A new dandelion algorithm and optimization for extreme learning machine

摘要

In this paper, we proposed the Dandelion Algorithm (DA), based on the behaviour of dandelion sowing. In DA, the dandelion is sown in a certain range based on dynamic radius. Meanwhile the dandelion has self-learning ability; it could select a number of excellent seeds to learn. We compare the proposed algorithm with other existing algorithms. Simulations show that the proposed algorithm seems much superior to other algorithms. Moreover, the proposed algorithm can be applied to optimise extreme learning machine (ELM), which has a very good classification and prediction capability.
