A toolbox of selected optimization algorithms including Casimir-SVRG (as well as the special cases of Catalyst-SVRG and SVRG) for unstructured tasks such as binary classification, and structured prediction tasks such as object localization or named entity recognition. This is code accompanying the paper "A Smoother Way to Train Structured Prediction Models" in NeurIPS 2018.

The documentation for this toolbox can be found here.
