         Recall that our task is to learn the "goodness of assignment" function for
         use with the Hungarian algorithm.  The dlib tools assume this function
         can be written as:
-            match_score(l,r) == dot(w, PSI(l,r))
+            match_score(l,r) == dot(w, PSI(l,r)) + bias

-        and PSI() is a user supplied feature extractor.
+        bias is a scalar value, and PSI() is a user supplied feature extractor.
 
         This feature_extractor is where we implement PSI().  How you implement this
