Machinelearning: Documentation samples for binary classifiers

[sfilipi]

Similar to the sample code for SDCA regression, we need samples for the binary classifiers:
SDCA
AveragedPerceptron
FastTree
LightGBM

There are two things to do, to resolve this issue:

1. Add a sample for each of the trainers in Microsoft.ML.Samples/Trainers.cs
   The samples can look similar to the cookbook example
   Download the adult dataset for the data to use.
   Take a look at the SDCA example, for reference.

1. Add a link to the xml documentation of SDCA
   AveragedPerceptron
   FastTree
   LightGBM
   to reference the new sample methods, like the one in SDCA has.

I'd like to work on this one, but wouldn't want to enter in a collision with someone. Is it possible to be assigned to this one?

[sfilipi]

Thanks @bojanmisic. It doesn't look like we can assign it, but claiming it on the comments might be good enough. Tag me if you have questions.

[wschin]

Maybe add a new label "assigned"? @shauheen, any comment?

[justinormont]

Well, once someone claims it, we can simply remove the help wanted and up-for-grabs tags.

[bojanmisic]

@sfilipi, thanks! I believe the link to the cookbook examples has shifted, since the file has been changed recently. Would you like me to use static or dynamic API?

[sfilipi]

Dynamic is fine; I was going to log another bug for the static examples, after arranging the structure of that project.
Thanks for picking this up.

@bojanmisic checking: are you still planning to work on this?

[bojanmisic]

@sfilipi, yes! I plan to work on that during the weekend. I have a strong will to contribute, just been crushed with work last two weeks. Sorry for the inconvenience, if you think someone can get it earlier, feel free to reassign.

[sfilipi]

@bojanmisic just checking, before putting the Assigned label and removing the other labels. It is yours, take your time. Take a look at PR #136. I am adding a dateset for binary trainers there.Feel free to adopt if it doesn't get merged soon.

[bojanmisic]

Added example for SDCA. @sfilipi, can you take a quick look at #1456 if that is what we want - I'll proceed adding other classifiers.

Can I help on the documentation?

[shmoradims]

@bojanmisic / @rekhakodali could you please help out with some documentation and samples?
I have a table of BinaryClassification trainers that need work in #2522. You can claim StochasticDualCoordinateAscent or SymbolicStochasticGradientDescent and add yourself (removed me) as the owner on the table. You can replicate #2688 for those trainers.

[bojanmisic]

@shmoradims, I'll be glad to contribute. Feel free to add me to the table for 1 or more (you can add me to both above) trainers, and I'll start working on those asap. I don't have edit permissions for the issue.

[jwood803]

@shmoradims @bojanmisic I'll be glad to take a couple of those, as well, if it helps out.

[sfilipi]

Closing, as most samples for binary classifiers are complete, and issue #2522 captures the broader work of trainer samples.
