IntelELM (Intelligent Metaheuristic-based Extreme Learning Machine) is a Python library that implements a framework for training Extreme Learning Machine (ELM) networks using Metaheuristic Algorithms. It provides a comparable alternative to the traditional ELM network and is compatible with the Scikit-Learn library. With IntelELM, you can perform searches and hyperparameter tuning using the functionalities provided by the Scikit-Learn library.

- In this section, we will explore the usage of the IntelELM model with the assistance of a dataset. While all the preprocessing steps mentioned below can be replicated using Scikit-Learn, we have implemented some utility functions to provide users with convenience and faster usage.
### Step 1: Importing the libraries
from intelelm import ElmRegressor, ElmClassifier, MhaElmRegressor, MhaElmClassifier, get_dataset
#### Step 2: Reading the dataset
data = get_dataset("aniso")
#### Step 3: Next, split dataset into train and test set
data.split_train_test(test_size=0.2, shuffle=True, random_state=100)
#### Step 4: Feature Scaling
data.X_train, scaler_X = data.scale(data.X_train, scaling_methods=("standard", "minmax"))
data.X_test = scaler_X.transform(data.X_test)
data.y_train, scaler_y = data.encode_label(data.y_train) # This is for classification problem only
data.y_test = scaler_y.transform(data.y_test)
#### Step 5: Fitting ELM-based model to the dataset
##### 5.1: Use standard ELM model for regression problem
regressor = ElmRegressor(hidden_size=10, act_name="relu", seed=42)
regressor.fit(data.X_train, data.y_train)
##### 5.2: Use standard ELM model for classification problem
classifer = ElmClassifier(hidden_size=10, act_name="tanh", seed=42)
classifer.fit(data.X_train, data.y_train)
##### 5.3: Use Metaheuristic-based ELM model for regression problem
print(MhaElmClassifier.SUPPORTED_OPTIMIZERS)
print(MhaElmClassifier.SUPPORTED_REG_OBJECTIVES)
opt_paras = {"name": "GA", "epoch": 10, "pop_size": 30}
regressor = MhaElmRegressor(hidden_size=10, act_name="elu", obj_name="RMSE",
optimizer="BaseGA", optimizer_paras=opt_paras, seed=42)
regressor.fit(data.X_train, data.y_train)
##### 5.4: Use Metaheuristic-based ELM model for classification problem
print(MhaElmClassifier.SUPPORTED_OPTIMIZERS)
print(MhaElmClassifier.SUPPORTED_CLS_OBJECTIVES)
opt_paras = {"name": "GA", "epoch": 10, "pop_size": 30}
classifier = MhaElmClassifier(hidden_size=10, act_name="elu", obj_name="KLDL",
optimizer="BaseGA", optimizer_paras=opt_paras, seed=42)
classifier.fit(data.X_train, data.y_train)
#### Step 6: Predicting a new result
y_pred = regressor.predict(data.X_test)
y_pred_cls = classifier.predict(data.X_test)
y_pred_label = scaler_y.inverse_transform(y_pred_cls)
#### Step 7: Calculate metrics using score or scores functions.
print("Try my AS metric with score function")
print(regressor.score(data.X_test, data.y_test, method="AS"))
print("Try my multiple metrics with scores function")
print(classifier.scores(data.X_test, data.y_test, list_methods=["AS", "PS", "F1S", "CEL", "BSL"]))
print("Try my evaluate functions")
print(regressor.evaluate(data.y_test, y_pred, list_metrics=("RMSE", "MAE", "MAPE", "NSE", "R2")))
#### Save results
regressor.save_loss_train(save_path="history", filename="loss_train.csv")
regressor.save_metrics(data.y_test, y_pred, list_metrics=("R2", "MAPE", "MAE", "MSE"), save_path="history", filename="metrics.csv")A real-world dataset contains features that vary in magnitudes, units, and range. We would suggest performing normalization when the scale of a feature is irrelevant or misleading. Feature Scaling basically helps to normalize the data within a particular range.
- Where do I find the supported metrics like above ["AS", "PS", "RS"]. What is that? You can find it here: https://github.com/thieu1995/permetrics or use this
from intelelm import MhaElmClassifier, MhaElmRegressor
print(MhaElmRegressor.SUPPORTED_REG_OBJECTIVES)
print(MhaElmClassifier.SUPPORTED_CLS_OBJECTIVES)- I got this type of error
raise ValueError("Existed at least one new label in y_pred.")
ValueError: Existed at least one new label in y_pred.How to solve this?

This occurs only when you are working on a classification problem with a small dataset that has many classes. For instance, the "Zoo" dataset contains only 101 samples, but it has 7 classes. If you split the dataset into a training and testing set with a ratio of around 80% - 20%, there is a chance that one or more classes may appear in the testing set but not in the training set. As a result, when you calculate the performance metrics, you may encounter this error. You cannot predict or assign new data to a new label because you have no knowledge about the new label. There are several solutions to this problem.
-
1st: Use the SMOTE method to address imbalanced data and ensure that all classes have the same number of samples.
import pandas as pd
from imblearn.over_sampling import SMOTE
from intelelm import Data
dataset = pd.read_csv('examples/dataset.csv', index_col=0).values
X, y = dataset[:, 0:-1], dataset[:, -1]
X_new, y_new = SMOTE().fit_resample(X, y)
data = Data(X_new, y_new)- 2nd: Use different random_state numbers in split_train_test() function.
import pandas as pd
from intelelm import Data
dataset = pd.read_csv('examples/dataset.csv', index_col=0).values
X, y = dataset[:, 0:-1], dataset[:, -1]
data = Data(X, y)
data.split_train_test(test_size=0.2, random_state=10) # Try different random_state value - When testing several algorithms based on Extreme Learning Machines (ELM), they all produce the same results. Even during the training process, the global best solution remains unchanged.
- This issue was identified in version <= v1.0.2 when the default values for the lower bound (lb) and upper bound (ub) were set in the narrow range of (-1, 1). This limited range proved to be too small, causing all algorithms to converge to local optima. Fortunately, this problem has been addressed in versions > v1.0.3, where the default range has been extended to (-10., 10.). You also can define your own lb and ub ranges depend on your problem.
- In traditional neural network like MLP, they weights (weights + biases) are typically initialized within the range of (-1., 1.). However, during training using gradient-based methods, these values are updated, and there are no strict bounds on them.
- Meanwhile, in metaheuristic optimization, it's necessary to set boundaries for decision variables (weights) each time a new search agent is formed. Therefore, if you define a narrow range, your optimizer may converge more quickly, but it's more likely to get stuck in local optima (which explains why the global best value remains unchanged during training). Moreover, in some cases, there might not even be a global optimum within that narrow range. Conversely, if you set a wider range, the optimization process may be slower, and the global best value may change more gradually. In such cases, you might need to increase the number of epochs, perhaps up to 1000, for the optimizer to explore the solution space thoroughly.
