Adds noise to weights after training (output perturbation). - 2. Projects weights to R, the radius of the hypothesis space, + 2. Projects weights to R, the radius of the hypothesis space, after each batch. This value is configurable by the user. 3. Limits learning rate 4. Use a strongly convex loss function (see compile)
