[scikit-learn] Classifiers for dataset with categorical features

Hello,

I am wondering if there are some classifiers that perform better for
datasets with categorical features (converted into sparse input matrix with
pd.get_dummies())? The data for the categorical features are nominal (order
doesn't matter, e.g. country, occupation, etc).

If you could provide me some references (papers, books, website, etc), that
would be great.

Thank you very much!
