This document summarizes the comprehensive testing and verification of the Plug package for backward compatibility and new functionality, focusing on the branch that adds custom probe options and the tutorial.
All tests passed successfully, confirming that:
- Backward compatibility is maintained - all existing README.md examples work
- New functionality works correctly - custom models and enhanced APIs
- Deprecation warnings are properly implemented - graceful migration path
- MLP training with deprecated
model_type='mlp'- Works with deprecation warning - CNN training with deprecated
model_type='cnn'- Works with deprecation warning - Save/load artifacts - Fully functional
- Prediction functionality - Working correctly
- README.md examples - All examples from documentation work as expected
- MLP training with new
model='mlp'- Clean API without warnings - CNN training with new
model='cnn'- Clean API without warnings - Enhanced parameter handling - Proper validation and error messages
- Custom model training - Custom factory functions work
- Custom model save/load - With proper factory reconstruction
- Complex architectures - Deep networks, attention mechanisms supported
- Tutorial notebook execution - Runs without errors
- MLP cross-validation - Proper fold handling and metrics
- Stratified splitting - Maintains class distributions
- Performance metrics - ROC-AUC and other metrics working
- Invalid model specifications - Proper error messages
- Missing metadata for CNN - Clear error guidance
- Invalid parameters - Comprehensive validation
- All documented examples - Work exactly as shown in README
- API consistency - No breaking changes to public interface
The package maintains backward compatibility through:
# In fit() and cross_validate() functions
if model_type is not None:
warnings.warn(
"The 'model_type' parameter is deprecated. Use 'model' instead.",
DeprecationWarning,
stacklevel=2
)
if model == "mlp": # Only override if using default
model = model_type- Old API:
fit(X, y, model_type='mlp') - New API:
fit(X, y, model='mlp') - Custom API:
fit(X, y, model=custom_function)
def custom_probe(input_dim, num_classes, hidden_dim=256):
return nn.Sequential(
nn.Linear(input_dim, hidden_dim),
nn.ReLU(),
nn.Linear(hidden_dim, num_classes)
)
# Usage
model, history = fit(X, y, model=custom_probe, hidden_dim=128)save_artifacts(
model,
path="model_path",
model_factory=custom_probe,
model_kwargs={"hidden_dim": 128}
)- Comprehensive examples of custom model creation
- Step-by-step guide for advanced usage
- Production pipeline examples

-
Graceful Migration Path: Users can continue using
model_typeparameter with deprecation warnings, then migrate tomodelparameter at their own pace. -
Enhanced Functionality: New custom model support adds significant flexibility without breaking existing code.
-
Comprehensive Error Handling: Clear error messages guide users when they provide invalid configurations.
-
Documentation Consistency: All README.md examples work exactly as documented.
-
Tutorial Quality: The custom models tutorial provides clear, executable examples.
- ✅ Ready for Release: All tests pass, backward compatibility maintained
- ✅ Documentation Current: README examples verified to work
- ✅ Tutorial Complete: Comprehensive guide available
- ✅ Migration Path Clear: Deprecation warnings provide clear guidance
# OLD (still works with deprecation warning)
model, history = fit(X, y, model_type='mlp')
# NEW (recommended)
model, history = fit(X, y, model='mlp')# Custom models now supported
def my_probe(input_dim, num_classes, **kwargs):
return MyCustomArchitecture(input_dim, num_classes, **kwargs)
model, history = fit(X, y, model=my_probe, custom_param=value)The Plug package successfully maintains backward compatibility while adding powerful new custom model functionality. All existing README.md examples continue to work, and the new tutorial provides comprehensive guidance for advanced usage.
Status: VERIFIED AND READY FOR PRODUCTION
