Description

🌟 Feature Description

Refactor the setting management with pedantic.

Motivation

Qlib's setting/config management is based on a dict, which is extremely free but hard to read. We hope to manage it with pedantic, which can support rich docstring and annotation.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Examine the current config management in qlib/config.py, understand the pedantic library, and refactor to use pedantic for better documentation and validation.
