Hi Charles. That is unrelated to the GSoC mail you responded to, right? I think updating liblinear sound like a good idea, if it doesn't end up being to complicated. Allowing instance weights is certainly something we'd like to have. You should check how far our code diverged, but I think for lib

I would like to propose extending the linearSVC package by replacing the liblinear version with a newer version that 1. allows setting instance weights 2. provides the dual variables /Lagrange multipliers This would facilitate research and development of transductive SVMs and related semi-supervi
