    Hi Ema,
    if you take a look at the binary2multiclass meta operator, there's a parameter to specify the method. You might choose between one vs all or one vs one (pairwise). Additionally there are some more complex, from information theory inspired methods.

    If you use the LibSVM, it internally uses one vs all, as far as I know.

    Hi Ema,
    although I'm not familiar with the internals of the LibSVM, I think this is exactly what it is doing.
