mlpack v1.0.5 Release Notes

  • 2013-05-01
    • Speedups of cover tree traversers (#235).

    • Addition of rank-approximate nearest neighbors (RANN), found in src/mlpack/methods/rann/.

    • Addition of fast exact max-kernel search (FastMKS), found in src/mlpack/methods/fastmks/.

    • Fix for EM covariance estimation; this should improve GMM training time.

    • More parameters for GMM estimation.

    • Force GMM and GaussianDistribution covariance matrices to be positive definite, so that training converges much more often.

    • Add parameter for the tolerance of the Baum-Welch algorithm for HMM training.

    • Fix for compilation with clang compiler.

    • Fix for k-furthest-neighbor-search.
