Description:

LIBOL is an open-source library for large-scale online classification, which consists of a large family of efficient and scalable state-of-the-art online learning algorithms for large-scale online classification tasks. We have offered easy-to-use command-line tools and examples for users and developers. We also have made documents available for both beginners and advanced users. LIBOL is not only a machine learning tool, but also a comprehensive experimental platform for conducting online learning research.

In general, the existing online learning algorithms for linear classication tasks can be grouped into two major categories: (i) first order learning (Rosenblatt, 1958; Crammer et al., 2006), and (ii) second order learning (Dredze et al., 2008; Wang et al., 2012; Yang et al., 2009).

Example online learning algorithms in the first order learning category implemented in this library include: • Perceptron: the classical online learning algorithm (Rosenblatt, 1958);

• ALMA: A New ApproximateMaximal Margin Classification Algorithm (Gentile, 2001);

• ROMMA: the relaxed online maxiumu margin algorithms (Li and Long, 2002);

• OGD: the Online Gradient Descent (OGD) algorithms (Zinkevich, 2003);

• PA: Passive Aggressive (PA) algorithms (Crammer et al., 2006), one of state-of-the-art first order online learning algorithms;

Example algorithms in the second order online learning category implemented in this library include the following: • SOP: the Second Order Perceptron (SOP) algorithm (Cesa-Bianchi et al., 2005);

• CW: the Confidence-Weighted (CW) learning algorithm (Dredze et al., 2008);

• IELLIP: online learning algorithms by improved ellipsoid method (Yang et al., 2009);

• AROW: the Adaptive Regularization of Weight Vectors (Crammer et al., 2009);

• NAROW: New variant of Adaptive Regularization (Orabona and Crammer, 2010);

• NHERD: the Normal Herding method via Gaussian Herding (Crammer and Lee, 2010)

• SCW: the recently proposed Soft ConfidenceWeighted algorithms (Wang et al., 2012).

LIBOL is still being improved by improvements from practical users and new research results.
