This:

  • Adds a generic test to test_sklearn_compatibility to run the upstream get_feature_names_out estimator check tests on all of our estimators that implement get_feature_names_out. These are not included in the default existing estimator checks and have to be run manually.
  • Adds implementations of get_feature_names_out to almost all of our transformers. The only remaining transformers are:
    • SimpleImputer
    • MissingIndicator
    • FunctionTransformer
    • TargetEncoder
  • Adds some specific tests to ensure our implementations return the same values as the upstream sklearn implementations.

In most cases this is as simple as adding a mixin class. In a few cases a custom get_feature_names_out is needed. The above classes are excluded from this PR mostly due to those needing custom implementations and this PR being large enough.

Part of #8499.

📝 Walkthrough

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features

    • Added scikit-learn-compatible get_feature_names_out() support across preprocessing, clustering, decomposition, manifold learning, and random projection estimators.
    • KBinsDiscretizer now generates feature names for ordinal and one-hot outputs.
    • Feature names consistently reflect estimator outputs, improving pipeline and column-tracking interoperability.
  • Tests

    • Added compatibility coverage comparing generated feature names with scikit-learn across supported estimators.

Walkthrough

The pull request adds scikit-learn feature-name mixins and output-feature metadata to cuML estimators. It implements KBinsDiscretizer.get_feature_names_out() and adds parity and coverage tests across supported estimators.

Feature-name compatibility

Layer / File(s) Summary
Preprocessing feature-name support
python/cuml/cuml/_thirdparty/sklearn/preprocessing/_data.py, python/cuml/cuml/_thirdparty/sklearn/preprocessing/_discretization.py, python/cuml/cuml/preprocessing/encoders.py, python/cuml/tests/test_preprocessing.py, python/cuml/tests/test_ordinal_encoder.py
Preprocessing estimators use scikit-learn feature-name mixins. KernelCenterer exposes fitted feature counts and pairwise tags. KBinsDiscretizer generates names for ordinal and one-hot encodings. OrdinalEncoder gains one-to-one feature-name support.
Output-feature metadata for estimators

KMeans, PCA, TruncatedSVD, UMAP, and random projection estimators inherit ClassNamePrefixFeaturesOutMixin and expose fitted output-feature counts.

Tests compare cuML and scikit-learn feature-name outputs for supported estimators.
Compatibility coverage validation
python/cuml/tests/test_sklearn_compatibility.py
Parameterized checks cover selected estimators and verify that all discovered cuML estimators implementing get_feature_names_out are listed.

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~25 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 36074

The PR broadens sklearn-compatible feature-name APIs across estimators, but the current head still omits OrdinalEncoder from compatibility coverage and contains changed Python that does not meet the repository’s Black formatting requirement; the coverage gap leaves that estimator’s contract unvalidated and formatting may fail required checks, so merge should wait for fixes or explicit acceptance.
