The important change is adding a
-e script [args...]
hook tovw-hypersearch
so users can plug-in arbitrary model goodness evaluation functions rather than the default average loss fromvw
. This already helped me a lot to move much faster forward in a Kaggle competition. e.g. You may wrap KDDperf
on independent test sets, use various AUCs etc.The other is miscellaneous enhancements to vw-convergence. Thanks.
