In this paper, we propose a scheme that can be used in largescale nonlinear facial image classification problems. An approximate solution of the kernel Extreme Learning Machine classifier is formulated and evaluated. Experiments on twopublicly available facial image datasets using two popular facial image representations illustrate the effectiveness and efficiency of the proposed approach. The proposed Approximate Kernel Extreme Learning Machine classifier is able to scale well in both time and memory, while achieving good generalization performance. Specifically, it is shown that it outperforms the standard ELM approach for the same time and memory requirements. Compared to the original kernel ELM approach, it achieves similar (or better) performance,while scaling well in both time and memory with respect to the training set cardinality.
