Abstract
Support vector machines (SVM) are learning algorithms derived from statistical learning theory. The SVM approach was originally developed for binary classification problems. In this paper SVM architectures for multi-class classification problems are discussed, in particular we consider binary trees of SVMs to solve the multi-class pattern recognition problem. Numerical results for different classifiers on a benchmark data set handwritten digits are presented.
