🌟 Key Features (Springer 2022 Implementation)

This implementation strictly follows the architectural framework of the P-ELM paper published in Applied Intelligence (Springer):

• ⚡ SVD-Augmented Initialization: Unlike standard ELMs, this version uses Singular Value Decomposition on augmented data matrices to initialize both Weights and Biases, ensuring superior numerical stability.
• 🧠 Intelligent Knowledge Base (KB): Features a fixed-length KB buffer that stores high-performing model weights, filtering out noise through eligibility criteria.
• 🔄 Master-Worker Synthesis: Parallel workers compute local output weights which are then synthesized by a central Master node using Centrality-based Model Averaging.
• 🛡️ Online Evaluator: Real-time feedback loop that validates learning quality before updating the Knowledge Base.

📖 Theoretical Background

This project implements the four main components of the P-ELM framework:

1. Parallel ELM Workers: Independent learners processing data chunks.
2. Weight Synthesizer: Aggregates knowledge from workers.
3. Knowledge Base (KB): Retains historical learning with a fixed-length memory.
4. Evaluator: ensures the reliability of newly learned patterns.
