Use cases: When you have many classes that are linearly separable and want a fast online learner to get results quickly. Pre-requisites: Data must be shuffled and normalized either between 0..1 or by mean and standard deviation. Technical details: The training approach taken is to minimize the ranking loss of the correct label vs the incorrect ones. We define this loss as hinge(1 - correct label score + wrong label score) where wrong label score is the score of the highest scoring label that is not the correct label. The hinge function is hinge(x) = x if x > 0, 0 otherwise. Parameters: There is only one - learningRate. You set it to a larger number to converge faster, or a smaller number to be more cautious. The normal way to use it is via cross validation. Good values are (0.1, 1.0, 10.0). Change your notification preferences: https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/users/viewnotifications.action
