/** 
 <!-- globalinfo-start -->
 * Multiple-Instance Nearest Neighbour with Distribution learner.<br/>
 * <br/>
 * It uses gradient descent to find the weight for each dimension of each exeamplar from the starting point of 1.0. In order to avoid overfitting, it uses mean-square function (i.e. the Euclidean distance) to search for the weights.<br/>
 *  It then uses the weights to cleanse the training data. After that it searches for the weights again from the starting points of the weights searched before.<br/>
 *  Finally it uses the most updated weights to cleanse the test exemplar and then finds the nearest neighbour of the test exemplar using partly-weighted Kullback distance. But the variances in the Kullback distance are the ones before cleansing.<br/>
