+This is a simple (and parallelizable) tuning method for cdec
+which is able to train the weights of very many (sparse) features.
+It was used here:
+ "Joint Feature Selection in Distributed Stochastic
+ Learning for Large-Scale Discriminative Training in
+ SMT"
+(Simianer, Riezler, Dyer; ACL 2012)
+
+
+Building
+--------
+Builds when building cdec, see ../BUILDING .
+To build only parts needed for dtrain do
+```
+ autoreconf -ifv
+ ./configure
+ cd training/dtrain/; make
+```
+
+Running
