Solving Data Overlapping Problem Using A Class‐Separable Extreme Learning Machine Auto‐Encoder
The overlapping and imbalanced data in classification present key challenges. Class‐separable extreme learning machine auto‐encoding (CS‐ELM‐AE) is proposed, which is an enhancement of ELM‐AE that better handles overlapping data by clustering points from the same class together. Applying oversampling addresses imbalanced data.

ABSTRACT Anatomy education is a hallmark of many preclinical medical school curricula, but students are often unable to identify the clinical relevance of anatomy and its applications. Vertical curricula that integrate clinical concepts into the preclinical basic science years and vice versa have been shown to benefit student learning and increase ...
