Loss functions supported:
* Binary logistic loss
* Squared loss
* Hinge loss

This class defines an optimizer API to train a linear model.
### Usage
```python
# Create a solver with the desired parameters.
lr = tf.contrib.linear_optimizer.SdcaModel(examples, variables, options)
min_op = lr.minimize()
opt_op = lr.update_weights(min_op)
predictions = lr.predictions(examples)
# Primal loss + L1 loss + L2 loss.
regularized_loss = lr.regularized_loss(examples)
# Primal loss only
unregularized_loss = lr.unregularized_loss(examples)
examples: {
sparse_features: list of SparseFeatureColumn.
dense_features: list of dense tensors of type float32.
example_labels: a tensor of type float32 and shape [Num examples]
example_weights: a tensor of type float32 and shape [Num examples]
example_ids: a tensor of type string and shape [Num examples]
}
variables: {
sparse_features_weights: list of tensors of shape [vocab size]
dense_features_weights: list of tensors of shape [dense_feature_dimension]
}
options: {
symmetric_l1_regularization: 0.0
symmetric_l2_regularization: 1.0
loss_type: "logistic_loss"
num_loss_partitions: 1 (Optional, with default value of 1. Number of
partitions of the global loss function, 1 means single machine solver,
and >1 when we have more than one optimizer working concurrently.)
num_table_shards: 1 (Optional, with default value of 1. Number of shards
of the internal state table, typically set to match the number of
parameter servers for large data sets.
}
```
In the training program you will just have to run the returned Op from
minimize().
```python
# Execute opt_op and train for num_steps.
for _ in range(num_steps):
opt_op.run()
# You can also check for convergence by calling
lr.approximate_duality_gap()
```

loss_type: "logistic_loss"
num_loss_partitions: 1 (Optional, with default value of 1. Number of
partitions of the global loss function, 1 means single machine solver,

num_table_shards: 1 (Optional, with default value of 1. Number of shards
of the internal state table, typically set to match the number of
parameter servers for large data sets.

minimize().

opt_op = lr.update_weights(min_op)

example_ids: a tensor of type string and shape [Num examples]
}
variables: {

}
options: {
symmetric_l1_regularization: 0.0
symmetric_l2_regularization: 1.0
loss_type: "logistic_loss"
num_loss_partitions: 1 (Optional, with default value of 1. Number of
partitions of the global loss function, 1 means single machine solver,
and >1 when we have more than one optimizer working concurrently.)
num_table_shards: 1 (Optional, with default value of 1. Number of shards
of the internal state table, typically set to match the number of
parameter servers for large data sets.
}
```
In the training program you will just have to run the returned Op from
minimize().
```python
# Execute opt_op and train for num_steps.

# You can also check for convergence by calling
lr.approximate_duality_gap()

* Smooth hinge loss
This class defines an optimizer API to train a linear model.
### Usage
```python
# Create a solver with the desired parameters.
lr = tf.contrib.linear_optimizer.SdcaModel(examples, variables, options)
min_op = lr.minimize()
opt_op = lr.update_weights(min_op)
predictions = lr.predictions(examples)
# Primal loss + L1 loss + L2 loss.
regularized_loss = lr.regularized_loss(examples)
# Primal loss only
unregularized_loss = lr.unregularized_loss(examples)
examples: {
sparse_features: list of SparseFeatureColumn.
dense_features: list of dense tensors of type float32.
example_labels: a tensor of type float32 and shape [Num examples]
example_weights: a tensor of type float32 and shape [Num examples]
example_ids: a tensor of type string and shape [Num examples]
}
variables: {
sparse_features_weights: list of tensors of shape [vocab size]
dense_features_weights: list of tensors of shape [dense_feature_dimension]
}
options: {
symmetric_l1_regularization: 0.0
symmetric_l2_regularization: 1.0
loss_type: "logistic_loss"
num_loss_partitions: 1 (Optional, with default value of 1. Number of
partitions of the global loss function, 1 means single machine solver,
and >1 when we have more than one optimizer working concurrently.)
num_table_shards: 1 (Optional, with default value of 1. Number of shards
of the internal state table, typically set to match the number of
parameter servers for large data sets.
}
```
In the training program you will just have to run the returned Op from
minimize().
```python
# Execute opt_op and train for num_steps.
for _ in range(num_steps):
opt_op.run()
# You can also check for convergence by calling
lr.approximate_duality_gap()
```
