Just an FYI - you can achieve this in 3 layers. It does not need to be deep. https://github.com/charliec443/TreeGrad

Yeah, this one does something much less insane, i.e., it converts the paths to the tree outputs into their corresponding DNS (disjunctive normal form) and represents each term as a node (side by side in the same layer) in the NN, as described by Arunava Banerjee in "Initializing Neural Networks using Decision" [1]. The resulting NN architecture is much more reasonable than the one that treebomination produces.
