One of the most well-known problems in machine learning framework is classification of Parkinson's Disease (PD) to patient people and healthy people. Due to the importance of that problem, utilization of a novel learning method is necessary. For this purpose, this paper proposes the utilization of Extreme Learning Machine (ELM) as a type of feed-forward neural network with a single hidden layer to classify the PD patients. However ELM is known as the one of the fast and accurate learning methods, selection of relevant feature elements of PD dataset can be effective on improving the classification performance of ELM. To this end, this paper proposes Hybrid Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) as the second innovation to efficiently select the relevant feature elements. The main advantage of Hybrid PSO is locally improving of particles in order to jump over the local optimum solution and quickly converging to the global optimal solution. Evaluation of the proposed method on PD dataset proves the superiority of the propose method on the problem of PD classification, in comparison to the other learning methods.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
