Broad learning system (BLS) is a novel neural network with effective and efficient learning ability. BLS has attracted increasing attention from many scholars owing to its excellent performance. This article proposes a weighted BLS (WBLS) based on BLS to tackle the noise and outliers in an industrial process. WBLS provides a unified framework for easily using different methods of calculating the weighted penalty factor. Using the weighted penalty factor to constrain the contribution of each sample to modeling, the normal and abnormal samples were allocated higher and lower weights to increase and decrease their contributions, respectively. Hence, the WBLS can eliminate the bad effect ...
