This example program shows you how to create your own custom binary classification
trainer object and use it with the multiclass classification tools in the dlib C++
library. This example assumes you have already become familiar with the concepts
introduced in the multiclass_classification_ex.cpp example program.
In this example we will create a very simple trainer object that takes a binary
classification problem and produces a decision rule which says a test point has the
same class as whichever centroid it is closest to.
The multiclass training dataset will consist of four classes. Each class will be a blob
of points in one of the quadrants of the cartesian plane. For fun, we will use
std::string labels and therefore the labels of these classes will be the following:
"upper_left",
"upper_right",
"lower_left",
"lower_right"
