Abstract Support vector machines can be posed as quadratic programming problems in various ways. Using the technology of the Lagrangian dual, an unconstrained differentiable convex program problem is proposed as the dual of the quadratic programming, which is a simple reformulation on standard quadratic program of a linear support vector machine. The resulting problem minimizes a differentiable convex piecewise quadratic function in the input space, but not in the feature space. By the characteristic of the piecewise quadratic function and the combination with the speedy line search method, a Conjugate Gradients Support Vector Machine (CGSVM) is proposed to solve the unconstraint program problem quickly. After kernel matrix is factorized by the Cholesky factorization or incomplete Cholesky factorization, nonlinear classification problem with kernel function can also be solved by CGSVM with little increase of the complexity of the algorithms. CGSVM can be used to solve linear classification problems with millions of points and the nonlinear classification problems with three thousand points or more on normal PC. Many numerical experiments and complexity analysis demonstrate that the proposed algorithms are very efficient compared with the similar algorithms such as ASVM and LSVM.
