As a result, multi-label classification has aroused widespread concern. Different from traditional machine learning methods which are time-consuming during the training phase, ELM-RBF (extreme learning machine-radial basis function) is more efficient and has become a research hotspot in multi-label classification. However, because of the lack of effective optimization methods, conventional extreme learning machines are always unstable and tend to fall into local optimum, which leads to low prediction accuracy in practical applications. To this end, a modified ELM-RBF with a synergistic adaptive genetic algorithm (ELM-RBF-SAGA) is proposed in this paper. In ELM-RBF-SAGA, we present a synergistic adaptive genetic algorithm (SAGA) to optimize the performance of ELM-RBF. In addition, two optimization methods are employed collaboratively in SAGA. One is used for adjusting the range of fitness value, the other is applied to update crossover and mutation probability. Sufficient experiments show that ELM-RBF-SAGA has excellent performance in multi-label classification.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/a15060185","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,5,26]],"date-time":"2022-05-26T08:50:22Z","timestamp":1653555022000},"page":"185","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":5,"title":["An Improved Multi-Label Learning Method with ELM-RBF and a Synergistic Adaptive Genetic Algorithm"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"15","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-3456-5259","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Dezheng","family":"Zhang","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Computer and Communication Engineering, University of Science and Technology Beijing, Beijing 100083, China"},{"name":"Beijing Key Laboratory of Knowledge Engineering for Materials Science, Beijing 100083, China"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-5453-7389","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Peng","family":"Li","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Computer and Communication Engineering, University of Science and Technology Beijing, Beijing 100083, China"},{"name":"Beijing Key Laboratory of Knowledge Engineering for Materials Science, Beijing 100083, China"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-7228-7838","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Aziguli","family":"Wulamu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Computer and Communication Engineering, University of Science and Technology Beijing, Beijing 100083, China"},{"name":"Beijing Key Laboratory of Knowledge Engineering for Materials Science, Beijing 100083, China"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2022,5,26]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"333","DOI":"10.1007\/s10994-011-5256-5","article-title":"Classifier chains for multi-label classification","volume":"85","author":"Read","year":"2011","journal-title":"Mach.
