Enhancing Extreme Learning Machine Robustness via Residual-Variance-Aware Dynamic Weighting and Broyden–Fletcher–Goldfarb–Shanno Optimization: Application to Metro Crowd Flow Predi... by Lihui Wang, Jianguang Xie

“…Aiming at the robustness problem of the extreme learning machine (ELM) in noisy and nonuniform data scenarios, this paper proposes an improved algorithm (BFGS-URWELM) that integrates uniform residual weighting and Broyden–Fletcher–Goldfarb–Shanno (BFGS) quasi-Newton optimization. This method introduces a sample weighting mechanism based on the target residual variance, dynamically adjusts the importance of training samples, and iteratively corrects the input weights and biases of the ELM in combination with the BFGS optimization strategy, effectively improving the prediction accuracy and stability of the model. …”
