Yes, we are aware of the formal complaint surrounding Extreme Learning Machines. Essentially the same algorithm was published in a *1992 *paper (http://homepage.tudelft.nl/a9p19/papers/icpr_92_random.pdf), *neural networks with random weights* - more than 10 years before ELMs came to light.

We are planning to change the name of the algorithm from Extreme learning machine to, say, *RandomNeuralNets* and to credit the authors of the original idea!

It's a little bit off-topic, and I am really not that much into the literature 
to be a judge of that, but just a few days ago there was formal letter of 
complaint against ELMs: http://theanonymousemail.com/view/?msg=ZHEZJ1AJ
that I thought you might find interesting.

What Sebastian and Ronnie said. Plus: there are multiple off-the-shelf neural 
net pull requests in the process of review, notably those by Issam Laradji for 
GSoC 2014. Extreme Learning Machines and Multilayer Perceptrons should be 
merged Real Soon Now.

neural nets are already well supported in other python libraries and don't fit 
the current transformer model that scikit-learn uses

I am not one of the core developers, just a typical user, but although I think that neural nets 
would be a nice addition, I have to admit that I wouldn't count them as top priority. I think that 
in applications, neural networks require far more flexibility for tweaking than the 
"classic" off-the-shelve learning algorithms currently implemented in scikit-learn. I 
think that it really requires a lot of planning to implement them in a way that allows a user 
certain flexibility. To me, neural nets are more of an "research tool" in contrast to the 
currently implemented algos in scikit-learn. I really would like to see some way of implementing 
frameworks for neural networks in some useful way in scikit-learn, but I can understand that it 
would really require a different API, a lot of planning, and a lot of work. Also, there are many 
attempts to implement neural nets already, like pylearn2, lasagne, and all the other theano wrappers

I used to seeking neural network algorithms in sklearn, but I just found a RBF 
in it.
There are plenty of Neural Network algorithms, why dose we only support RBF 
which is not even a typical neural network ?
I thought the neural networks should be the largest family amount sklearn 
algoritms, but it is far smaller than embedings, far smaller than SVMs.
