Martin Lambertsen 90b8d288cb Fix compilation errors with clang 19 
The new compiler version seems to perform more exhaustive checks on
templates, even if they are not initiated. As the code was malformed
also before, it is likely that it is dead code. However, this commit is
mainly to ensure users using clang 19 can include the header without
compilation error.

Note that this commit does not guarantee that currently other code might
not compile with clang 19, it just fixes some code which was used
transitevily and caused problems.

  • Added mlpack_preprocess_describe program, which can be used to print statistics on a given dataset (#742).

mlpack 2.0.3

2016-07-21

  • Added multiprobe LSH (#691). The parameter 'T' to LSHSearch::Search() can now be used to control the number of extra bins that are probed, as can the -T (--num_probes) option to mlpack_lsh.

  • Added the Hilbert R tree to src/mlpack/core/tree/rectangle_tree/ (#664). It can be used as the typedef HilbertRTree, and it is now an option in the mlpack_knn, mlpack_kfn, mlpack_range_search, and mlpack_krann command-line programs.

  • Renamed mlpack_allknn, mlpack_allkfn, and mlpack_allkrann to mlpack_knn, mlpack_kfn, and mlpack_krann. The mlpack_allknn, mlpack_allkfn, and mlpack_allkrann programs will remain as copies until mlpack 3.0.0.

  • Add --random_initialization option to mlpack_hmm_train, for use when no labels are provided.

  • Add --kill_empty_clusters option to mlpack_kmeans and KillEmptyClusters policy for the KMeans class (#595, #596).

  • CMake fix for projects using mlpack's CMake configuration from elsewhere (#512).

mlpack 2.0.0

2015-12-24

  • Removed overclustering support from k-means because it is not well-tested, may be buggy, and is (I think) unused. If this was support you were using, open a bug or get in touch with us; it would not be hard for us to reimplement it.

  • Refactored KMeans to allow different types of Lloyd iterations.

  • Added implementations of k-means: Elkan's algorithm, Hamerly's algorithm, Pelleg-Moore's algorithm, and the DTNN (dual-tree nearest neighbor) algorithm.

  • Significant acceleration of LRSDP via the use of accu(a % b) instead of trace(a * b).

  • Added MatrixCompletion class (matrix_completion), which performs nuclear norm minimization to fill unknown values of an input matrix.

  • No more dependence on Boost.Random; now we use C++11 STL random support.

  • Add softmax regression, contributed by Siddharth Agrawal and QiaoAn Chen.

  • Changed NeighborSearch, RangeSearch, FastMKS, LSH, and RASearch API; these classes now take the query sets in the Search() method, instead of in the constructor.

  • Use OpenMP, if available. For now OpenMP support is only available in the DET training code.

  • Add support for predicting new test point values to LARS and the command-line lars program.

  • Add serialization support for Perceptron and LogisticRegression.

  • Refactor LSH to allow loading and saving of models.

  • ToString() is removed entirely (#487).

  • Add --input_model_file and --output_model_file options to appropriate machine learning algorithms.

  • Rename all executables to start with an "mlpack" prefix (#229).

  • Fixes for numerous intermittent test failures.

  • math::RandomSeed() now sets the random seed for recent (>=3.930) Armadillo versions.
