Image X-Ray Classification for COVID-19 Detection Using GCLM-ELM

In this paper, we present a robust semi-blind video watermarking scheme in lifting wavelet transform (LWT) domain using Extreme Learning Machine (ELM). In this scheme, first the static video summary is generated using extraction of color features from video frames. Second, the frames comprised of video summary are watermarked in LWT domain. To develop a robust and real time watermarking scheme, a fast Single hidden Layer Feedforward Neural Network (SLFN) known as ELM is used for watermark embedding and extraction. To evaluate the performance of the present scheme, several signal processing attacks are applied to each watermarked frame. Experimental evidence shows that the proposed scheme is robust against selected attacks. Due to fastprocessing of frames, the proposed scheme is also found to be suitable for real time watermarking of video.

The main objective of this works is to study and improve the performances of the Single hidden Layer Feedforward Neural network (SLFN) for the application of Remaining Useful Life (RUL) prediction of aircraft engines. The most common problems in SLFNs based old training algorithms such as backpropagation are time consuming, over-fitting and the appropriate network architecture identification. In this paper a new incremental constructive learning algorithm based on Extreme Learning Machine algorithm is proposed for founding the appropriate architecture of a neural network under less computational costs. The aim of the proposed training approach is to study its maximum capabilities during RUL prediction by reducing over-fitting and human intervention. The performances of the proposed approach which are evaluated on C-MAPPS dataset and compared with its original variant from the literature. Experimental results proved that the new algorithm outperforms the old one in many metrics evaluations.

The Extreme Learning Machine (ELM) is a fast and straightforward learning algorithm designed for single hidden layer feed-forward neural networks (SLFNs). The ELM randomly assigns input weights and calculates the output weights analytically using the Moore-Penrose generalized inverse (MP) (also called Pseudo inverse). However, the MP is not preferable for ill-posed systems as it is sensitive to perturbation and may produce inaccurate solutions. Furthermore, it is computationally expensive as it involves matrix inversion. Regularized ELM (RELM) was proposed to address the limitations of the MP. In RELM, the regularization parameter is the primary factor that controls the classifier's performance. Though the RELM is stable and produces accurate results, finding a n a ppropriate regularization parameter value is tedious and increases the computation. This work proposes a variant of ELM named LSQR-ELM algorithm, which balances the ELM and RELM by maintaining stability and accuracy and avoiding the regularization entirely. The LSQR-ELM is based on the Least Squares QR (LSQR) iterative technique. Since the LSQR finds p a rtial Q R rather than full QR, it reduces unnecessary computation. To verify the proposed algorithm's ability, comparisons are made with several existing methods including ELM, Minimum Residual Method (MT-ELM), SVD-based SG-ELM, Optimally Pruned ELM (OP-ELM), and K-nearest neighbor (KNN). Extensive experimen-tation on various datasets demonstrates that the LSQR-ELM algorithm outperforms ELM, SG-ELM, OP-ELM, and KNN on most datasets. Moreover, it exhibits comparable performance to MT-ELM while requiring significantly f e wer computations.

Extreme learning machine (ELM) is an emergent method for train- ing single hidden layer feedforward neural networks (SLFNs) with extremely fast training speed, easy implementation and good generalization performance. This work presents effective ensemble procedures for combining ELMs by exploiting di- versity. A large number of ELMs are initially trained in three different scenarios: the original feature input space, the obtained feature subset by forward selection and different random subsets of features. The best combination of ELMs is con- structed according to an exact ranking of the trained models and the useless net- works are discarded. The experimental results on several regression problems show that robust ensemble approaches that exploit diversity can effectively improve the performance compared with the standard ELM algorithm and other recent ELM extensions.

Ensemble dropout extreme learning machine via fuzzy integral for data classification

Extreme learning machine (ELM) has been developed for single hidden layer feedforward neural networks (SLFNs). In ELM algorithm, the connections between the input layer and the hidden neurons are randomly assigned and remain unchanged during the learning process. The output connections are then tuned via minimizing the cost function through a linear system. The computational burden of ELM has been significantly reduced as the only cost is solving a linear system. The low computational complexity attracted a great deal of attention from the research community, especially for high dimensional and large data applications. This paper provides an up-to-date survey on the recent developments of ELM and its applications in high dimensional and large data. Comprehensive reviews on image processing, video processing, medical signal processing, and other popular large data applications with ELM are presented in the paper.

The extreme learning machine (ELM) is a well-known approach for training single hidden layer feedforward neural networks (SLFNs) in machine learning. However, ELM is most effective when used for regression on datasets with simple Gaussian distributed error because it often employs a squared loss in its objective function. In contrast, real-world data is often collected from unpredictable and diverse contexts, which may contain complex noise that cannot be characterized by a single distribution. To address this challenge, we propose a robust mixture ELM algorithm, called Mixture-ELM, that enhances modeling capability and resilience to both Gaussian and non-Gaussian noise. The Mixture-ELM algorithm uses an adjusted objective function that blends Gaussian and Laplacian distributions to approximate any continuous distribution and match the noise. The Gaussian mixture accurately models the residual distribution, while the inclusion of the Laplacian distribution addresses the limitations of the Gaussian distribution in identifying outliers. We derive a solution to the novel objective function using the expectation maximization (EM) and iteratively reweighted least squares (IRLS) algorithms. We evaluate the effectiveness of the algorithm through numerical simulation and experiments on benchmark datasets, thereby demonstrating its superiority over other state-of-the-art machine learning methods in terms of robustness and generalization.

Multilayer perceptrons with hard-limiting (signum) activation functions can form complex decision regions. It is well known that a three-layer perceptron (two hidden layers) can form arbitrary disjoint decision regions and a two-layer perceptron (one hidden layer) can form single convex decision regions. This paper further proves that single hidden layer feedforward neural networks (SLFN's) with any continuous bounded nonconstant activation function or any arbitrary bounded (continuous or not continuous) activation function which has unequal limits at infinities (not just perceptrons) can form disjoint decision regions with arbitrary shapes in multidimensional cases. SLFN's with some unbounded activation function can also form disjoint decision regions with arbitrary shapes.

Feedforward neural networks (FNN) are most heavily used to identify the relation between a given set of input and desired output patterns. By the universal approximation theorem, it is clear that a single-hidden layer FNN is suffcient for the outputs to approximate the corresponding desired outputs arbitrarily close and so we consider a single-hidden layer FNN. In practice, we set up an error function so as to measure the performance of the FNN. As the error function is nonlinear, we define an iterative process, learning algorithm, to obtain the optimal choice of the connection weights and thus set up a numerical optimization problem. In this paper, we consider a new error function defined on the hidden layer We propose a new learning algorithm based on the least square methods converges rapidly. We discuss our method with the classic learning algorithms and the convergence for these algorithms.

The face is one of the media to identify someone, a human face has a very high level of variability. Many methods have been introduced by researchers and scientists in recognizing one's face, one of the methods introduced is the Feature Extraction of Gray Level Co-Occurrence Matrix (GLCM) and Learning Vector Quantization (LVQ). GLCM feature extraction is used for data extraction/learning process whereas a data analysis process (face recognition, cropping and storing data) the LVQ method is used for the data training process where the data that has been processed in GLCM feature extraction which still has large dimensions are processed to be smaller dimensions. So this test uses data of 190 photos and gets a match of 90%, the authors conclude that the GLCM feature extraction and LVQ method can very well recognize faces contained in the database.

Massive amounts of medical data led to a faster, more accurate diagnosis and course of treatment for cancer. Machine learning (ML) algorithms have been developed increasingly in order to process medical data. By embedding knowledge from data into the algorithm’s architecture we customize MLs to provide personalized diagnosis and personalized treatment plan. The goal of this study is to statistically analyze non-parametric correlation coefficients for initializing the input-hidden weight matrix of three single hidden layer feedforward neural networks (SLFNs). A SLFN is able to approximate a continuous function given a training dataset as input for a desired output. Using different non-parametric correlation coefficients, \(\rho , \tau \), and \(\gamma \), we developed three novel SLFNs that have their input hidden layer weight matrix initialized using the above-mentioned correlation coefficients computed between the input and the output. The matrix that contains the hidden output weights is computed in just one step, using the Moore-Penrose pseudoinverse matrix. A statistical analysis is performed for assessing the models’ results when applied on three medical datasets that regard differentiating lung, breast, and liver cancer. The statistical benchmarking showed that the \(\rho \)-SLFN is superior to the other two. All three models were overall competitive to other state-of-the-art algorithms.KeywordsSpearman correlationKendall tau correlationGoodman Kruskal GammaSomer’s DSingle hidden feedforward networkStatistical assessment

Extreme Learning Machine (ELM) is a single hidden layer feed-forward neural network learning method, which has a high generalization performance as well as faster. In this paper, odour data is discriminated based on the sensor response curve by using ELM, and the main objective is to investigate the optimum number of nodes in the hidden layer of ELM for olfactory detection. The relationship between the number of nodes in the hidden layer and the number of attributes or classes of dataset is queried to achieve the goal. Three odour datasets taken from different sources in literature and two transfer functions for the ELM are used to verify the results of the study. The backpropagation (BP) algorithm is also used for training an artificial neural network for comparison purposes. The analysis is performed for the three datasets by using ELM and BP and obtained results present that the time consumption of ELM is too small to be compared with BP even though the number of nodes is high and better accuracy rates are obtained by ELM.

This study aims to develop an AI-based diagnostic tool for classifying dental conditions and tooth types to enhance the accuracy and efficiency of dental diagnostics. Manual documentation and diagnosis in dentistry are often prone to errors, inefficiencies, and delays, leading to adverse patient outcomes. Leveraging digital image processing and machine learning, this research addresses these challenges by automating the classification process. Dental imaging data were collected from the Dental and Mouth Hospital (RSGM) of Nala Husada Surabaya, Indonesia, comprising 3,910 images categorized into dental conditions (1,767 images) and tooth types (2,143 images). The dataset was preprocessed through resizing, grayscale conversion, histogram equalization, and median filtering. Texture features were extracted using the Gray Level Co-occurrence Matrix (GLCM), and classification was performed using Support Vector Machine (SVM), K-Nearest Neighbor, Naïve Bayes, Decision Tree, and Random Forest algorithms. The SVM algorithm achieved the highest accuracy of 54.24% for dental conditions and 41.49% for tooth types, outperforming other methods. However, the overall performance was suboptimal, primarily due to dataset limitations, reliance on GLCM for feature extraction, and insufficient preprocessing. The results highlight the potential of AI-based tools in dentistry but also underscore the need for improvements in dataset diversity, advanced feature extraction methods, and hyperparameter optimization. Future research should focus on expanding the dataset, exploring deep learning-based feature extraction, and employing robust evaluation strategies to enhance model performance. This study lays the groundwork for developing a more reliable and efficient AI-based diagnostic tool, ultimately improving patient outcomes and streamlining clinical workflows in dentistry.

The two-dimensional morphology of the cladding layer has an important influence on the quality of the cladding layer and the crack tendency. Using the powerful nonlinear processing ability of the single hidden layer feedforward neural network, a prediction model between the cladding technological parameters and the two-dimensional morphology of the cladding layer is established. Taking the cladding parameters as the input and the two-dimensional morphology of the cladding as the output, the experimental data is used to train the network to achieve a high-level mapping of the input and output. On this basis, the algorithm of extreme learning machine is used to optimize the single hidden layer feedforward neural network to overcome the problems of slow convergence speed, more network training parameters and easy local convergence in back-propagation algorithm. The results show that the relationship between the cladding process parameters and the two-dimensional morphology of the cladding layer can be roughly reflected by the back-propagation algorithm. However, the prediction results are not stable and the error rate is between 10% and 40%. The neural network optimized by the extreme learning machine is utilized to get a better prediction result. The error rate is 10–20%.
