Extreme learning machines (ELM) are a particular kind of Artificial Neural Networks, which solve classification and regression problems. Their performance is comparable to a classical Multilayer Perceptron trained with Error Back-Propagation algorithm, but the training time is up to 6 orders of magnitude smaller. (yes, a million times!)
ELMs are suitable for processing huge datasets and dealing with Big Data, and this toolbox is created as their fastest and most scalable implementation.

Example usage::
from hpelm import ELM elm = ELM(X.shape[1], T.shape[1]) elm.add_neurons(20, "sigm") elm.add_neurons(10, "rbf_l2") elm.train(X, T, "LOO") Y = elm.predict(X)
