/**
 * This module is a custom implementation of the Large Margin
 * Nearest Neighbor classification scheme of Weinberger, Saul, et al. (2009).
 * It contains an implementation of the k-nearest neighbor and LMNN classifier
 * as well as (most importantly) gradient calculation schemes on the LMNN
 * cost function given a sequential data set and a user-choice of alignment
 * algorithm. This enables users to learn parameters of the alignment
 * distance in question using a gradient descent on the LMNN cost function.
 *
 * More information on this approach can be found in the Masters Thesis
 * "Adaptive Affine Sequence Alignment Using Algebraic Dynamic Programming"
