""" ================================================== Column Transformer with Heterogeneous Data Sources ================================================== Datasets can often contain components that require different feature extraction and processing pipelines. This scenario might occur when: 1. your dataset consists of heterogeneous data types (e.g. raster images and text captions), 2. your dataset is stored in a :class:`pandas.DataFrame` and different columns require different processing pipelines. This example demonstrates how to use :class:`~sklearn.compose.ColumnTransformer` on a dataset containing different types of features. The choice of features is not particularly helpful, but serves to illustrate the technique.
