This is an example illustrating the use of the graph_labeler and
structural_graph_labeling_trainer objects.
Suppose you have a bunch of objects and you need to label each of them as true or
false. Suppose further that knowing the labels of some of these objects tells you
something about the likely label of the others. This is common in a number of domains.
For example, in image segmentation problems you need to label each pixel, and knowing
the labels of neighboring pixels gives you information about the likely label since
neighboring pixels will often have the same label.
We can generalize this problem by saying that we have a graph and our task is to label
each node in the graph as true or false. Additionally, the edges in the graph connect
nodes which are likely to share the same label. In this example program, each node
will have a feature vector which contains information which helps tell if the node
should be labeled as true or false. The edges also contain feature vectors which give
information indicating how strong the edge's labeling consistency constraint should be.
This is useful since some nodes will have uninformative feature vectors and the only
way to tell how they should be labeled is by looking at their neighbor's labels.
Therefore, this program will show you how to learn two things using machine learning.
The first is a linear classifier which operates on each node and predicts if it should
be labeled as true or false. The second thing is a linear function of the edge
vectors. This function outputs a penalty for giving two nodes connected by an edge
differing labels. The graph_labeler object puts these two things together and uses
them to compute a labeling which takes both into account. In what follows, we will use
a structural SVM method to find the parameters of these linear functions which minimize
the number of mistakes made by a graph_labeler.
Finally, you might also consider reading the book Structured Prediction and Learning in
Computer Vision by Sebastian Nowozin and Christoph H. Lampert since it contains a good
introduction to machine learning methods such as the algorithm implemented by the
structural_graph_labeling_trainer.

This function makes 3 graphs we will use for training. All of them
will contain 4 nodes and have the structure shown below:
(0)-----(1)
| |
| |
| |
(3)-----(2)
In this example, each node has a 2-D vector. The first element of this vector
is 1 when the node should have a label of false while the second element has
a value of 1 when the node should have a label of true. Additionally, the
edge vectors will contain a value of 1 when the nodes connected by the edge
should share the same label and a value of 0 otherwise.
We want to see that the machine learning method is able to figure out how
these features relate to the labels. If it is successful it will create a
graph_labeler which can predict the correct labels for these and other
similarly constructed graphs.
Finally, note that these tools require all values in the edge vectors to be >= 0.
However, the node vectors may contain both positive and negative values.
