Using the -V option (for version) with mlpack commands suppresses the execution of the command, is this a convention in Ubuntu?

islamfaisal: that's not an ubuntu-specific convention; lots of GNU utilities will do that too

Thanks. How do I specify the distance type for the allknn binary?
< islamfaisal>
It is not clear from --help
< naywhayare>
do you mean the metric? i.e. L1, L2, etc.
< naywhayare>
the allknn binary doesn't provide that support
< naywhayare>
but if you mean the file format that the distances are saved to, then you can just specify that using the filename extension (.csv, .bin, .h5, etc)
< naywhayare>
for using different distance metrics, you'd have to write C++
< islamfaisal>
I meant the distance metric
< islamfaisal>
Should I work on it?
< islamfaisal>
I will submit it as a feature request to Trac
< naywhayare>
no, I don't think that custom distance metrics are that commonly used
< naywhayare>
the idea of the binary is to be simple and provide the most common support
< naywhayare>
whereas users needing something more complex can just write C++
< islamfaisal>
hmmm, good point
< naywhayare>
I have to step out... I'll be back in about 15 minutes :)
