- QUOTE: OVA and AVA are so simple that many people invented them independently. It’s hard to write papers about them. So there’s a whole cottage industry in fancy, sophisticated methods for multiclass classification. To the best of my knowledge, choosing properly tuned regularization classifiers (RLSC, SVM) as your underlying binary classifiers and using one-vs-all (OVA) or all-vs-all (AVA) works as well as anything else you can do. If you actually have to solve a multiclass problem, I strongly urge you to simply use OVA or AVA, and not worry about anything else. The choice between OVA and AVA is largely computational.
