ELM-极限学习机-黄广斌学术报告-讲稿.doc

Zhengyou Zhang: Okay. So its my pleasure to introduce Professor GuangBin Huang from Nanyang Technological University of Singapore, NTU. So he is talking about his long interest research in extreme learning machine. He graduated from Northeastern University in China in applied mathematics and has been with NTU for quite a few years. And hes associate editor of Neurocomputing and also IEEE Transactions on Systems, Man and Cybernetics. And hes organizing our workshop. You can advertise your conference later. So please. GuangBin Huang: Thanks, Dr. Zhang, for inviting me here. Its my honor to give a talk to introduce the extreme learning machine. This is actually? the idea was initially initiated in 9? actually 2003. That was the first time we submitted papers. And then it become recognized by more and more researchers recently. So we just had a workshop in Australia last December. So we are going to have an international symposium on extreme learning machine that is coming December in China. Its Dr.?Zhangs hometown, or nearby his hometown. So were hoping you can join. Okay. So what is extreme learning machine? Actually, this is a technical talk about? talking about the kind of learning method. Such a learning method is different from the traditional learning method. So tuning is not required. So you will wish to know extreme learning machine I think its better to go back to review the traditional feedforward neural networks, including support vector machines. I assume many people consider support vector machines to not be known to neural networks. But actually in my opinion [inaudible] they have the same target, same architecture in some aspects, in some sense. So after we review feedforward neural networks, then we can go to the? to introduce what is called extreme learning machine. Actually, extreme learning machine is very, very simple. Okay. During my talk I also wish to give the comparison between the year end and th
