+/** This [[Solver]] performs Stochastic Gradient Descent optimization
using mini batches
+ *
+ * For each labeled vector in a mini batch the gradient is computed and
added to a partial
+ * gradient. The partial gradients are then summed and divided by the
size of the batches. The
+ * average gradient is then used to updated the weight values, including
regularization.
+ *
+ * At the moment, the whole partition is used for SGD, making it
effectively a batch gradient
+ * descent. Once a sampling operator has been introduced, the algorithm
can be optimized
+ *
+ * @param runParameters The parameters to tune the algorithm. Currently
these include:
+ * [[Solver.LossFunction]] for the loss function to
be used,
+ * [[Solver.RegularizationType]] for the type of
regularization,
+ * [[Solver.RegularizationParameter]] for the
regularization parameter,
+ * [[IterativeSolver.Iterations]] for the maximum
number of iteration,
+ * [[IterativeSolver.Stepsize]] for the learning
rate used.

> Project: Flink

> Components: Machine Learning Library
> Reporter: Till Rohrmann
> Assignee: Theodore Vasiloudis
> Labels: ML
>
> Stochastic gradient descent (SGD) is a widely used optimization technique in
> different ML algorithms. Thus, it would be helpful to provide a generalized
> SGD implementation which can be instantiated with the respective gradient
> computation. Such a building block would make the development of future
> algorithms easier.
