Description

Contributor guide

Research direction

Inspect the from dataframe method in the LSDB repository, understand its current input handling, and add support for dictionary input by converting it to a pandas DataFrame before processing. Look for existing tests for from dataframe to see where to add new tests for dictionary input. Ensure that the behavior is consistent with the existing functionality.
