**TensorFlow Decision Forests** (**TF-DF**) is a library to train, run and
interpret [decision forest](https://ydf.readthedocs.io/en/latest/intro_df.html)
models (e.g., Random Forests, Gradient Boosted Trees) in TensorFlow. TF-DF
supports classification, regression and ranking.

**TF-DF** is powered by
[Yggdrasil Decision Forest](https://github.com/google/yggdrasil-decision-forests)
(**YDF**, a library to train and use decision forests in C++, JavaScript, CLI,
and Go. TF-DF models are
[compatible](https://ydf.readthedocs.io/en/latest/convert_model.html#convert-a-a-tensorflow-decision-forests-model-to-a-yggdrasil-model)
with YDF' models, and vice versa.

Tensorflow Decision Forests is available on Linux and Mac. Windows users can use
the library through WSL+Linux.

## Usage example

A minimal end-to-end run looks as follows:

```python
import tensorflow_decision_forests as tfdf
import pandas as pd

# Load the dataset in a Pandas dataframe.
train_df = pd.read_csv("project/train.csv")
test_df = pd.read_csv("project/test.csv")

# Convert the dataset into a TensorFlow dataset.
train_ds = tfdf.keras.pd_dataframe_to_tf_dataset(train_df, label="my_label")
test_ds = tfdf.keras.pd_dataframe_to_tf_dataset(test_df, label="my_label")

# Train the model
model = tfdf.keras.RandomForestModel()
model.fit(train_ds)

# Look at the model.
model.summary()

# Evaluate the model.
model.evaluate(test_ds)

# Export to a TensorFlow SavedModel.
# Note: the model is compatible with Yggdrasil Decision Forests.
model.save("project/model")
```
