A New Learning Paradigm for Stochastic Configuration Network: SCN+ (2203.07068v1)

Abstract: Learning using privileged information (LUPI) paradigm, which pioneered teacher-student interaction mechanism, makes the learning models use additional information in training stage. This paper is the first to propose an incremental learning algorithm with LUPI paradigm for stochastic configuration network (SCN), named SCN+. This novel algorithm can leverage privileged information into SCN in the training stage, which provides a new method to train SCN. Moreover, the convergences have been studied in this paper. Finally, experimental results indicate that SCN+ indeed performs favorably.
