Optimum Parameters Selection Using ACO<inf>R</inf> Algorithm to Improve the Classification Performance of Weighted Extreme Learning Machine for Hepatitis Disease Dataset

Abstract

Extreme Learning Machine (ELM) is an extension of feed forward Neural Network model with extremely learning capacity and good generalization capabilities. Generally, the classification performance of ELM highly focused on three parameters such as the input weight matrix, the value of bias and the number of hidden neurons presented. ELM randomly chooses the input weights and bias values to minimize the training time. The arbitrary selection of biases and the input weight produce an unforeseen result which causes training error and also produces lesser prediction accuracy. For improving efficiency of ELM training, Ant Colony Optimization with continuous domain algorithm (ACO R ) used to find the optimum input weight and hidden bias values for ELM. With the unequal distribution of classes in imbalanced data sets, ELM algorithms tussle to find good accuracy. ELM algorithm doesn't acquire the mandatory information about the minority class to make an accurate classification. To deal the issues of ELM, in this paper the hybrid algorithms Weighted ELM and Weighted ELM with ACO R are proposed. The main objective of weighted ELM is that the related weight value is computed and assigned for each training sample to increase the classification rate. ACO R method is also integrated with the weighted ELM to find the optimum input weight and bias to maximize the accuracy of classification task. The comparative analysis has been accomplished over Hepatitis dataset. Further, the experimental results clearly revealed that Weighted ELM with ACO R is superior to other proposed methods.
