Cannot use contextual-ai with python 3.9 based application due to hard dependency on scikit-learn version

[sinha-kirti]

Hi Team,

There is a strong dependency on contextual-ai on scikit-learn version 0.21.x. As a result, we cannot use this library beyond python 3.7. We are using contextual-ai==0.0.2. Consider the error log below:

This module is only available till scikit-learn version 0.21.x. See: https://github.com/scikit-learn/scikit-learn/tree/0.22.X/sklearn/metrics and https://github.com/scikit-learn/scikit-learn/tree/0.21.X/sklearn/metrics

Is there any plan to make this library compatible with newer versions of python (v3.9 and v3.10)?

Although the requirements file pins the scikit-learn version to 0.22.2, the classification module is deprecated in version 0.22.2.
