TL;DR

A least squares version for support vector machine (SVM) classifiers that follows from solving a set of linear equations, instead of quadratic programming for classical SVM's.

Abstract

In this letter we discuss a least squares version for support vector machine (SVM) classifiers. Due to equality type constraints in the formulation, the solution follows from solving a set of linear equations, instead of quadratic programming for classical SVM's. The approach is illustrated on a two-spiral benchmark classification problem.
