I am working on creating a WandbCallback for Weights and Biases. I am glad that CatBoost has a callback system in place but it would be great if we can extend the interface.

The current callback only supports after_iteration that takes info. Taking inspiration from XGBoost callback system it would be great if we can have before iteration that takes info, before_training, and `after

The official instructions say to use joblib for pickling PyOD models.

This fails for AutoEncoders, or any other TensorFlow-backed model as far as I can tell. The error is:

>>> dump(model, 'model.joblib')
...
TypeError: can't pickle _thread.RLock objects

Note that it's not sufficient to save the underlying Keras S

The extension templates (here: https://github.com/alan-turing-institute/sktime/tree/main/extension_templates) should be extended with a preamble that treats soft dependencies.

The challenge is to keep it very brief, and to make clear that adding soft dependencies is only necessary for the case of extending sktime itself. If the template is used in a project/package that has sktime as a depe
