Bring the most recent classical and deep learning methods for categorical encoding to Julia to better support the presence of categorical variables in machine learning problems. This will at least include target encoding, entity embedding, potentially other methods and improvements on existing ones. The methods will be implemented in pure Julia and easy-to-use interfaces for them will be exposed to the community.
