scholarly journals Exploring the Extreme Learning Machine for Classification of Brain MRIs

Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) technique of brain is the most important aspect of diagnosis of brain diseases. The manual analysis of MR images and identifying the brain diseases is tedious and error prone task for the radiologists and physicians. In this paper 2-Dimensional Discrete Wavelet Transformation (2D DWT) is used for feature extraction and Principal Component Analysis (PCA) is used for feature reduction. The three types of brain diseases i.e. Alzheimer, Glioma and Multiple Sclerosis are considered for this work. The Two Hidden layer Extreme learning Machine (TELM) is used for classification of samples into normal or pathological. The performance of the TELM is compared with basic ELM and the simulation results indicate that TELM outperformed the basic ELM method. Accuracy, Recall, Sensitivity and F-score are considered as the classification performance measures in this paper

This study aims to assess the breast lesions classification in thermographic images using different configuration of an Extreme Learning Machine network as classifier. In this approach, the authors changed the number of neurons in the hidden layer and the type of kernel function to further explore the network in order to find a better solution for the classification problem. Authors also used different tools to perform features extraction to assess both texture and geometry information from the breast lesions. During the study, the authors found that the results changed not only due to the network parameters but also due to the features chosen to represent the thermographic images. A maximum accuracy of 95% was found for the differentiation of breast lesions.

In an online monitoring system for an electrified railway, it is important to classify the catenary equipment successfully. The extreme learning machine (ELM) is an effective image classification algorithm and the genetic algorithm (GA) is a typical optimisation method. In this paper, a coupled genetic algorithm-extreme learning machine (GA-ELM) technique is proposed for the classification of catenary equipment. Firstly, the GA is used to search for optimal features by reducing the initial multi-dimensional features to low-dimensional features. Next, the optimised features are used as the input to the ELM. The ELM algorithm is then used to classify the catenary equipment. In this process, the impacts of the activation function, the number of hidden layer neurons and different models on the performance of the ELM are discussed in turn. Finally, the proposed method is compared with traditional methods in terms of classification accuracy and efficiency. Experimental results show that the number of feature dimensions decreases to 58% of the original number and the computational complexity is greatly decreased. Moreover, the reduced features and the few steps of the ELM improve the classification accuracy and speed. Noticeably, when the performance of the GA-ELM method is compared with that of the ELM method, the classification accuracy rate is 93.33% compared with 85.83% and the time consumption is 2.25 s compared with 8.85 s, respectively. That is to say, the proposed method not only decreases the number of features but also increases the classification accuracy and efficiency. This meets the needs of a real-time online condition monitoring system.

Automated recognition and classification of fishes are useful for studies dealing with counting of fishes for population assessments, discovering association between fishes and ecosystem, and monitoring of the ecosystem. This paper proposes a model which classifies the fishes belonging to the family Labridae in the genus and the species level. Features computed in the spatial and frequency domains are used in this work. All the images are preprocessed before feature extraction. Preprocessing step involves image segmentation for background elimination, de-noising and image enhancement. A combination of color, local binary pattern (LBP), histogram of oriented gradients (HOG), and wavelet features forms the feature vector. An ensemble feature reduction technique is used to reduce the attribute size. Performances of the system using combined as well as reduced feature sets are evaluated using seven popular classifiers. Among the classifiers, wavelet kernel extreme learning machine (ELM) showed higher classification accuracy of 96.65% in genus level and polynomial kernel ELM showed an accuracy of 92.42% in species level with the reduced feature set.

To quickly and effectively identify an axle box bearing fault of high-speed electric multiple units (EMUs), an evolutionary online sequential extreme learning machine (OS-ELM) fault diagnosis method for imbalanced data was proposed. In this scheme, the resampling scale is first determined according to the resampling empirical formulation, the K-means synthetic minority oversampling technique (SMOTE) method is then used for oversampling the minority class samples, a method based on Euclidean distance is applied for undersampling the majority class samples, and the complex data features are extracted from the reconstructed dataset. Second, the reconstructed dataset is input into the diagnosis model. Finally, the artificial bee colony (ABC) algorithm is used to globally optimize the combination of input weights, hidden layer bias, and the number of hidden layer nodes for an OS-ELM, and the diagnosis model is allowed to evolve. The proposed method was tested on the axle box bearing monitoring data of high-speed EMUs, on which the position of the axle box bearings was symmetrical. Numerical testing proved that the method has the characteristics of faster detection and higher classification performance regarding the minority class data compared to other standard and classical algorithms.

The accuracy of the evaluation method is essential to optimize the control system and improve a vehicle’s drivability quality. This study aimed at exploring a more effective drivability evaluation method and a drivability evaluation model was proposed on the basis of principal component analysis and optimization of an extreme learning machine. The drivability evaluation model was built using an extreme learning machine. The input of the model was determined by the principal component analysis method, and the optimal number of neurons in the hidden layer of the drivability evaluation model was obtained by a particle swarm optimization algorithm. The experimental results show that considering the evaluation index coupling factors can improve the prediction accuracy of the evaluation model. The R correlation between the score predicted by the drivability evaluation model proposed in this paper and the actual score reached 0.979, and the predicted pass rate also reached 95%, which indicate the model was more accurate and stable than others. The evaluation model can be extended to fuel economy and handling stability. It also has theoretical guidance and application value in practical problems.

Since real-world data sets usually contain large instances, it is meaningful to develop efficient and effective multiple instance learning (MIL) algorithm. As a learning paradigm, MIL is different from traditional supervised learning that handles the classification of bags comprising unlabeled instances. In this paper, a novel efficient method based on extreme learning machine (ELM) is proposed to address MIL problem. First, the most qualified instance is selected in each bag through a single hidden layer feedforward network (SLFN) whose input and output weights are both initialed randomly, and the single selected instance is used to represent every bag. Second, the modified ELM model is trained by using the selected instances to update the output weights. Experiments on several benchmark data sets and multiple instance regression data sets show that the ELM-MIL achieves good performance; moreover, it runs several times or even hundreds of times faster than other similar MIL algorithms.

The nascent graph representation learning has shown superiority for resolving graph data. Compared to conventional convolutional neural networks, graph-based deep learning has the advantages of illustrating class boundaries and modeling feature relationships. Faced with hyperspectral image (HSI) classification, the priority problem might be how to convert hyperspectral data into irregular domains from regular grids. In this regard, we present a novel method that performs the localized graph convolutional filtering on HSIs based on spectral graph theory. First, we conducted principal component analysis (PCA) preprocessing to create localized hyperspectral data cubes with unsupervised feature reduction. These feature cubes combined with localized adjacent matrices were fed into the popular graph convolution network in a standard supervised learning paradigm. Finally, we succeeded in analyzing diversified land covers by considering local graph structure with graph convolutional filtering. Experiments on real hyperspectral datasets demonstrated that the presented method offers promising classification performance compared with other popular competitors.
