"ELM" = "Extreme Learning Machine" is apparently heavily based upon previous work, if not outright plagiarism. The Wikipedia article on ELM discusses this only briefly: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Extreme_learning_machine#Controversy https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Extreme_learning_machine#Contr... Yann LeCun' opinion on ELM: 'What's so great about "Extreme Learning Machines"?': https://www.reddit.com/r/MachineLearning/comments/34u0go/yann_lecun_whats_so_great_about_extreme_learning/ https://www.reddit.com/r/MachineLearning/comments/34u0go/yan... A sort-of "How-to plagiarize successfully" guide including "Easy but Proven 5 Steps to Academic Fame" with Huang's work as a gleaming example: https://elmorigin.wixsite.com/originofelm https://elmorigin.wixsite.com/originofelm Two very detailed plagiarism analyses of two of Huang's papers. They are quite sarcastic, funny and enlightening: https://docs.wixstatic.com/ugd/5256f1_ac3a0f6b08524a3ca6101d4f3b74f54e.pdf https://docs.wixstatic.com/ugd/5256f1_ac3a0f6b08524a3ca6101d... And finally, as one poster says, the provenance of "Deep Learning" itself has some controversy: https://www.researchgate.net/post/Why_Extreme_Learning_machine_is_not_so_popular_as_Deep_Learning https://www.researchgate.net/post/Why_Extreme_Learning_machi... "But, just recently I also found that there is also a problem with the inventorship of Deep Learning. http://people.idsia.ch/~juergen/deep-learning-conspiracy.html http://people.idsia.ch/~juergen/deep-learning-conspiracy.htm... For this, I post a question for discussing these issues. https://www.researchgate.net/post/Any_enlightment_on_the_origin_or_inventorships_of_ELM_and_Deep_Learning https://www.researchgate.net/post/Any_enlightment_on_the_ori... https://docs.wixstatic.com/ugd/5256f1_556b42c00d0d4d5bb199fb2e45def79f.pdf"* https://docs.wixstatic.com/ugd/5256f1_556b42c00d0d4d5bb199fb...
