Abstract Background: Auscultation is a medical procedure used for the initial diagnosis and assessment of lung and heart diseases. From this perspective, we propose assessing the performance of the extreme learning machine (ELM) classifiers for the diagnosis of pulmonary pathology using breath sounds. Methods: Energy and entropy features were extracted from the breath sound using the wavelet packet transform. The statistical significance of the extracted features was evaluated by one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA). The extracted features were inputted into the ELM classifier. Results: The maximum classification accuracies obtained for the conventional validation (CV) of the energy and entropy features were 97.36% and 98.37%, respectively, whereas the accuracies obtained for the cross validation (CRV) of the energy and entropy features were 96.80% and 97.91%, respectively. In addition, maximum classification accuracies of 98.25% and 99.25% were obtained for the CV and CRV of the ensemble features, respectively. Conclusion: The results indicate that the classification accuracy obtained with the ensemble features was higher than those obtained with the energy and entropy features.

Online tool wear prediction is a determining factor to the success of smart manufacturing operations. The implementation of sensors based Prognostic and Health Management (PHM) system plays an important role in estimating Remaining Useful Life (RUL) of cutting tools and optimizing the usage of Computer Numerically Controlled (CNC) machines. The present paper deals with health assessment and RUL estimation of the cutting tool machines based on Wavelet Packet Transform (WPT) and Extreme Learning Machine (ELM). This approach is done in two phases: a learning (offline) phase and a testing (online) phase. During the first phase, the WPT is used to extract the relevant features of raw data computed in the form of nodes energy. The extracted features are then fed to the learning algorithm ELM in order to build an offline model. In the online phase, the constructed model is exploited for assessing and predicting the RUL of cutting tool. The main idea is that ELM involves nonlinear regression in a high dimensional feature space for mapping the input data via a nonlinear function to build a prognostics model. The method was applied to real world data gathered during several cuts of a milling CNC tool. The performance of the proposed method is evaluated through the accuracy metric. Results showed the significance performances achieved by the WPT and ELM for early detection and accurate prediction of the monitored cutting tools.

In the present scenario, one of the dangerous disease is cancer. It spreads through blood or lymph to other location of the body, it is a set of cells display uncontrolled growth, attack and destroy nearby tissues, and occasionally metastasis. In cancer diagnosis and molecular biology, a utilized effective tool is DNA microarrays. The dominance of this technique is recognized, so several open doubt arise regarding proper examination of microarray data. In the field of medical sciences, multicategory cancer classification plays very important role. The need for cancer classification has become essential because the number of cancer sufferers is increasing. In this research work, to overcome problems of multicategory cancer classification an improved Extreme Learning Machine (ELM) classifier is used. It rectify problems faced by iterative learning methods such as local minima, improper learning rate and over fitting and the training completes with high speed.


To design an efficient embedded module field-programmable gate array (FPGA) plays significant role. FPGA, a high speed reconfigurable hardware platform has been used in various field of research to produce the throughput efficiently. A now-a-days artificial neural network (ANN) is the most prevalent classifier for many analytical applications. In this paper, weighted online sequential extreme learning machine (WOS-ELM) classifier is presented and implemented in hardware environment to classify the different real-world bench-mark datasets. The faster learning speed, remarkable classification accuracy, lesser hardware resources, and short-event detection time, aid the hardware implementation of WOS-ELM classifier to design an embedded module. Finally, the developed hardware architecture of the WOS-ELM classifier is implemented on a high speed reconfigurable Xilinx Virtex (ML506) FPGA board to demonstrate the feasibility, effectiveness, and robustness of WOS-ELM classifier to classify the data in real-time environment.

The objective of this paper is to study the problem of employee turnover prediction and to develop a classifier that uses employee's data to identify those who have a greater tendency to leave the company voluntarily. For such purpose, the data of 8724 employees from a real Brazilian beverage company was used to train an Extreme Learning Machine (ELM) classifier, assigning to each sample a weight inversely proportional to the size of the respective class. After the training, the classifier displayed an overall accuracy of 79% of the test data.

Abstract Accurate precipitation prediction can help plan for different water resources management demands and provide an extension of lead-time for the tactical and strategic planning of courses of action as well as activity. In this paper, a novel merged precipitation prediction framework (ELM-WPD) is proposed on the Extreme learning machine (ELM) with wavelet packet decomposition (WPD). The model can be described as the following: (a) we use the WPD to decompose the original precipitation data into several sub-layers; (b) ELM model is employed to complete the forecasting calculation for the decomposed series; (c) the results are integrated to complete the final prediction. Four quantitative indexes (RMSE, MAE, R and NSEC) are employed for the comparison criteria. The results are compared with Back-propagation neural network (BPNN), autoregressive integrated moving average model (ARIMA), ELM, BPNN-WPD model, ARIMA-WPD, indicating that the ELM-WPD model has better performance than other models used in this paper. Hence, the proposed method can provide higher accuracy and reliability for annual precipitation forecasting and can be extended to similar situations for precipitation forecasting.

The experimental results show that the accuracy and the speed of fault diagnosis based on the RWELM are better than the ELM, RBF neural network and SVM.

The morphology of wear particles reflects the complex properties of wear processes involved in particle formation. Typically, the morphology of wear particles is evaluated qualitatively based on microscopy observations. This procedure relies upon the experts’ knowledge and, thus, is not always objective and cheap. With the rapid development of computer image processing technology, neural network based on traditional gradient training algorithm can be used to recognize them. However, the feedforward neural network based on traditional gradient training algorithms for image segmentation creates many issues, such as needing multiple iterations to converge and easy fall into local minimum, which restrict its development heavily. Recently, extreme learning machine (ELM) for single-hidden-layer feedforward neural networks (SLFN) has been attracting attentions for its faster learning speed and better generalization performance than those of traditional gradient-based learning algorithms. In this paper, we propose to employ ELM for ferrography wear particles image recognition. We extract the shape features, color features, and texture features of five typical kinds of wear particles as the input of the ELM classifier and set five types of wear particles as the output of the ELM classifier. Therefore, the novel ferrography wear particle classifier is founded based on ELM.
