"""This API defines FeatureColumn abstraction.

FeatureColumns provide a high level abstraction for ingesting and representing
features. FeatureColumns are also the primary way of encoding features for
canned `tf.estimator.Estimator`s.

When using FeatureColumns with `Estimators`, the type of feature column you
should choose depends on (1) the feature type and (2) the model type.

1. Feature type:

  * Continuous features can be represented by `numeric_column`.
  * Categorical features can be represented by any `categorical_column_with_*`
  column:
    - `categorical_column_with_vocabulary_list`
    - `categorical_column_with_vocabulary_file`
    - `categorical_column_with_hash_bucket`
    - `categorical_column_with_identity`
    - `weighted_categorical_column`

2. Model type:

  * Deep neural network models (`DNNClassifier`, `DNNRegressor`).

    Continuous features can be directly fed into deep neural network models.

      age_column = numeric_column("age")

    To feed sparse features into DNN models, wrap the column with
    `embedding_column` or `indicator_column`. `indicator_column` is recommended
    for features with only a few possible values. For features with many
    possible values, to reduce the size of your model, `embedding_column` is
    recommended.

      embedded_dept_column = embedding_column(
          categorical_column_with_vocabulary_list(
              "department", ["math", "philosophy", ...]), dimension=10)

  * Wide (aka linear) models (`LinearClassifier`, `LinearRegressor`).

    Sparse features can be fed directly into linear models. They behave like an
    indicator column but with an efficient implementation.

      dept_column = categorical_column_with_vocabulary_list("department",
          ["math", "philosophy", "english"])

    It is recommended that continuous features be bucketized before being
    fed into linear models.

      bucketized_age_column = bucketized_column(
          source_column=age_column,
          boundaries=[18, 25, 30, 35, 40, 45, 50, 55, 60, 65])

    Sparse features can be crossed (also known as conjuncted or combined) in
    order to form non-linearities, and then fed into linear models.

      cross_dept_age_column = crossed_column(
          columns=["department", bucketized_age_column],
          hash_bucket_size=1000)

Example of building canned `Estimator`s using FeatureColumns:

  ```python
  # Define features and transformations
  deep_feature_columns = [age_column, embedded_dept_column]
  wide_feature_columns = [dept_column, bucketized_age_column,
      cross_dept_age_column]

  # Build deep model
  estimator = DNNClassifier(
      feature_columns=deep_feature_columns,
      hidden_units=[500, 250, 50])
  estimator.train(...)

  # Or build a wide model
  estimator = LinearClassifier(
      feature_columns=wide_feature_columns)
  estimator.train(...)

  # Or build a wide and deep model!
  estimator = DNNLinearCombinedClassifier(
      linear_feature_columns=wide_feature_columns,
      dnn_feature_columns=deep_feature_columns,
      dnn_hidden_units=[500, 250, 50])
  estimator.train(...)
  ```


FeatureColumns can also be transformed into a generic input layer for
custom models using `input_layer`.

Example of building model using FeatureColumns, this can be used in a
`model_fn` which is given to the {tf.estimator.Estimator}:

  ```python
  # Building model via layers

  deep_feature_columns = [age_column, embedded_dept_column]
  columns_to_tensor = parse_feature_columns_from_examples(
      serialized=my_data,
      feature_columns=deep_feature_columns)
  first_layer = input_layer(
      features=columns_to_tensor,
      feature_columns=deep_feature_columns)
  second_layer = fully_connected(first_layer, ...)
  ```

the API subject to change, and should not be relied upon!

  """Returns a linear prediction `Tensor` based on given `feature_columns`.

  This function generates a weighted sum based on output dimension `units`.
  Weighted sum refers to logits in classification problems. It refers to the
  prediction itself for linear regression problems.

  Note on supported columns: `linear_model` treats categorical columns as
  `indicator_column`s. To be specific, assume the input as `SparseTensor` looks
  like:

  ```python
    shape = [2, 2]
    {
        [0, 0]: "a"
        [1, 0]: "b"
        [1, 1]: "c"
    }
  ```
  `linear_model` assigns weights for the presence of "a", "b", "c' implicitly,
  just like `indicator_column`, while `input_layer` explicitly requires wrapping
  each of categorical columns with an `embedding_column` or an
  `indicator_column`.

  Example of usage:

  ```python
  price = numeric_column('price')
  price_buckets = bucketized_column(price, boundaries=[0., 10., 100., 1000.])
  keywords = categorical_column_with_hash_bucket("keywords", 10K)
  keywords_price = crossed_column('keywords', price_buckets, ...)
  columns = [price_buckets, keywords, keywords_price ...]
  features = tf.parse_example(..., features=make_parse_example_spec(columns))
  prediction = linear_model(features, columns)
  ```

  Args:
    features: A mapping from key to tensors. `_FeatureColumn`s look up via these
      keys. For example `numeric_column('price')` will look at 'price' key in
      this dict. Values are `Tensor` or `SparseTensor` depending on
      corresponding `_FeatureColumn`.
    feature_columns: An iterable containing the FeatureColumns to use as inputs
      to your model. All items should be instances of classes derived from
      `_FeatureColumn`s.
    units: An integer, dimensionality of the output space. Default value is 1.
    sparse_combiner: A string specifying how to reduce if a categorical column
      is multivalent. Except `numeric_column`, almost all columns passed to
      `linear_model` are considered as categorical columns.  It combines each
      categorical column independently. Currently "mean", "sqrtn" and "sum" are
      supported, with "sum" the default for linear model. "sqrtn" often achieves
      good accuracy, in particular with bag-of-words columns.
        * "sum": do not normalize features in the column
        * "mean": do l1 normalization on features in the column
        * "sqrtn": do l2 normalization on features in the column
      For example, for two features represented as the categorical columns:

      ```python
        # Feature 1

        shape = [2, 2]
        {
            [0, 0]: "a"
            [0, 1]: "b"
            [1, 0]: "c"
        }

        # Feature 2

        shape = [2, 3]
        {
            [0, 0]: "d"
            [1, 0]: "e"
            [1, 1]: "f"
            [1, 2]: "g"
        }
      ```
      with `sparse_combiner` as "mean", the linear model outputs conceptly are:
      ```
        y_0 = 1.0 / 2.0 * ( w_a + w_ b) + w_c + b_0
        y_1 = w_d + 1.0 / 3.0 * ( w_e + w_ f + w_g) + b_1
      ```
      where `y_i` is the output, `b_i` is the bias, and `w_x` is the weight
      assigned to the presence of `x` in the input features.
    weight_collections: A list of collection names to which the Variable will be
      added. Note that, variables will also be added to collections
      `tf.GraphKeys.GLOBAL_VARIABLES` and `ops.GraphKeys.MODEL_VARIABLES`.
    trainable: If `True` also add the variable to the graph collection
      `GraphKeys.TRAINABLE_VARIABLES` (see `tf.Variable`).
    cols_to_vars: If not `None`, must be a dictionary that will be filled with a
      mapping from `_FeatureColumn` to associated list of `Variable`s.  For
      example, after the call, we might have cols_to_vars = {
        _NumericColumn(
          key='numeric_feature1', shape=(1,):
        [<tf.Variable 'linear_model/price2/weights:0' shape=(1, 1)>],
        'bias': [<tf.Variable 'linear_model/bias_weights:0' shape=(1,)>],

          key='numeric_feature2', shape=(2,)):
        [<tf.Variable 'linear_model/price1/weights:0' shape=(2, 1)>]}
      If a column creates no variables, its value will be an empty list. Note
      that cols_to_vars will also contain a string key 'bias' that maps to a
      list of Variables.

  Buckets include the left boundary, and exclude the right boundary. Namely,
  `boundaries=[0., 1., 2.]` generates buckets `(-inf, 0.)`, `[0., 1.)`,
  `[1., 2.)`, and `[2., +inf)`.

  For example, if the inputs are

  ```python

  ```python
  price = numeric_column('price')
  # bucketized_column converts numerical feature to a categorical one.
  bucketized_price = bucketized_column(price, boundaries=[...])

    Hash(cartesian product of features) % `hash_bucket_size`

  For example, if the input features are:

  * SparseTensor referred by first key:

    ```python
    shape = [2, 2]
    {
        [0, 0]: "a"
        [1, 0]: "b"
        [1, 1]: "c"
    }
    ```

  * SparseTensor referred by second key:

    ```python
    shape = [2, 1]
    {
        [0, 0]: "d"
        [1, 0]: "e"
    }
    ```

  then crossed feature will look like:

  ```python
   shape = [2, 2]
  {
      [0, 0]: Hash64("d", Hash64("a")) % hash_bucket_size
      [1, 0]: Hash64("e", Hash64("b")) % hash_bucket_size
      [1, 1]: Hash64("e", Hash64("c")) % hash_bucket_size
  }
  ```

  Here is an example to create a linear model with crosses of string features:

  ```python
  keywords_x_doc_terms = crossed_column(['keywords', 'doc_terms'], 50K)
  columns = [keywords_x_doc_terms, ...]
  features = tf.parse_example(..., features=make_parse_example_spec(columns))
  linear_prediction = linear_model(features, columns)
  ```

  You could also use vocabulary lookup before crossing:

  ```python
  keywords = categorical_column_with_vocabulary_file(
      'keywords', '/path/to/vocabulary/file', vocabulary_size=1K)
  keywords_x_doc_terms = crossed_column([keywords, 'doc_terms'], 50K)
  columns = [keywords_x_doc_terms, ...]
  features = tf.parse_example(..., features=make_parse_example_spec(columns))
  linear_prediction = linear_model(features, columns)
  ```

  If an input feature is of numeric type, you can use
  `categorical_column_with_identity`, or `bucketized_column`, as in the example:

  ```python
  # vertical_id is an integer categorical feature.
  vertical_id = categorical_column_with_identity('vertical_id', 10K)
  price = numeric_column('price')
  # bucketized_column converts numerical feature to a categorical one.
  bucketized_price = bucketized_column(price, boundaries=[...])
  vertical_id_x_price = crossed_column([vertical_id, bucketized_price], 50K)
  columns = [vertical_id_x_price, ...]
  features = tf.parse_example(..., features=make_parse_example_spec(columns))
  linear_prediction = linear_model(features, columns)
  ```

  To use crossed column in DNN model, you need to add it in an embedding column
  as in this example:

  ```python
  vertical_id_x_price = crossed_column([vertical_id, bucketized_price], 50K)
  vertical_id_x_price_embedded = embedding_column(vertical_id_x_price, 10)
  dense_tensor = input_layer(features, [vertical_id_x_price_embedded, ...])
  ```

  Args:
    keys: An iterable identifying the features to be crossed. Each element can
      be either:
      * string: Will use the corresponding feature which must be of string type.
      * `_CategoricalColumn`: Will use the transformed tensor produced by this
        column. Does not support hashed categorical column.
    hash_bucket_size: An int > 1. The number of buckets.
    hash_key: Specify the hash_key that will be used by the `FingerprintCat64`
      function to combine the crosses fingerprints on SparseCrossOp (optional).

  Returns:
    A `_CrossedColumn`.

  Raises:
    ValueError: If `len(keys) < 2`.
    ValueError: If any of the keys is neither a string nor `_CategoricalColumn`.
    ValueError: If any of the keys is `_HashedCategoricalColumn`.
