Extreme Learning Machine based bacterial protein subcellular localization prediction

In this paper, extreme learning machine (ELM) is introduced to predict the subcellular localization of proteins based on the frequent subsequences. It is proved that ELM is extremely fast and can provide good generalization performance. We evaluated the performance of ELM on four localization sites with frequent subsequences as the feature space. A new parameter called Comparesup was introduced to help the feature selection. The performance of ELM was tested on data with different number of frequent subsequences, which were determined by different range of Comparesup. The results demonstrated that ELM performed better than previously reported results, for all of the four localization sites.
