# TODO(sibyl-Aix6ihai): add name_scope to appropriate methods.
class SdcaModel(object):
  """Stochastic dual coordinate ascent solver for linear models.

    This class currently only supports a single machine (multi-threaded)
    implementation. We expect the weights and duals to fit in a single machine.

    Loss functions supported:

     * Binary logistic loss
     * Squared loss
     * Hinge loss
     * 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()
    ```
