Module providing data minimization for ML.
This module implements a first-of-a-kind method to help reduce the amount of personal data needed to perform
predictions with a machine learning model, by removing or generalizing some of the input features. For more information
about the method see: http://export.arxiv.org/pdf/2008.04113
The main class, ``GeneralizeToRepresentative``, is a scikit-learn compatible ``Transformer``, that receives an existing
estimator and labeled training data, and learns the generalizations that can be applied to any newly collected data for
analysis by the original model. The ``fit()`` method learns the generalizations and the ``transform()`` method applies
them to new data.
It is also possible to export the generalizations as feature ranges.
