Abstract

This paper presents a novel model of Extreme Learning Machines (ELMs) for incomplete data. ELMs are fast accurate randomized neural networks. Nevertheless ELM can only be applied on the complete dataset. Therefore, a novel Multi-ELM Model for incomplete data is proposed, consisting of multiple secondary ELMs and one primary ELM. The secondary ELMs are approximating the primary ELM's hidden neurons' outputs for the data with missing values. As summarized in the experimental Section, this model can be applied on data with any missing patterns, without using imputations and can outperform the traditional imputation methods within a reasonable fraction of missing values, as it avoids the noises introduced by imputations.
