A Rough RBF Neural Network Based on Weighted Regularized Extreme Learning Machine

摘要

Adjusting parameters iteratively is a traditional way of training neural networks, and the Rough RBF Neural Networks (R-RBF-NN) follows the same idea. However, this idea has many disadvantages, for instance, the training accuracy and generalization accuracy etc. So how to change this condition is a hot topic in Academics. On the basis of Extreme Learning Machine (ELM), this paper proposes a Weighted Regularized Extreme Learning Machine (WRELM), taking into account both minimizing structured risk and weighted least-squares principle, to train R-RBF-NN. The traditional iterative training method is replaced by the minimal norm least-squares solution of general linear system. The method proposed in this paper, increasing controllability of the entire learning process and considering the structured risk and empirical risk, can improve the performance of learning and generalization. Experiments show that it can reach a very superior performance in both time and accuracy when WRELM trains the Rough RBF Neural Networks in pattern classification and function regression, especially in pattern classification, which can improve the generalization accuracy more than 3.36 % compared with ELM. Obviously, the performance of the method proposed in this paper is better than the traditional methods.
