Hinge cost function

This cost function is adopted by SVM, where the goal is to maximize the distance between the separation boundaries (where the support vector lies). It's analytic expression is:

Contrary to the other examples, this cost function is not optimized using classic stochastic gradient descent methods, because it's not differentiable at all points where:

For this reason, SVM algorithms are optimized using quadratic programming techniques.
