One-Class Classification with Extreme Learning Machine

الملخص EN

One-class classification problem has been investigated thoroughly for past decades.

Among one of the most effective neural network approaches for one-class classification, autoencoder has been successfully applied for many applications.

However, this classifier relies on traditional learning algorithms such as backpropagation to train the network, which is quite time-consuming.

To tackle the slow learning speed in autoencoder neural network, we propose a simple and efficient one-class classifier based on extreme learning machine (ELM).

The essence of ELM is that the hidden layer need not be tuned and the output weights can be analytically determined, which leads to much faster learning speed.

The experimental evaluation conducted on several real-world benchmarks shows that the ELM based one-class classifier can learn hundreds of times faster than autoencoder and it is competitive over a variety of one-class classification methods.
