Incremental ELMVIS for unsupervised learning
share
An incremental version of the ELMVIS+ method is proposed in this paper. It iteratively selects a few best fitting data samples from a large pool, and adds them to the model. The method keeps high speed of ELMVIS+ while allowing for much larger possible sample pools due to lower memory requirements. The extension is useful for reaching a better local optimum with greedy optimization of ELMVIS, and the data structure can be specified in semi-supervised optimization. The major new application of incremental ELMVIS is not to visualization, but to a general dataset processing. The method is capable of learning dependencies from non-organized unsupervised data – either reconstructing a shuffled dataset, or learning dependencies in complex high-dimensional space. The results are interesting and promising, although there is space for improvements.
