The previous issue mentioned lgbm does not, I haven't seen any xgboost examples using categorical transformers. I am trying to use onehotencoder for my project because I saw it was listed as supported. Thanks!

Hi @zigs824, we handle each transformer/estimator in a pipeline independently. OneHotEncoder is a transformer which our tool supports and similarly xgboost. Does this answer your question?
