Multi-class Classifier

While some classification algorithms naturally permit the use of more than two classes, some algorithms, such as Support Vector Machines (SVM), are by nature solving a two-class problem only. These two-class (or binary) classifiers can be turned into multi-class classifiers by using different strategies, such as One-Against-Rest or One-Against-One.

Intel DAAL implements a Multi-Class Classifier using the One-Against-One strategy.

Multi-class classifiers, such as SVM, are based on two-class classifiers, which are integral components of the models trained with the corresponding multi-class classifier algorithms.
