Unsupervised and semi-supervised extreme learning machine with wavelet kernel for high dimensional data

Abstract

Extreme learning machine (ELM) not only is an effective classifier in supervised learning, but also can be applied on unsupervised learning and semi-supervised learning. The model structure of unsupervised extreme learning machine (US-ELM) and semi-supervised extreme learning machine (SS-ELM) are same as ELM, the difference between them is the cost function. We introduce kernel function to US-ELM and propose unsupervised extreme learning machine with kernel (US-KELM). And SS-KELM has been proposed. Wavelet analysis has the characteristics of multivariate interpolation and sparse change, and Wavelet kernel functions have been widely used in support vector machine. Therefore, to realize a combination of the wavelet kernel function, US-ELM, and SS-ELM, unsupervised extreme learning machine with wavelet kernel function (US-WKELM) and semi-supervised extreme learning machine with wavelet kernel function (SS-WKELM) are proposed in this paper. The experimental results show the feasibility and validity of US-WKELM and SS-WKELM in clustering and classification.
