We have improved the trust-region update rule in the primal-based Newton method. It's significantly faster (e.g., twice faster or more) on some problems (see the technical report).
We now support scipy objects in the Python interface
LIBLINEAR is a linear classifier for data with millions of instances
and features. It supports
L2-regularized classifiers
L2-loss linear SVM, L1-loss linear SVM, and logistic regression (LR)
L1-regularized classifiers (after version 1.4)
L2-loss linear SVM and logistic regression (LR)
L2-regularized support vector regression (after version 1.9)
L2-loss linear SVR and L1-loss linear SVR.
Main features of LIBLINEAR include
Same data format as LIBSVM, our general-purpose SVM solver,
and also similar usage
Multi-class classification: 1) one-vs-the rest, 2) Crammer & Singer
Cross validation for model selection
Probability estimates (logistic regression only)
Weights for unbalanced data
MATLAB/Octave, Java, Python, Ruby interfaces
