Detailed Description

This tutorial show how you can train a machine learning model with any package reading the training data directly from ROOT files.

Using XGBoost, we illustrate how you can convert an externally trained model in a format serializable and readable with the fast tree inference engine offered by TMVA.

 
# XGBoost has to be imported before ROOT to avoid crashes because of clashing
# std::regexp symbols that are exported by cppyy.
# See also: https://github.com/wlav/cppyy/issues/227
