Pour éviter le surapprentissage, précise que le target encoding doit être calculé par validation croisée (fold par fold) et jamais sur tout le dataset. Ajoute aussi une règle pour les modalités rares : seuil de fréquence ou regroupement en catégorie « other ». Ainsi la recommandation sera plus robuste en pratique.
