Description : OCAS solver for training linear SVM classifiers
This library implements Optimized Cutting Plane Algorithm (OCAS) for training
linear SVM classifiers from large-scale data. The computational effort of OCAS
scales with O(m log m) where m is the sample size. In an extensive empirical
evaluation OCAS significantly outperforms current state of the art SVM solvers,
like SVM^light, SVM^perf and BMRM, achieving speedups of over 1,000 on some
datasets over SVM^light and 20 over SVM^perf, while obtaining the same precise
Support Vector solution.
