    Extreme learning machine (ELM) is a fast learning algorithm for single hidden layer feed-forward neural network (SLFN) based on random input weights which usually requires large number of hidden nodes. Recently, novel constructive and destructive parsimonious (CP and DP)-ELM which provide the effectiveness generalization and compact hidden nodes have been proposed. However, the performance might be unstable due to the randomization either in ordinary ELM or CP and DP-ELM. In this study, analytical incremental learning (AIL) algorithm is proposed in which all weights of neural network are calculated analytically without any randomization. The hidden nodes of AIL are incrementally generated based on residual error using least square (LS) method. The results show the effectiveness of AIL which has not only smallest number of hidden nodes and more stable but also good generalization than those of ELM, CP and DP-ELM based on seven benchmark data sets evaluation.

    Hinge loss projection for classification

    Hinge loss is one-sided function which gives optimal solution than that of squared error (SE) loss function in case of classification. It allows data points which have a value greater than 1 and less than −1 for positive and negative classes, respectively. These have zero contribution to hinge function. However, in the most classification tasks, least square (LS) method such as ridge regression uses SE instead of hinge function. In this paper, a simple projection method is used to minimize hinge loss function through LS methods. We modify the ridge regression and its kernel based version i.e. kernel ridge regression so that it can adopt to hinge function instead of using SE in case of classification problem. The results show the effectiveness of hinge loss projection method especially on imbalanced data sets in terms of geometric mean (GM).

    Most visible light communication (VLC) technologies use a light emitting diode (LED) as a data transmitter and a photodiode as a receiver. In this paper, we alternatively focus on the use of an image sensor or camera as a receiver due to its wide availability. However, the successful use of an image sensor mainly depends on the efficiency of the encoder-decoder and the modulation scheme. Thus, this paper proposes a novel modulation scheme based on a square wave signal called a square wave quadrature amplitude modulation (SW-QAM) method. This method can accommodate different camera settings and overcome the problem of LED flicker that is generally sensed by human eyes when the LED frequency is low. At the transmitter side, multiple LEDs can be used to increase the transmission bit rate, while, at the receiver side, a Wiener filter is used as a complementary technique to SW-QAM for solving the light interference phenomenon due to the closeness of one LED to another. Our experimental results show that the proposed SW-QAM scheme can decode symbols very well either the for close or far communication distances, dark or bright lighting conditions, and single or multiple LED points.

    A non-iterative learning algorithm for artificial neural networks is an alternative to optimize the neural network parameters with extremely fast convergence time. Extreme learning machine (ELM) is one of the fastest learning algorithms based on a non-iterative method for a single hidden layer feedforward neural network (SLFN) model. ELM uses a randomization technique that requires a large number of hidden nodes to achieve the high accuracy. This leads to a large and complex model, which is slow at the inference time. Previously, we reported analytical incremental learning (AIL) algorithm, which is a compact model and a non-iterative deterministic learning algorithm, to be used as an alternative. However, AIL cannot grow its set of hidden nodes, due to the node saturation problem. Here, we describe a local sigmoid method (LSM) that is also a sufficiently compact model and a non-iterative deterministic learning algorithm to overcome both the ELM randomization and AIL node saturation problems. The LSM algorithm is based on 'divide and conquer' method that divides the dataset into several subsets which are easier to optimize separately. Each subset can be associated with a local segment represented as a hidden node that preserves local information of the subset. This technique helps us to understand the function of each hidden node of the network built. Moreover, we can use such a technique to explain the function of hidden nodes learned by backpropagation, the iterative algorithm. Based on our experimental results, LSM is more accurate than other non-iterative learning algorithms and one of the most compact models.

    We have proposed a square wave quadrature amplitude modulation (SW-QAM) scheme for visible light communication (VLC) using an image sensor in our previous work. Here, we propose a robust and unified system by using a neural decoding method. This method offers essential SW-QAM decoding capabilities, such as LED localization, light interference elimination, and unknown parameter estimation, bundled into a single neural network model. This work makes use of a convolutional neural network (CNN) that has a capability in automatic learning of unknown parameters, especially when it deals with images as an input. The neural decoding method can provide good solutions for two difficult conditions that are not covered by our previous SW-QAM scheme: unfixed LED positions and multiple point spread functions (PSFs) of multiple LEDs. Responding to the above solutions, three recent CNN architectures - VGG, ResNet, and DenseNet - are modified to suit our scheme and other two small CNN architectures - VGG-like and MiniDenseNet - are proposed for low computing devices. Our experimental results show that the proposed neural decoding method performs better in terms of error rate than the theoretical decoding, an SW-QAM decoder with a $Wiener$ filter, in different scenarios. Furthermore, we experiment on the problem of moving camera, i.e., the unfixed position of LED points. For this case, a spatial transformer network (STN) layer is added to the neural decoding method for solving the moving camera problem, and the method with the new layer achieves a remarkable result.

    Although many papers have used fractal dimension (FD) to analyze magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) for detecting various brain diseases, especially Alzheimer's disease (AD), they have been unsuccessful to classify the AD patients in case of healthy and AD brain-MRIs. The significant problems are from (i) the lack of the efficient FD estimation method and (ii) the failure of applying statistical analysis to discriminate the subjects in MRIs. Therefore, this paper proposes an alternative way to overcome these problems by using an improved triangle box-counting method (ITBC) for effective FD estimation and using machine learning for brain-MRI discrimination. The proposed method is evaluated its performance with the Alzheimer's disease patient discrimination dataset of open access series of imaging studies (OASIS). The experimental results show that the pro-posed method can achieve the classification accuracy rate up to 86.20% whereas the statistical analysis approaches cannot discriminate healthy and AD.
