            The algorithm defined in the solve_qp_using_smo() function below can be
            derived by using an important theorem from the theory of constrained optimization.
            This theorem tells us that any optimal point of a constrained function must
            satisfy what are called the KKT conditions (also sometimes called just the KT
            conditions, especially in older literature).  A very good book to consult
            regarding this topic is Practical Methods of Optimization (second edition) by
            R. Fletcher.  Below I will try to explain the general idea of how this is
            applied.

            Let e == ones_matrix(alpha.size(),1)

            First, note that the function below solves the following quadratic program.
                Minimize: f(alpha) == 0.5*trans(alpha)*Q*alpha - trans(alpha)*b
                subject to the following constraints:
                    - trans(e)*alpha == C (i.e. the sum of alpha values doesn't change)
                    - min(alpha) >= 0 (i.e. all alpha values are nonnegative)
                Where f is convex.  This means that Q should be positive-semidefinite.

            To get from this problem formulation to the algorithm below we have to
            consider the KKT conditions.  They tell us that any solution to the above
            problem must satisfy the following 5 conditions:
                1. trans(e)*alpha == C
                2. min(alpha) >= 0

                3. Let L(alpha, x, y) == f(alpha) - trans(x)*alpha - y*(trans(e)*alpha - C)
                   Where x is a vector of length alpha.size() and y is a single scalar.
                   Then the derivative of L with respect to alpha must == 0
                   So we get the following as our 3rd condition:
                   f'(alpha) - x - y*e == 0

                4. min(x) >= 0 (i.e. all x values are nonnegative)
                5. pointwise_multiply(x, alpha) == 0
                   (i.e. only one member of each x(i) and alpha(i) pair can be non-zero)

            From 3 we can easily obtain this rule:
                for all i: f'(alpha)(i) - x(i) == y

            If we then consider 4 and 5 we see that we can infer that the following
            must also be the case:
                - if (alpha(i) > 0) then
                    - x(i) == 0
                    - f'(alpha)(i) == y
                - else
                    - x(i) == some nonnegative number
                    - f'(alpha)(i) >= y

            The important thing to take away is the final rule.  It tells us that at the
            optimal solution all elements of the gradient of f have the same value if
            their corresponding alpha is non-zero.  It also tells us that all the other
            gradient values are bigger than y.  We can use this information to help us
            pick which alpha variables to optimize at each iteration.
