You mean the input is a NumPy array? There's no special support for
that, but the following should work (though it may be slow). Let X be
your array and d the desired dimensionality, then:
hasher = FeatureHasher(n_features=d, input_type="pair")
features = map(str, range(X.shape[1]))
Xh = hasher.transform(zip(features, row) for row in X).toarray()
hashes X into Xh of shape (X.shape[0], d).
You might want to look at the random projection module [1], which can
do somewhat similar transforms much more quickly.
