Extreme learning machine (ELM) is an efficient learning algorithm for single-hidden layer feedforward networks (SLFN). This paper proposes the combination of ELM networks using a regularized committee. Simulations on many real-world regression data sets have demonstrated that this algorithm generally outperforms the original ELM algorithm.

Abstract: Focusing on short-term wind power forecast, a method based on the combination of Genetic Algorithm (GA) and Extreme Learning Machine (ELM) has been proposed. Firstly, the GA was used to prepossess the data and effectively extract the input of model in feature space. Basis on this, the ELM was used to establish the forecast model for short-term wind power. Then, the GA was used to opti...

Extreme learning machine (ELM) is known as a kind of single-hidden layer feedforward network (SLFN), and has obtained considerable attention within the machine learning community and achieved various real-world applications. It has advantages such as good generalization performance, fast learning speed, and low computational cost. However, the ELM might have problems in the classification of im...

A novel classification model, named the quantum-behaved particle swarm optimization (QPSO)-based weighted multiple kernel extreme learning machine (QWMK-ELM), is proposed in this paper. Experimental validation is carried out with two different electronic nose (e-nose) datasets. Being different from the existing multiple kernel extreme learning machine (MK-ELM) algorithms, the combination coeffi...

In this paper, we describe an approximate method for reducing the time and memory complexities of the kernel Extreme Learning Machine variants. We show that, by adopting a Nyström-based kernel ELM matrix approximation, we can define an ELM space exploiting properties of the kernel ELM space that can be subsequently used to apply several optimization schemes proposed in the literature for ELM ne...

Assessing skeletal age is a subjective and tedious examination process. Hence, automated assessment methods have been developed to replace manual evaluation in medical applications. In this study, a new fully automated method based on content-based image retrieval and using extreme learning machines (ELM) is designed and adapted to assess skeletal maturity. The main novelty of this approach is ...

Breast tumor detection in digital mammography is one of the most important methods of breast cancer prevention. Computer-aided diagnosis (CAD) based on extreme learning machine (ELM) has significant meanings for breast tumor detection as it has good generalization abilities and a high learning efficiency. In this paper, a breast tumor detection algorithm in digital mammography based on ELM is p...
