Hi Weichen,
Traditionally svm are solved using quadratic programming solvers and most
likely that's why this idea is not so popular but since in mllib we are
using smooth methods to optimize linear svm, the idea of smoothing svm loss
become relevant.
The paper also mentions kernel svm using the
Hi Deb,
Which library or paper do you find to use this loss function in SVM ?
But I prefer the implementation in LIBLINEAR which use coordinate descent
optimizer.
Thanks.

Hello Deb,
To optimize non-smooth function on LBFGS really should be considered carefully.
Is there any literature that proves changing max to soft-max can behave well?
I’m more than happy to see some benchmarks if you can have.
