Closes #8479. Contributes to #8420 (fitted-model conversion) and unblocks the cuml.accel proxy in #8477, which is waiting on fitted-state synchronization.

What this does

Implements IsolationForest._attrs_to_cpu, so as_sklearn() and the InteropMixin sync path produce a fully functional fitted sklearn.ensemble.IsolationForest from a fitted cuML model.

The tree structure comes from treelite.sklearn.export_model on the model's existing Treelite bytes, following the same route RandomForest*._attrs_to_cpu already uses. The isolation-forest-specific part is the per-node sample counts, which sklearn's scoring requires and the Treelite export does not carry: every leaf value is depth + average_path_length(n_samples), so the integer count is recovered by inverting sklearn's own _average_path_length. Internal counts are bottom-up sums, and each tree's root count must equal max_samples_, which validates every inversion in the tree at once.

Per the review guidance on #8420, the inversion fails loudly instead of guessing: a value matching no integer count, or more than one within tolerance (adjacent counts separate by roughly 2 / n, so this can only happen for very large max_samples), raises a ValueError that names the problem.

Acceptance criteria from #8479

  • as_sklearn() succeeds on a fitted model: covered by test_as_sklearn_scoring_parity and siblings.
  • score_samples parity: max abs diff ~1.7e-7 on float32 fits, ~2e-16 on float64 fits.
  • Prediction agreement across default, max_features, contamination, and bootstrap configurations: 100% in all four parametrized cases.
  • Fitted attributes and sklearn fit caches populated: verified against the attribute set a native sklearn fit creates. _seeds and _n_samples are deliberately not set because cuML does not record per-tree sample indices, so estimators_samples_ raises instead of returning wrong indices; this is documented in the class docstring and asserted in tests.
  • Pickle round trip of the converted estimator: identical scores and predictions.
  • cuml.accel synchronization: test_sync_attrs_to_cpu_populates_target exercises the exact _sync_attrs_to_cpu path the proxy uses.
  • Ambiguous count reconstruction fails clearly: negative, no-match, and ambiguous values each raise with a distinct message (test_invert_average_path_length_fails_loudly).

The reverse fitted sklearn to cuML conversion and populating data_count in the Treelite export stay follow-up work, as agreed on #8420.

Verification

I do not have a local CUDA toolchain to compile the modified .pyx, so local validation extracts the exact helper and method source from the modified file, executes it against the current cuml-cu13==26.08.00a171 nightly on a GTX 1650 Ti (WSL2), and runs the full test_isolation_forest.py suite that way: 96 tests pass, including the 12 new conversion tests, with zero regressions. cython-lint is clean and ruff check / ruff format (0.14.3) pass on the test file; remaining ruff findings on the .pyx are pre-existing on main.

Edge cases validated on GPU: constant-input degenerate trees (exact parity), float64 fits (parity at machine precision), feature_names_in_ transfer from DataFrame fits, and exact count inversion up to n = 5000.

Walkthrough

Changes

Fitted cuML IsolationForest models now convert to sklearn estimators by reconstructing tree sample counts from Treelite average path lengths. The conversion restores fitted metadata and scoring behavior. Tests cover parity, serialization, synchronization, edge cases, and invalid reconstruction inputs.

Changes

IsolationForest conversion

Layer / File(s) Summary
Tree sample-count reconstruction
python/cuml/cuml/ensemble/isolation_forest.pyx, python/cuml/tests/test_isolation_forest.py
The conversion inverts average path lengths, rebuilds internal sample counts, restores sklearn tree metadata, and validates invalid or ambiguous counts.
Fitted sklearn conversion
python/cuml/cuml/ensemble/isolation_forest.pyx, python/cuml/tests/test_isolation_forest.py
Fitted cuML models now populate sklearn-compatible attributes and estimators. Converted models do not provide estimators_samples_.
Conversion behavior validation
python/cuml/tests/test_isolation_forest.py
Tests validate scores, predictions, fitted attributes, float64 data, pickle round trips, constant data, synchronization, failed-fit handling, and fitted sklearn import rejection.

Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~45 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to e3706

This change enables fitted IsolationForest conversion, but the current head still has bounded correctness issues for invalid reconstructed counts and explicitly configured tree depth, and the added tests may fail repository lint/static-analysis gates. Merge should wait for these issues to be fixed or explicitly accepted.

Set max_features_ on the rebuilt sub-estimator.

ExtraTreeRegressor normally sets max_features_ during fit. Code that inspects the converted sub-estimators, including some sklearn utilities and check_is_fitted style introspection, can read it. Scoring does not need it, so this is a small completeness gap.

Cache the average path length lookups.

apl builds a new NumPy array and calls _average_path_length on every probe. The binary search runs about log2(n) probes per leaf, and _recover_node_sample_counts calls it for every leaf of every tree. For a 100-tree forest with max_samples=256 this creates on the order of 10^5 one-element array allocations per conversion.

A small memo cache removes the repeated work without changing behavior.

675-675: 🎯 Functional Correctness | 🔵 Trivial | 💤 Low value

max_depth ignores the user-supplied max_depth parameter.

cuML accepts an explicit max_depth, while sklearn's IsolationForest always derives it. Here the converted sub-estimators always receive ceil(log2(max(n_samples, 2))). When a user sets max_depth=3, the reconstructed ExtraTreeRegressor reports a max_depth that does not match the tree it carries.

The value is metadata only and does not change scoring, so this is a consistency gap rather than a scoring defect.

♻️ Proposed fix
-        max_depth = int(np.ceil(np.log2(max(n_samples, 2))))
+        max_depth = (
+            int(self.max_depth)

Add input-type coverage for the conversion path.

All conversion tests pass NumPy arrays. The repository guidelines require tests across cuDF, pandas, and NumPy inputs. Add at least one conversion test that fits from a cuDF or pandas frame, then checks that as_sklearn() scores match.

As per coding guidelines: "Test different input types: cuDF, pandas, NumPy".

Hello, thanks for working on this feature! I submitted dmlc/treelite#684 so that Treelite will preserve per-node sample counts. Let's wait until #684 is merged, and remove this utility function.

Reviewed, thanks for the quick fix upstream (findings posted on dmlc/treelite#684). One data point for the sequencing here: the bytes cuML currently serializes carry data_count as present with value 0 on every node, and task_type kRegressor, so exported trees would come back with n_node_samples equal to 0 silently. Dropping the reconstruction therefore needs, besides treelite#684, the cuML C++ export to write real counts and tag kIsolationForest, plus a treelite release picked up by cuML. Since #8477 is blocked on this conversion, one option is to land the reconstruction now and swap it for the exported counts in a follow-up once the whole chain is in place. Happy either way, I will follow whatever sequencing you and @csadorf prefer.

On the two outside diff comments from the latest CodeRabbit pass:

  • Configured max_depth: good catch, fixed in e370675. The reconstructed estimators now carry int(self.max_depth) when it is set, with a regression test (test_as_sklearn_respects_max_depth) that also checks scoring parity on depth truncated trees, verified on GPU.
  • Negative average path length tolerance: keeping as is. The tolerance is symmetric by design: every candidate count n is accepted iff abs(apl(n) - value) <= atol, and apl(1) = 0, so a value in (-atol, 0) identifies n = 1 under the same rule as every other count. Rejecting it would give n = 1 a one sided tolerance, while clearly invalid values below -atol already raise.

This only covers a failed initial fit. A failed refit can retain stale fitted state: _model is cleared, but _treelite_model_bytes retains the previous forest, so as_sklearn() returns that stale model with the new invalid parameters.

Minimal reproducer
import numpy as np
import pytest
from cuml.ensemble import IsolationForest

X = np.random.default_rng(0).normal(size=(100, 4)).astype(np.float32)
model = IsolationForest(n_estimators=5).fit(X)

model.set_params(max_features=0)
with pytest.raises(ValueError, match="max_features"):
    model.fit(X)

assert model._treelite_model_bytes is None
with pytest.raises(RuntimeError, match="not been fitted"):
    model.as_sklearn()

Could we reset the serialized and derived fitted state consistently and add coverage for this case?
