<p>This paper explores the performance of the Extreme Learning Machine (ELM) in an acid sulfate soil classification task. ELM is an Artificial Neuron Network with a new learning method. The dataset comes from Finland’s west coast region, containing point observations and environmental covariates datasets. The experimental results show similar overall accuracy of ELM and Random Forest models. However, ELM implementation is easy, fast, and requires minimal human intervention compared to conventional ML methods like Random Forest.</p>
