Fast Linear binary SVM classifier

Fast implementation of Linear binary SVM via BLAS/OpenMP API

LSVM v 3.0
---------
Fast Linear SVM binary solver toolbox such PEGASOS/LIBLINEAR.
This toolbox offers fast implementation via mex-files of the two most
popular Linear SVM algorithms for binary classification: PEGASOS [1] and LIBLINEAR [2].

This toolbox can use BLAS/OpenMP API for faster computation on multi-cores processor.
It accepts dense inputs in single/double precision.

For comparaison with [2] in binary case, this package requires less memory and is approximatively between 10% up to 50% faster. Ideal for Large-scale training in computer vision for example

Installation
------------

Run "mexme_lsvm.m" to compile mex-files.

Testing
-------

Run "test_lsvm.m" for demo

Online help by typing pegasos_train or cddcsvm_train in matlab prompt.
