Extreme learning machine (ELM), a relatively novel machine learning algorithm for single hidden layer feed-forward neural networks (SLFNs), has been shown competitive performance in simple structure and superior training speed. To improve the effectiveness of ELM for dealing with noisy datasets, a deep structure of ELM, short for DS-ELM, is proposed in this paper. DS-ELM contains three level networks (actually contains three nets ): the first level network is trained by auto-associative neural network (AANN) aim to filter out noise as well as reduce dimension when necessary; the second level network is another AANN net aim to fix the input weights and bias of ELM; and the last level network is ELM. Experiments on four noisy datasets are carried out to examine the new proposed DS-ELM algorithm. And the results show that DS-ELM has higher performance than ELM when dealing with noisy data.

Hidden Layer

An Extreme Learning Machine (ELM) randomly chooses hidden neurons and analytically determines the output weights (Huang, et al., 2005, 2006, 2008). With the ELM algorithm, only the connection weights between hidden layer and output layer are adjusted. The ELM algorithm tends to generalize better at a very fast learning speed: it can learn thousands of times faster than conventionally popular learning algorithms (Huang, et al., 2006). Artificial Neural Networks (ANNs) have been widely used as powerful information processing models and adopted in applications such as bankruptcy prediction, predicting costs, forecasting revenue, forecasting share prices and exchange rates, processing documents, and many more. Higher Order Neural Networks (HONNs) are ANNs in which the net input to a computational neuron is a weighted sum of products of its inputs. Real life data are not usually perfect. They contain wrong, incomplete, or vague data. Hence, it is usual to find missing data in many information sources used. Missing data is a common problem in statistical analysis (Little & Rubin, 1987). This chapter uses the Extreme Learning Machine (ELM) algorithm for HONN models and applies it in several significant business cases, which involve missing datasets. The experimental results demonstrate that HONN models with the ELM algorithm offer significant advantages over standard HONN models, such as faster training, as well as improved generalization abilities.

An improved classification approach is proposed to solve the hot research problem of some complex multiclassification samples based on extreme learning machine (ELM). ELM was proposed based on the single-hidden layer feed-forward neural network (SLFNN). ELM is characterized by the easier parameter selection rules, the faster converge speed, the less human intervention, and so on. In order to further improve the classification precision of ELM, an improved generation method of the network structure of ELM is developed by dynamically adjusting the number of hidden nodes. The number change of the hidden nodes can serve as the computational updated step length of the ELM algorithm. In this paper, the improved algorithm can be called the variable step incremental extreme learning machine (VSI-ELM). In order to verify the effect of the hidden layer nodes on the performance of ELM, an open-source machine learning database (University of California, Irvine (UCI)) is provided by the performance test data sets. The regression and classification experiments are used to study the performance of the VSI-ELM model, respectively. The experimental results show that the VSI-ELM algorithm is valid. The classification of different degrees of broken wires is now still a problem in the nondestructive testing of hoisting wire rope. The magnetic flux leakage (MFL) method of wire rope is an efficient nondestructive method which plays an important role in safety evaluation. Identifying the proposed VSI-ELM model is effective and reliable for actually applying data, and it is used to identify the classification problem of different types of samples from MFL signals. The final experimental results show that the VSI-ELM algorithm is of faster classification speed and higher classification accuracy of different broken wires.

An extreme learning machine (ELM) is an innovative algorithm for the single hidden layer feed-forward neural networks and, essentially, only exists to find the optimal output weight so as to minimize output error based on the least squares regression from the hidden layer to the output layer. With a focus on the output weight, we introduce the orthogonal constraint into the output weight matrix, and propose a novel orthogonal extreme learning machine (NOELM) based on the idea of optimization column by column whose main characteristic is that the optimization of complex output weight matrix is decomposed into optimizing the single column vector of the matrix. The complex orthogonal procrustes problem is transformed into simple least squares regression with an orthogonal constraint, which can preserve more information from ELM feature space to output subspace, these make NOELM more regression analysis and discrimination ability. Experiments show that NOELM has better performance in training time, testing time and accuracy than ELM and OELM.

Hyperspectral image (HSI) consists of hundreds of narrow spectral band components with rich spectral and spatial information. Extreme Learning Machine (ELM) has been widely used for HSI analysis. However, the classical ELM is difficult to use for sparse feature leaning due to its randomly generated hidden layer. In this paper, we propose a novel unsupervised sparse feature learning approach, called Evolutionary Multiobjective-based ELM (EMO-ELM), and apply it to HSI feature extraction. Specifically, we represent the task of constructing the ELM Autoencoder (ELM-AE) as a multiobjective optimization problem that takes the sparsity of hidden layer outputs and the reconstruction error as two conflicting objectives. Then, we adopt an Evolutionary Multiobjective Optimization (EMO) method to solve the two objectives, simultaneously. To find the best solution from the Pareto solution set and construct the best trade-off feature extractor, a curvature-based method is proposed to focus on the knee area of the Pareto solutions. Benefited from the EMO, the proposed EMO-ELM is less prone to fall into a local minimum and has fewer trainable parameters than gradient-based AEs. Experiments on two real HSIs demonstrate that the features learned by EMO-ELM not only preserve better sparsity but also achieve superior separability than many existing feature learning methods.

Extreme learning machine (ELM) is an efficient and practical learning algorithm used for training single hidden layer feed-forward neural networks (SLFNs). ELM can provide good generalization performance at extremely fast learning speed. However, ELM suffers from instability and over-fitting, especially on relatively large datasets. Based on probabilistic SLFNs, an approach of fusion of extreme learning machine (F-ELM) with fuzzy integral is proposed in this paper. The proposed algorithm consists of three stages. Firstly, the bootstrap technique is employed to generate several subsets of original dataset. Secondly, probabilistic SLFNs are trained with ELM algorithm on each subset. Finally, the trained probabilistic SLFNs are fused with fuzzy integral. The experimental results show that the proposed approach can alleviate to some extent the problems mentioned above, and can increase the prediction accuracy.

One-class classification problem has been investigated thoroughly for past decades. Among one of the most effective neural network approaches for one-class classification, autoencoder has been successfully applied for many applications. However, this classifier relies on traditional learning algorithms such as backpropagation to train the network, which is quite time-consuming. To tackle the slow learning speed in autoencoder neural network, we propose a simple and efficient one-class classifier based on extreme learning machine (ELM). The essence of ELM is that the hidden layer need not be tuned and the output weights can be analytically determined, which leads to much faster learning speed. The experimental evaluation conducted on several real-world benchmarks shows that the ELM based one-class classifier can learn hundreds of times faster than autoencoder and it is competitive over a variety of one-class classification methods.

In order to prevent the overfitting and improve the generalization performance of Extreme Learning Machine (ELM), a new regularization method, Biased DropConnect, and a new regularized ELM using the Biased DropConnect and Biased Dropout (BD-ELM) are both proposed in this paper. Like the Biased Dropout to hidden nodes, the Biased DropConnect can utilize the difference of connection weights to keep more information of network after dropping. The regular Dropout and DropConnect set the connection weights and output of the hidden layer to 0 with a single fixed probability. But the Biased DropConnect and Biased Dropout divide the connection weights and hidden nodes into high and low groups by threshold, and set different groups to 0 with different probabilities. Connection weights with high value and hidden nodes with a high-activated value, which make more contribution to network performance, will be kept by a lower drop probability, while the weights and hidden nodes with a low value will be given a higher drop probability to keep the drop probability of the whole network to a fixed constant. Using Biased DropConnect and Biased Dropout regularization, in BD-ELM, the sparsity of parameters is enhanced and the structural complexity is reduced. Experiments on various benchmark datasets show that Biased DropConnect and Biased Dropout can effectively address the overfitting, and BD-ELM can provide higher classification accuracy than ELM, R-ELM, and Drop-ELM.
