liblinear-247

Introduction to liblinear

This package provides a library for learning linear classifiers for large scale applications. It supports Support Vector Machines (SVM) with L2 and L1 loss, logistic regression, multi class classification and also Linear Programming Machines (L1-regularized SVMs). Its computational complexity scales linearly with the number of training examples making it one of the fastest SVM solvers around.

This package is known to build and work properly using an LFS 12.0 platform.

Note

After updating this package from liblinear-1.96 or earlier, you need to reinstall Nmap-7.94, in order to link to the new library.
