  Input of `train` and `evaluate` should have following features,
  otherwise there will be a `KeyError`:

  * if `weight_column` is not `None`, a feature with
    `key=weight_column` whose value is a `Tensor`.
  * for each `column` in `feature_columns`:
    - if `column` is a `_CategoricalColumn`, a feature with `key=column.name`
      whose `value` is a `SparseTensor`.
    - if `column` is a `_WeightedCategoricalColumn`, two features: the first
      with `key` the id column name, the second with `key` the weight column
      name. Both features' `value` must be a `SparseTensor`.
    - if `column` is a `_DenseColumn`, a feature with `key=column.name`
      whose `value` is a `Tensor`.

  Loss and predicted output are determined by the specified head.

    Args:
      head: A `_Head` instance constructed with a method such as
        `tf.contrib.estimator.multi_label_head`.
      feature_columns: An iterable containing all the feature columns used by
        the model. All items in the set should be instances of classes derived
        from `FeatureColumn`.
      model_dir: Directory to save model parameters, graph and etc. This can

        to continue training a previously saved model.
      optimizer: An instance of `tf.Optimizer` used to train the model. Can also
        be a string (one of 'Adagrad', 'Adam', 'Ftrl', 'RMSProp', 'SGD'), or
        callable. Defaults to FTRL optimizer.
      config: `RunConfig` object to configure the runtime settings.
      partitioner: Optional. Partitioner for input layer.
      sparse_combiner: A string specifying how to reduce if a categorical column
        is multivalent.  One of "mean", "sqrtn", and "sum" -- these are
        effectively different ways to do example-level normalization, which can
        be useful for bag-of-words features. for more details, see
