n4nd0pluskid: hey! did you find the version of the paper you talked about yesterday?11:58
n4nd0pluskid: I am in the university now so I can try to look for it otherwise11:58
pluskidn4nd0: no, please try11:59
pluskidI don't have easy access to the school network after graduation... :(11:59
n4nd0pluskid: all right, got it :)12:00
n4nd0pluskid: do you want me to mail it to you, dropbox, or?12:00
pluskidn4nd0: mail me, thanks!12:02
pluskid:D12:02
n4nd0all right, it should be in your mailbox soon12:02
n4nd0pluskid: let me know if it is the correct one12:02
pluskidcool!12:02
pluskidn4nd0: awesome! It's the one I'm looking for12:03
n4nd0pluskid: nice, and I forgot to say, you are welcome ;)12:03

blackburnn4nd0: when do you think you will be able to merge structured labels thing?12:20
n4nd0blackburn: now it is in compilable state but there are things that probably need to be completed12:21
n4nd0blackburn: what state do you want it to be in order to be merged?12:21
blackburnhmm no idea - what is uncompleted in SO labels?12:22
n4nd0I just have a basic interface now12:23
n4nd0once I start using it for specific examples, functionality needs will pop up12:23
n4nd0blackburn: for me, the sooner we merge it, the better. It feels safer12:25
blackburnyes - but can't you provide all the needed functionality in that interface?12:25
n4nd0blackburn: it could be a good idea to wait since I may not have a perfect idea of all we need there a priori12:26
blackburnthat's why you have mentor :)12:29
blackburnhowever yes hard to predict everything12:29
n4nd0what has it happened in github? the comments in the interface files seem to be wrong indented12:30
blackburnwhere?12:33
n4nd0https://github.com/shogun-toolbox/shogun/blob/master/src/shogun/classifier/LDA.h12:34
n4nd0I have opened some of them at random and they look so12:35
pluskidlooks fine here12:42
n4nd0pluskid: mmm really? it appears in the browser, it should be the same for all I guess12:43
pluskidall comments are of the same indent in my browser12:44
imeanwowWhat is right or what is wrong? When you realize that you possess a highly powerful set of skills12:44

sonne|workn4nd0: my take on this is that I would rather merge early and often as long as your code compiles and doesn't break anything14:00
sonne|workand as you have seen - nothing in shogun is set in stone...14:00
sonne|workbut some things are harder to correct than others14:00
-!- vikram360 [~vikram360@117.192.181.10] has joined #shogun14:01
n4nd0sonne|work: it compiles well and I have nothed nothing breaking here :)14:01
sonne|workthen pull request and I merge14:01
n4nd0sonne|work: ok, I will rebase first to introduce changes from yesterday midday14:02
n4nd0sonne|work: I think it is a good idea to merge since in that way uricamic, wiking and I know how each other is working14:05
n4nd0what will be good since our projects are somewhat related14:05
wikinganybody seen alex around today?14:07
sonne|workwiking: no ...14:08
wiking:(14:08
wikingwe suppose to have a meeting now14:08
wikingor at least today14:08
sonne|workwiking: hmmmh?14:08
sonne|workemail him :)14:08
wikingsonne|work: yeah we've agreed it via email ;P14:09
sonne|workno email him now again reminding him14:09
n4nd0by the way, does any of you see this warning when compiling?14:12
n4nd0./../shogun/lib/DynamicArray.h:296: Warning 516: Overloaded method shogun::CDynamicArray< char >::element(int32_t,int32_t,int32_t) ignored,14:12
n4nd0../../shogun/lib/DynamicArray.h:284: Warning 516: using shogun::CDynamicArray< char >::element(int32_t,int32_t,int32_t) const instead.14:12
n4nd0it appears quite a lot of times here14:12
sonne|workn4nd0: with swig you mean?14:35
sonne|workyeah no idea why we need the const one...14:35
n4nd0sonne|work: I don't know if it is a problem with SWIG or something different14:35
n4nd0and I am not sure if it is something that happens to me locally14:36
sonne|workn4nd0: well if you compile with ./configure --interface=14:36
sonne|workthis warning shouldn't be there14:36
n4nd0I am compiling with ./configure --interface=python_modular --disable-optimization --disable-doxygen14:36
n4nd0mmmm maybe --integerface=pyton_modular was not there the last time14:37
n4nd0sonne|work: ok, I've just compiled with --interfaces= and no warnings :) thank you!14:43
sonne|workn4nd0: well you usually (before doing a pull request) should compile it with one static and one modular interface14:44
sonne|workotherwise lots of errors slip through14:44
n4nd0ok14:45
sonne|workn4nd0: can we have a better name than VanillaStructuredOutputMachine?14:48
-!- wiking [~wiking@huwico/staff/wiking] has quit [Quit: wiking]14:48
sonne|workwhat is a vanilla machine?14:48
sonne|workice cream :)14:49
n4nd0haha14:49
n4nd0we are using there the optimization algorithm that we have designated as "vanilla"14:49
n4nd0I guess because it is the most straighforward or naive one, not because of its taste :P14:49
n4nd0mmm let me see14:50
sonne|workn4nd0: I first thought you meant the SOMachine14:51
sonne|workbut then I realized that there is SOMachine -> linearsomachien -> vanillasomachine14:51
n4nd0yes14:51
n4nd0sonne|work: check here http://iglesiashogun.wordpress.com/14:52
n4nd0there is a class diagram in the last post that will make you see the design faster14:52
n4nd0sonne|work: now I realize that it probably makes sense to have the weight vector in LinearSOMachine instead of in VanillaSOMachine14:54
sonne|workyeah ok but we need some better term than vanilla14:57
sonne|workn4nd0: anyway I am merging right now but please fix both the 'vanilla' and w -> linearsomachine14:58
n4nd0sonne|work: any suggestion instead of vanilla?14:58
CIA-113shogun: Soeren Sonnenburg master * r8b0279c / (28 files in 5 dirs): Merge pull request #551 from iglesias/so (+18 more commits...) - http://git.io/rBhtYw14:59
sonne|workn4nd0: what does 'vanilla' do ?14:59
sonne|workn4nd0: nice blog15:00
sonne|workI have to add it to planet tonight15:00
n4nd0sonne|work: it is the algorithm Nico wrote in the pdf he sent around15:01
sonne|workn4nd0: which one15:01
sonne|workthere were many :)15:02
n4nd0sonne|work: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/11020840/shogun/so.pdf15:02
n4nd0in the second page of the document15:03
n4nd0Algorithm 1 (the only algorithm there)15:03
sonne|workalright the primal solver15:03
sonne|workunconstrained optimzation problem ?15:04
n4nd0there are constraints15:05
n4nd0although they are not written in the algorithm15:05
sonne|workok15:05
n4nd0they appear in equation (1), using the output of init_op15:05
n4nd0but I think that, even if the formulation that appears there is for the primal, this same algorithm can be used for the dual15:06
sonne|workn4nd0: I think you should change then name completely then15:06
sonne|workI mean drop the SOMachine part15:06
n4nd0in the paper they do it with the dual IIRC15:06
sonne|workand invent something like libsvm :)15:07
n4nd0I would like to have the SO part though15:08
sonne|workn4nd0: will you be using mosek for it?15:08
n4nd0this is something that works for SO since we are using this Delta loss function and the combined featuers15:08
n4nd0sonne|work: hopefully15:08
n4nd0I need some help with the formulation of the optimization problem, I am supposed to talk to Nico about it now around here ...15:09
sonne|workn4nd0: yeah but suffixing with the machine name unecessary makes the name longer15:09

nicococohi n4nd016:00
n4nd0hey nicococo, how is it going?16:01
nicococomedium to well :)16:01
nicococohow is the toolbox progressing?16:01
n4nd0so so+16:02
n4nd0I am kind of stuck with the optimization part16:02
nicococohehe.. what can i do to help speed it up?16:02
n4nd0so I don't know how to translate a couple of terms in our optimization problem to mosek16:03
n4nd0the first one I already asked you by mail, but I think I didn't get that much the answer16:03
n4nd0so we have this16:03
n4nd0min_w 1/2 w'?C?w + sum_i l(...)16:04
nicococojupp16:04
n4nd0where l is loss function evaluated in this expression max_y16:04
n4nd0you know which one I mean right?16:04
nicococookay and the optimizer has the following form:16:04
nicococomin_x 0.5 x'Hx + f'x .. right16:05
nicococo?16:05
n4nd0yes16:05
n4nd0with a constant term too16:05
n4nd0but yes, that's it16:05
nicococothe trick here is: 1. we don't use the unconstraint version16:05
nicococowhich means we have:  0.5w'Cw + sum_i slack_i16:05
n4nd0ok16:06
nicococoall you have to do know is to add one constraint per iteration per example to the Ax <= b16:06
nicococonow, we have to setup the optimization variable x which is a block variable16:07
nicococox = [w, slacks]16:07
nicococothen f = ones(N,1)16:08
sonne|worknicococo: hey there - do you have an idea for a short but more reasonable name than VanillaSOMachine?16:08
nicococoi like vanilla... don't you16:08
sonne|workno the name is too long16:08
n4nd0VanillaSVM16:09
sonne|workwe have CPLEXSvm :)16:09
n4nd0or VanillaSOSVM16:09
nicococofine with me16:09
sonne|worknot vanilla though16:09
sonne|workit doesn't say anything16:09
n4nd0it says that it is basic16:10
sonne|worknicococo: don't you have a name for that problem?16:10
nicococoBasicPrimalSOSVM16:10
nicococo?16:10
sonne|worka lot better to digest16:10
sonne|workdoes it need SVM?16:10
sonne|workin the name?16:10
sonne|workotherwise we take this16:11
nicococoBasicPrimal is not a good name without SOSVM, right?16:11
sonne|workerr if yes16:11
sonne|worknicococo: you can also think up names like svmlight, torch, libsvm or whatever16:12
n4nd0nicococo: I don't understand why f turns out to be a vector of ones16:12
nicocococool, what abaout VanillaSOSVM ;)16:12
n4nd0:D16:12
sonne|worknicococo: when we meet again next time ....DANGER16:13
sonne|worknicococo: will this use mosek?16:13
nicococoi'm not really scared :)   and yes, mosek it is16:13
sonne|workPrimalMosekSOSVM then16:13
nicococoalright16:14
n4nd0agree16:14
nicococookay back to ones vector?16:15
n4nd0nicococo: so how it turns out that f = ones(N,1)?16:15
n4nd0for me that looks like16:15
nicococoyoure right it is a zero ones vector16:16
n4nd0min w'Cw + w16:16
sonne|worknicococo: did you see Alexander today? wiking was looking for him said that they wanted to meet in chat..16:16
nicococono, we have x = [w;slacks]16:16
nicococosonney, i can give him a hint16:16
n4nd0nicococo: zero ones vector?16:16
nicococookay, so x = [w;slacks] and min_x 0.5 x'Hx + f'x16:17
n4nd0slacks is empty at the beginning or?16:17
nicococoif f =[zeros(len(w),1); ones(N,1)] then we have sum_i slacks_i16:17
n4nd0ok16:18
n4nd0I understand what you mean :)16:18
nicocococool ;)16:18
n4nd0so this vector x has always the same dimensions16:19
nicococothen H = [C,zeros(N);zeros(N),zeros(N)] right?16:19
nicococox has always dim = len(w) + num_examples16:19
n4nd0agree16:19
nicococowhen you generate a new constraint then you add a line to A and b16:20
n4nd0mmm, ok wait a moment there16:22
n4nd0we have two types of constraints16:22
nicococowhere A = [-psi_i +psi_i(y_argmax) -delta_i(y_argmax), ...]16:22
nicococotwo types?16:22
n4nd0Aw <= a16:22
n4nd0and16:22
n4nd0Bw = b16:22
nicococono, we have Ax <= b16:23
nicococoand thats enough we don't need the equality constraint16:23
n4nd0mmmm16:23
nicococoand we have a lower bound for slacks16:23
n4nd0yes16:23
n4nd0so is it like Ax <= b includes also the equality constraint?16:24
n4nd0or it shouldn't be there in the pdf16:24
nicococowhich equality constraint you mean?16:24
n4nd0in the pdf you wrote16:24
n4nd0nicococo: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/11020840/shogun/so.pdf16:25
nicococooh..  in the pdf was a very general version .. all constraints there are for applications only..16:25
nicococohere: 1. we drop all the constaints i wrote in the pdf16:25
nicococoand 2. we make the unconstraint version constraint again by introducing slacks16:25
nicococohence, we have inequality constraints again16:26
nicococois that clear?16:26
n4nd0I don't understand why to introduce the slacks as in x = [w; slacks]16:27
n4nd0makes that inequality contraints like Ax <= b appear16:27
nicococowe introduce the slacks because otherwise we cannot solve it with the QP solver16:27
n4nd0yes, I understand that16:27
n4nd0but I don't understand why if we have something without contraints16:28
n4nd0why then Ax <= b appears16:28
n4nd0I have clear the min x'Hx + f'x part16:28
n4nd0how we have get there from min w'Cw + sum_i ...16:29
nicococosometimes in some application you may want to introduce some restrictions to your variables in w.. like the w(20) <= 10 or whatever16:29
nicococowas that your question?16:29
n4nd0but those are lb <= w <= ub constraints16:30
nicococo..or how do we get from the unconstraint to the constraint version..16:30
nicococo(ps. what about w(20)-w(19)<=10)16:31
n4nd0ok16:31
n4nd0so what about A and b in Ax <= b16:32
n4nd0you said something about adding rows and cols16:32
nicococow'psi_i - w'psi_yhat >= delta_yi_yhat - slack_i16:32
nicococowell, this is one line in Ax <= b, right?16:38
n4nd0yes16:38
nicococookay, so is everything clear?16:38
n4nd0nicococo: yeah ... kind of :)16:39
nicococoif you have more questions, please ask :)16:39
n4nd0nicococo: I will try to formulate the problem for mosek16:40
n4nd0I think I should be able to do it with this new info you have given to me16:40
n4nd0although I don't know where some of the terms given by init_op, like A, a, B and b are used16:41
nicococothe new constraint would be:  -delta >= w'psi_y_hat - w'psi_i - slack_i16:41
n4nd0and this is a bit dangerous now since there are two different things called A (and the same for b)16:41
nicococoohh.. right. Ax <= a16:42
nicococoin many applications A,a,B,b are empty in the beginning and C=eye(len(w))16:43
n4nd0nicococo: ok, I think I can forget about them for the moment16:44
nicococoand in PrimalMosekSOSVM we don't handle equality constraints Bx = b16:44
n4nd0agree?16:44
nicococoagree16:44
n4nd0I don't have clear one point16:44
n4nd0about Ax <= b16:44
n4nd0what are the training examples that have to be included there?16:45
nicococopsi(x_i,y_i) ?16:46
n4nd0let's put it in another way16:46
n4nd0Ax <= b represents constraints that we use like w'psi_y_Hat - w'psi_i <= -delta + slack_i16:47
n4nd0each i is a training example16:47
n4nd0what are the training examples that we have to include?16:47
n4nd0mmm I don't think I am making it very clear :S16:47
nicococoagree16:47
n4nd0:D16:47
nicococo:)16:47
n4nd0ok16:48
nicococoaah!!!16:48
n4nd0A and b in Ax <=b, do they always have the same size?16:48
nicococoi think i know what you mean16:48
nicococoA is growing one line per iteration and b is growing too16:48
n4nd0ok16:48
n4nd0in the first iteration, the first time we solve the QP, how are they?16:49
nicococoin the first iteration, you first add num_examples constraints therefor A has num_examples lines16:49
nicococothen you solve it16:50
n4nd0how does A and b look like at the beginning?16:50
n4nd0if we have no w initially, how do we get y_hat?16:50
nicococow =zeros16:51
nicococoor rand or something else we get from the pre-solver16:52
n4nd0ok, and we just predict with that16:52
n4nd0ok16:52
nicococoyepp, the first iteration will give us really bad estimates certainly16:52
n4nd0and then, what are the constraints that are added, one per iteration?16:53
nicococoone per example per iteration16:53
n4nd0which example is added? the one with max loss?16:54
nicococofor each example add constraint if it produces more slack than all the constraints added for the current example16:55
n4nd0so in the pdf, Vanilla primal-SO-SVM16:56
n4nd0this is what is done in lines 7-916:57
n4nd0?16:57
nicococoyes, looks cryptic but is actually easy16:58

@sonney2kblackburn, we have to make a decision about static interfaces21:19
puffin444by the way, I got to present at Google Chicago last night.21:19

puffin444blackburn: It was fun. The talks only lasted five minutes so I didn't get to say much21:20
@sonney2know we need to specify the label type21:20
@sonney2kblackburn, question is how do we do it21:20
@sonney2kI mean we have to break the interface I am afraid21:21
blackburnsonney2k: automagically!21:21
@sonney2kblackburn, can we do that?21:21
blackburnsonney2k: why not - just add some function that dispatches: if (-1,+1) then create binary21:21
blackburnelse regression21:22
blackburnorr?21:22
@sonney2kblackburn, I didn't see the beginning21:22
blackburndo we support multiclass at all?21:22
@sonney2kgot disconnected ...21:22
@sonney2kyes21:22
blackburnsonney2k: we can add function there21:22
blackburnthat dispatches21:22
blackburnif {-1,1} then binary21:22
blackburnif {0,1,..} then multiclass21:22
blackburnelse regression21:22
@sonney2kahh ok... I thought we do it more clever21:23
blackburnhow?21:23
blackburnok we can add some factory actually21:23
@sonney2kby checking if the machine needs a certain label type21:23
@sonney2kwe create the label only then21:23
blackburnno that's too complicated I think21:23
@sonney2kwith correct type21:23
blackburnhowever can be done too21:24
blackburnI like both21:24
blackburnpuffin444: so do they liked shogun? :D21:24

puffin444Their office in Chicago has a beautiful view21:27
@sonney2kpuffin444, do you have the slides somewhere?21:27
@sonney2kblackburn, there is one problem21:27
@sonney2kwe have a labels load function21:28
puffin444sonney2k: Yes, I do.21:28
puffin444sonne2k: All four of them :)21:28
blackburnload like load from file?21:28
@sonney2kso we need the label type before21:28
@sonney2kblackburn, yes21:28
@sonney2kpuffin444, care to share?21:28
puffin444sonney2k: sure, Do I put them on the mailinglist or somehow transfer them through irc?21:29
@sonney2kpuffin444, some official post on the mailinglist would be nice - but you can also put them somewhere and link to them21:29
@sonney2kpuffin444, or even blog about it on shogun planet :D21:29
blackburnI actually would like to present shogun somewhere too :D21:30
blackburn(okay I admit it can be an easy way to visit some country for free)21:30
blackburn:D21:30
puffin444sonney2k: I could try blogging about it. How do I get subscription access to shogun planet?21:36
@sonney2kpuffin444, create a blog/rss feed somewhere and tell me the feed url21:39
@sonney2kblackburn, most certainly welcome :D21:39

@sonney2kand get travel money from uni or so21:45
@sonney2kblackburn, my proposal wrt loading labels is21:47
@sonney2kI load regression labels21:47
@sonney2kand then we do the automagic conversion again21:48

blackburnPolarBearAttack: f(x)23:19
@sonney2kthere is an example23:19
@sonney2khave a look23:20
blackburnsonney2k: bins like [0,1] (1,2]23:20
blackburnright?23:20
@sonney2kI think so23:20
@sonney2kblackburn, how many dims do you have?23:20
blackburnsonney2k: depends how many hog cells I have but generally varying from 200 to 90023:20
@sonney2kPolarBearAttack, f(x)=\sum_i \alpha_i y_i K(x_i, x)23:20
@sonney2kblackburn, so you can easily use 100 bins per feature23:21
@sonney2kblackburn, how many examples?23:21
