How does SVM behave in multi-class classification scenarios?

Updated May 17, 2026

Short answer

SVM handles multi-class problems using One-vs-One or One-vs-Rest strategies.

Deep explanation

SVM is inherently binary. Multi-class is achieved by training multiple classifiers. One-vs-Rest builds one classifier per class; One-vs-One builds classifiers for each pair.
