+### Training Algorithm Details
+The Stochastic Gradient Descent (SGD) is one of the popular stochastic
+optimization procedures that can be integrated into several machine learning
+tasks to achieve state-of-the-art performance. This trainer implements the
+Hogwild Stochastic Gradient Descent for binary classification that supports
+multi-threading without any locking. If the associated optimization problem is
+sparse, Hogwild Stochastic Gradient Descent achieves a nearly optimal rate of
+convergence. For more details about Hogwild Stochastic Gradient Descent can be
+found [here](http://arxiv.org/pdf/1106.5730v2.pdf).
