SSVMjulia

Cutting-plane Structured SVM in Julia, solving the Primal QP of the 1-slack formulation

This implementation has the following advantages over SVM-struct-matlab:

• Constraint caching (reuse full inference results)
• Parallelization of the inference step (one process per example)
• Additional positivity constraints on arbitrary coordinates of w

The two first points are very beneficial in settings were the inference task takes most of the time.

See SSVMjulia-tutorial.ipynb for a tutorial in IJulia notebook.
