Sep 20, 2020 at 18:15 comment added Javier TG Ah sorry, in your first comment I read $X^T\alpha$ instead of $\alpha^TX$. If you do $\alpha^TX$ then we obtain $w^T$, as you have just correctly said ($w^T=(X^T\alpha)^T$). But of course, it would be the same $w$, just transposed.
Sep 20, 2020 at 18:11 comment added cIckalakba With the above example, if I use $w=\alpha^T X$ I would get an answer with a different dimension. Mathematically $(\alpha^T X) = (X^T \alpha)^T$ resulting essentially different $w$, how could both of them be valid conversions from $\sum^N_{i=1}\alpha_i x_i$, What did I miss?
Sep 20, 2020 at 18:03 comment added Javier TG I edited the answer with a simple example so you can ckeck it

Sep 20, 2020 at 17:53 comment added Javier TG Yes, it is equivalent. If you want, you can try to do a simple example by hand and check it.
Sep 20, 2020 at 17:51 comment added cIckalakba Is it valid that $$w=\alpha^T X$$ can also be formulated as $$w = \sum ^N _{i=1} \alpha_i x_i$$? In this case the resulting dimension of w would be different? I am a bit confused about this..
