A simple mlr3misc::Dictionary storing objects of class Task.
Each task has an associated help page, see mlr_tasks_[id].
This dictionary can get populated with additional tasks by add-on packages, e.g. mlr3data, mlr3proba or mlr3cluster. mlr3oml allows to interact with OpenML.
For a more convenient way to retrieve and construct tasks, see tsk()/tsks().
Format
R6::R6Class object inheriting from mlr3misc::Dictionary.
Methods
See mlr3misc::Dictionary.
S3 methods
as.data.table(dict, ..., objects = FALSE)
mlr3misc::Dictionary ->data.table::data.table()
Returns adata.table::data.table()with columns "key", "label", "task_type", "nrow", "ncol", "properties", and the number of features of type "lgl", "int", "dbl", "chr", "fct" and "ord", respectively. Ifobjectsis set toTRUE, the constructed objects are returned in the list column namedobject.
