RoBell-RVFL is a lightweight, quality‑aware generalized bell random vector functional link network designed to address class imbalance and noisy data in real‑world datasets. It uses a dual‑strategy sample‑level weighting: unit weights preserve minority class information, while a probability‑weighted generalized bell membership function suppresses noisy majority samples in a kernel‑induced feature space. Experiments on UCI and KEEL benchmarks, including tests with up to 40% label noise, show that RoBell‑RVFL consistently outperforms recent RVFL variants, demonstrating the importance of adaptive, quality‑aware sample weighting for robust learning.

The paper introduces soft‑label‑based estimators for the Bayes‑optimal balanced error rate (BER) and area under the ROC curve (AUC), extending from a clean setting with known class priors to a realistic scenario with unknown priors and corrupted soft labels. It also adapts the FeeBee evaluation framework to assess these estimators without needing the true optimum, providing practical evaluation scores for any estimator of optimal BER or AUC. Experiments on synthetic and real datasets confirm the effectiveness of both the estimators and the evaluation method.
