Abstract

Extreme learning machine (ELM) is a fast learning algorithm for single hidden layer feed-forward neural networks, but it only can deal with the data sets with numerical attributes. Interval-valued data is considered as a direct attempt to extend precise real-valued data to imprecise scenarios. To deal with imprecise data, this paper proposes three extreme learning machine (ELM) models for interval-valued data. Mid-point and range of the interval are selected as the variables in the first model as in previous works. The second model selects endpoints as variables and produces better performance than model 1. The third model, a constrained ELM for interval-valued data, is built to guarantee the left bound is always smaller than its right bound. Three different standards are used to test the effectiveness of the three models, and experimental results show that the latter two models offer better performances than the former one.
