“…• Select disjoint train and test datasets The V-ELM has already been tested in a number of applications, such as hyperspectral image classification (Ayerdi, Marqués, & Graña, 2015), remote sensing data classification (Han & Liu, 2015) and natural gas reservoir characterization (Anifowose, Labadin, & Abdulraheem, in press), wastewater quality index modeling (Zhao, Yuan, Chai, & Tang, 2011), and intrusion detection (Fossaceca, Mazzuchi, & Sarkani, 2015) with the enhancement of multikernel learning. This basic architecture has been modified in the literature, for instance soft-class dependent voting schemes (Cao et al, 2015) provide improved reliability and sparseness of the model, a distributed approach allows to perform classification in P2P networks (Sun, Yuan, & Wang, 2011), and delta test strategy for hidden units selection enhances the construction of ensembles in Yu et al (2014).…”
