Added things to docs and also moved the structural svm stuff into the ML page.

<description>
This object, when used with the <a href="optimization.html#oca">oca</a> optimizer, is a tool
for solving the optimization problem associated
with a structural support vector machine. A structural SVM is a supervised
machine learning method for learning to predict complex outputs. This is
contrasted with a binary classifier which makes only simple yes/no predictions.
A structural SVM, on the other hand, can learn to predict outputs as complex
as entire parse trees. To do this, it learns a function F(x,y) which measures
how well a particular data sample x matches a label y. When used for prediction,
the best label for a new x is given by the y which maximizes F(x,y).
<p>
If you want to see example code that uses this object then take a look at
the implementation of the
<a href="dlib/svm/svm_multiclass_linear_trainer.h.html">svm_multiclass_linear_trainer</a>
object.
</p>
<br/>
For an introduction to structured support vector machines you should consult
the following paper:
<blockquote>
Predicting Structured Objects with Support Vector Machines by
By Thorsten Joachims, Thomas Hofmann, Yisong Yue, and Chun-nam Yu
</blockquote>
For a more detailed discussion of the particular algorithm implemented by this
object see the following paper:
<blockquote>
T. Joachims, T. Finley, Chun-Nam Yu, Cutting-Plane Training of Structural SVMs,
Machine Learning, 77(1):27-59, 2009.
</blockquote>
Note that this object is essentially a tool for solving the 1-Slack structural
SVM with margin-rescaling. Specifically, see Algorithm 3 in the above referenced
paper.

you have a multi-core CPU and the separation oracle takes a long time to compute.
