Anton Akusok

Anton Akusok is a Part-time Lecturer in the Big Data Analytics Master's program at Arcada University of Applied Sciences. He holds a BSc in IT from Moscow (2011), MSc in ML and Data from Aalto University (2014), and a DSc in ML from the University of Iowa, USA (2016). His research focuses on Extreme Learning Machines (ELM), hardware acceleration for ML on mobile devices, and real-time geospatial predictions. He has developed libraries like HPELM and Scikit-ELM, and created the HaSuRiski app for acid sulfate soil prediction in Finland.

Research Interests: ELM applications in environmental modeling, federated learning security, mobile edge computing, and geospatial visualization. Key projects include real-time mapping apps with iOS integration and open-source ML tools.

Publications (2021-2024) highlight work on federated learning privacy, acid sulfate soil detection, signature verification, and distributed ELM algorithms.
