Extreme learning machine based transfer learning algorithms: A survey

Abstract

Extreme learning machine (ELM) has been increasingly popular in the field of transfer learning (TL) due to its simplicity, training speed and ease of use in online sequential learning process. This paper critically examines transfer learning algorithms formulated with ELM technique and provides state of the art knowledge to expedite the learning process ELM based TL algorithms. As this article discusses available ELM based TL algorithm in detail, it provides a holistic overview of current literature, serves as a starting point for new researchers in ELM based TL algorithms and facilitates identification of future research direction in concise manner.
