"""One class to rule them all.
Estimator is the highest level class within FastEstimator. It is the class which is invoked to actually train
(estimator.fit) or test (estimator.test) models. It wraps `Pipeline`, `Network`, `Trace` objects together and
defines the whole optimization process.
Args:
pipeline: An fe.Pipeline object that defines the data processing workflow.
network: An fe.Network object that contains models and other training graph definitions.
epochs: The number of epochs to run.
max_train_steps_per_epoch: Training will complete after n steps even if loader is not yet exhausted. If None,
all data will be used.
max_eval_steps_per_epoch: Evaluation will complete after n steps even if loader is not yet exhausted. If None,
all data will be used.
traces: What Traces to run during training. If None, only the system's default Traces will be included.
log_steps: Frequency (in steps) for printing log messages. 0 to disable all step-based printing (though epoch
information will still print). None to completely disable printing.
monitor_names: Additional keys from the data dictionary to be written into the logs.
