exclude specific columns, like index columns, during training or inference when not explicitly specifying input_cols.

Bug fixes

  • Model development fixes:

    • confusion_matrix provided incorrect results when the row number could not be divided by the batch size.

Version 1.1.0 (2023-12-1)

New features and updates

  • GridSearchCV and RandomizedSearchCV execution is now distributed on multi-node warehouses.

Bug fixes

  • Model development fixes:

    • Columns were being excluded if their normalized names did not match the names specified in output_columns in OrdinalEncoder and LabelEncoder. Output columns no longer need to be valid Snowflake identifiers.

Bug fixes

  • Model development fixes:

    • Fix UTF-8 decoding errors when using modeling modules on Windows.

    • Fix alias definitions causing SnowparkSQLUnexpectedAliasException in inference.

Version 1.0.9 (2023-09-28)

New features and updates
