            REQUIREMENTS ON vector_type

                  vectors or it is a sparse vector type as defined in dlib/svm/sparse_vector_abstract.h.  

            WHAT THIS OBJECT REPRESENTS
                This object is a tool for learning to solve a graph labeling problem based
                on a training dataset of example labeled graphs.  The training procedure 
                produces a graph_labeler object which can be used to predict the labelings
                of new graphs.

                Note that this is just a convenience wrapper around the 
                structural_svm_graph_labeling_problem to make it look 
                similar to all the other trainers in dlib.
