> I am trying to use the MixedGradient in OnlineLogisticRegression algorithm.
> But I will get an NullPointerException randomly if I set the alpha larger
> than 0.
> I checked the code and found that in the RankingGradient used by
> MixedGradient, it assume that the target category should be only 2, rather
> than multiple. And the rank gradient should only be used once the Gradient
> object knew both the positive and negative targets. I created a simple patch
> to make it workable, but I am not really understand the MixedGradient method
> deeply, please check the patch carefully to see if it really works correctly.
