The Vowpal Wabbit (VW) project is a fast out-of-core learning system
|
||
|
|
sponsored by Microsoft Research and (previously) Yahoo! Research.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
There are two ways to have a fast learning algorithm: (a) start with a slow
|
||
|
|
algorithm and speed it up, or (b) build an intrinsically fast learning
|
||
|
|
algorithm. This project is about approach (b), and it's reached a state
|
||
|
|
where it may be useful to others as a platform for research and experimentation.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
There are several optimization algorithms available with the baseline
|
||
|
|
being sparse gradient descent (GD) on a loss function (several are available).
