+
+ This is an example illustrating the use of the dlib C++ library's
+ implementation of the pegasos algorithm for online training of support
+ vector machines.
+
+ This example creates a simple binary classification problem and shows
+ you how to train a support vector machine on that data.
+
+ The data used in this example will be 2 dimensional data and will
+ come from a distribution where points with a distance less than 10
+ from the origin are labeled +1 and all other points are labeled
+ as -1.

+ // learning rate the trainer object must report for the batch_cached() function to consider training
+ // complete. So smaller values of this parameter cause training to take longer but may result
