Online Regularized and Kernelized Extreme Learning Machines with Forgetting Mechanism

الملخص EN

To apply the single hidden-layer feedforward neural networks (SLFN) to identify time-varying system, online regularized extreme learning machine (ELM) with forgetting mechanism (FORELM) and online kernelized ELM with forgetting mechanism (FOKELM) are presented in this paper.

The FORELM updates the output weights of SLFN recursively by using Sherman-Morrison formula, and it combines advantages of online sequential ELM with forgetting mechanism (FOS-ELM) and regularized online sequential ELM (ReOS-ELM); that is, it can capture the latest properties of identified system by studying a certain number of the newest samples and also can avoid issue of ill-conditioned matrix inversion by regularization.

The FOKELM tackles the problem of matrix expansion of kernel based incremental ELM (KB-IELM) by deleting the oldest sample according to the block matrix inverse formula when samples occur continually.

The experimental results show that the proposed FORELM and FOKELM have better stability than FOS-ELM and have higher accuracy than ReOS-ELM in nonstationary environments; moreover, FORELM and FOKELM have time efficiencies superiority over dynamic regression extreme learning machine (DR-ELM) under certain conditions.
