Cropland maps are useful for the management of agricultural fields and the estimation of harvest yield. Some local governments have documented field properties, including crop type and location, based on site investigations. This process, which is generally done manually, is labor-intensive, and remote-sensing techniques can be used as alternatives. In this study, eight crop types (beans, beetroot, grass, maize, potatoes, squash, winter wheat, and yams) were identified using gamma naught values and polarimetric parameters calculated from TerraSAR-X (or TanDEM-X) dual-polarimetric (HH/VV) data. Three indices (difference (D-type), simple ratio (SR), and normalized difference (ND)) were calculated using gamma naught values and m-chi decomposition parameters and were evaluated in terms of crop classification. We also evaluated the classification accuracy of four widely used machine-learning algorithms (kernel-based extreme learning machine, support vector machine, multilayer feedforward neural network (FNN), and random forest) and two multiple-kernel methods (multiple kernel extreme learning machine (MKELM) and multiple kernel learning (MKL)). MKL performed best, achieving an overall accuracy of 92.1%, and proved useful for the identification of crops with small sample sizes. The difference (raw or normalized) between double-bounce scattering and odd-bounce scattering helped to improve the identification of squash and yams fields.

We propose a distance based multiple kernel extreme learning machine (DBMK-ELM), which provides a two-stage multiple kernel learning approach with high efficiency. Specifically, DBMK-ELM first projects multiple kernels into a new space, in which new instances are reconstructed based on the distance of different sample labels. Subsequently, anl2-norm regularization least square, in which the normal vector corresponds to the kernel weights of a new kernel, is trained based on these new instances. After that, the new kernel is utilized to train and test extreme learning machine (ELM). Extensive experimental results demonstrate the superior performance of the proposed DBMK-ELM in terms of the accuracy and the computational cost.

The analytical model (AM) of suspension force in a bearingless flywheel machine has model mismatch problems due to magnetic saturation and rotor eccentricity. A numerical modeling method based on the differential evolution (DE) extreme learning machine (ELM) is proposed in this paper. The representative input and output sample set are obtained by finite-element analysis (FEA) and principal component analysis (PCA), and the numerical model of suspension force is obtained by training ELM. Additionally, the DE algorithm is employed to optimize the ELM parameters to improve the model accuracy. Finally, absolute error (AE) and root mean squared error (RMSE) are introduced as evaluation indexes to conduct comparative analyses with other commonly-used machine learning algorithms, such as k-Nearest Neighbor (KNN), the back propagation (BP) algorithm, and support vector machines (SVMs). The results show that, compared with the above algorithm, the proposed method has smaller fitting and prediction errors; the RMSE value is just 22.88% of KNN, 39.90% of BP, and 58.37% of SVM, which verifies the effectiveness and validity of the proposed numerical modeling method.

This paper presents the pattern classification of the binary microarray gene expression based medical data using extreme learning machine (ELM) and its variants like on-line sequential ELM (OSELM) and kernel based extreme learning machine (KELM). In the KELM category two variants namely the wavelet based kernel (WKELM) extreme learning machine and radial basis kernel extreme learning machine (RKELM) along with support vector machine (SVMRBF) and support vector machine polynomial (SVMPoly) are used to classify microarray medical datasets. Further to reduce the high dimensionality of Microarray medical datasets giving rise to high number of gene expression and small sample sizes, a modified evolutionary cat swarm optimization (MCSO) technique is adopted. The efficiency of the proposed algorithm is verified using a set of performance metrics for four binary medical datasets belonging to breast cancer, prostate cancer, colon tumor, and leukemia, respectively.

Abstract Background Prediction of novel Drug–Target interactions (DTIs) plays an important role in discovering new drug candidates and finding new proteins to target. In consideration of the time-consuming and expensive of experimental methods. Therefore, it is a challenging task that how to develop efficient computational approaches for the accurate predicting potential associations between drug and target. Results In the paper, we proposed a novel computational method called WELM-SURF based on drug fingerprints and protein evolutionary information for identifying DTIs. More specifically, for exploiting protein sequence feature, Position Specific Scoring Matrix (PSSM) is applied to capturing protein evolutionary information and Speed up robot features (SURF) is employed to extract sequence key feature from PSSM. For drug fingerprints, the chemical structure of molecular substructure fingerprints was used to represent drug as feature vector. Take account of the advantage that the Weighted Extreme Learning Machine (WELM) has short training time, good generalization ability, and most importantly ability to efficiently execute classification by optimizing the loss function of weight matrix. Therefore, the WELM classifier is used to carry out classification based on extracted features for predicting DTIs. The performance of the WELM-SURF model was evaluated by experimental validations on enzyme, ion channel, GPCRs and nuclear receptor datasets by using fivefold cross-validation test. The WELM-SURF obtained average accuracies of 93.54, 90.58, 85.43 and 77.45% on enzyme, ion channels, GPCRs and nuclear receptor dataset respectively. We also compared our performance with the Extreme Learning Machine (ELM), the state-of-the-art Support Vector Machine (SVM) on enzyme and ion channels dataset and other exiting methods on four datasets. By comparing with experimental results, the performance of WELM-SURF is significantly better than that of ELM, SVM and other previous methods in the domain. Conclusion The results demonstrated that the proposed WELM-SURF model is competent for predicting DTIs with high accuracy and robustness. It is anticipated that the WELM-SURF method is a useful computational tool to facilitate widely bioinformatics studies related to DTIs prediction.

By utilizing kernel functions, support vector machines (SVMs) successfully solve the linearly inseparable problems. Subsequently, its applicable areas have been greatly extended. Using multiple kernels (MKs) to improve the SVM classification accuracy has been a hot topic in the SVM research society for several years. However, most MK learning (MKL) methods employ L1-norm constraint on the kernel combination weights, which forms a sparse yet nonsmooth solution for the kernel weights. Alternatively, the Lp-norm constraint on the kernel weights keeps all information in the base kernels. Nonetheless, the solution of Lp-norm constraint MKL is nonsparse and sensitive to the noise. Recently, some scholars presented an efficient sparse generalized MKL (L1- and L2-norms based GMKL) method, in which L1  L2 established an elastic constraint on the kernel weights. In this paper, we further extend the GMKL to a more generalized MKL method based on the p-norm, by joining L1- and Lp-norms. Consequently, the L1- and L2-norms based GMKL is a special case in our method when p=2. Experiments demonstrated that our L1- and Lp-norms based MKL offers a higher accuracy than the L1- and L2-norms based GMKL in the classification, while keeping the properties of the L1- and L2-norms based on GMKL.
