Abstract
Due to its efficient incremental learning performance, the broad learning system (BLS) has received widespread attention in the field of machine learning. Scholars have found in algorithm research that using the maximum correntropy criterion (MCC) can further improves the performance of broad learning in handling outliers. Recent studies have shown that differential equations can be used to represent the forward propagation of deep learning. The BLS based on MCC uses differentiation to optimize parameters, which indicates that differential methods can also be used for BLS optimization. But general methods use integer order differential equations, ignoring system information between integer orders. Due to the long-term memory property of fractional differential equations, this paper innovatively introduces fractional order optimization into the BLS, called FOBLS, to better enhance the data processing capability of the BLS. Firstly, a BLS is constructed using fractional order, incorporating long-term memory characteristics into the weight optimization process. In addition, constructing a dynamic incremental learning system based on fractional order further enhances the ability of network optimization. The experimental results demonstrate the excellent performance of the method proposed in this paper.
