-Description: TBD
+Description: The GenSVM classifier is a generalized multiclass support vector
+ machine (SVM). This classifier aims to find decision boundaries that
+ separate the classes with as wide a margin as possible. In GenSVM, the
+ loss function is very flexible in the way that misclassifications are
+ penalized. This allows the user to tune the classifier to the dataset
+ at hand and potentially obtain higher classification accuracy than
+ alternative multiclass SVMs. Moreover, this flexibility means that
+ GenSVM has a number of other multiclass SVMs as special cases. One of
+ the other advantages of GenSVM is that it is trained in the primal
+ space, allowing the use of warm starts during optimization. This
+ means that for common tasks such as cross validation or repeated model
+ fitting, GenSVM can be trained very quickly.
