    <para>
      This package provides a library for learning linear classifiers for large
      scale applications. It supports Support Vector Machines (SVM) with L2 and
      L1 loss, logistic regression, multi class classification and also Linear
      Programming Machines (L1-regularized SVMs). Its computational complexity
      scales linearly with the number of training examples making it one of the
      fastest SVM solvers around.
