few.model() and few.print_model()

Hello!

Thanks for sharing your work, this is really cool!

I was wondering if you could provide a bit of explanation as to the difference between these two outputs of the algorithm.

Also, is there any (outside) documentation on all this?

Thanks in advance!

Kind regards,
Theodore.

thanks for your interest!
currently, the difference is that print_model() will return a model complete with coefficients generated from the paired ML, e.g.
-2.5 * sin(x_1x2) +
-4.56 * log(x_1)

whereas model() will just return a list of engineered features. however, these should probably be merged in the future or clarified - maybe renaming model() to features() or just storing a list of features as strings at the end of fit().

regarding the documentation, there should be some very soon!

@lacava Thanks a lot for the clarification, it makes sense.

I'll keep testing and come back with hopefully useful comments, if any.

Kind regards,
Theodore.
