About: Support Vectors Machine library in .net with CUDA support. Library includes GPU SVM solver for kernels linear,RBF,Chi-Square and Exp Chi-Square which use NVIDIA CUDA technology. It allows for classification of feature rich sparse datasets through utilization of sparse matrix formats CSR, Ellpack-R or Sliced EllR-T

Initial Announcement on mloss.org.

About: MyMediaLite is a lightweight, multi-purpose library of recommender system algorithms.

Important changes:

• new rating predictor GSVD++ (contributed by Marcelo Manzato)
• new recommenders ExternalRatingPredictor and ExternalItemRecommender to evaluate external tools with the MyMediaLite evaluation framework
• incremental update support for item recommendation UserKNN and ItemKNN (based on a pull request by João Vinagre)
• --cross-validation support for the rating_based_ranking tool (as requested by Pieter-Jan Verbrugen)
• removed the group recommendation code
• cleaner item recommendation evaluation, with a bug fix in the cross-validation code and a complete rewrite of online evaluation
• removed unused matrix and vector math, faster and simplified matrix code

About: Generalised Stirling Numbers for Pitman-Yor Processes: this library provides ways of computing generalised 2nd-order Stirling numbers for Pitman-Yor and Dirichlet processes. Included is a tester and parameter optimiser. This accompanies Buntine and Hutter's article: http://arxiv.org/abs/1007.0296

Bug fix for samplea() using getval(). Change to samplea() interface allowing mixed dimensions.
