The code requires some external libraries depending on the needs.

An example of running is provided in the file main.m.
Our method has 4 hyperparameters that have to be (cross-)validated. Additional parameters can also been used.
lambda_w is the regularization parameter for the classifiers w. lambda_a is the regularization parameter fo
params.seed is the random seed params.max_trials is the number of samples for sdp rounding (when A can be any matrix, this is important) params.loss is the loss on labelings and is among [f1, hamming] params.relaxation is the type of relaxation wanted, it can be[graph-cut, sdp, spectral] params.solver is the external solver called to solve the SDP when chosen, it can be [cvx, mosek, low-rank] params.data_path is the path to data params.T is the number of subgradient steps params.time compute loss every [time] steps params.be is the step-size exponent see function get_stepsize for details [-1, -0.75, -0.5] params.quadratic set the use of quadratic penalty (A) or not (otherwise we are just doing one versus rest SVM using Hamming or F1 loss) params.proj_A type of affinities in A, can be [positive, negative, none], recall that negative call graph-cut solvers params.init_a is the initialization for A and can be [rand, eye] params.init_w is the initialization for W [rand, svm]
