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.
