## Abstract (arXiv)

Random Vector Functional Link (RVFL) networks provide an efficient randomized learning framework for classification. Existing multi-view RVFL methods utilize complementary information from multiple views. However, preserving view-specific geometric structure, limiting the influence of large prediction residuals, and modeling relationships between multiple views remain challenging. This paper proposes a Residual-Coupled Graph-Embedded Multi-View RVFL model with fleXi guardian loss (XGRVFL-MV) for multi-view classification. The proposed model constructs RVFL representation for each view, incorporates graph embedding with intrinsic and penalty graphs constructed using the Local Fisher Discriminant Analysis weighting scheme. It also uses the bounded and asymmetric FleXi Guardian (XG) loss for residual learning. A residual-coupling term is introduced to encourage consistency among view-specific prediction residuals while preserving view-specific representations. The resulting optimization problem is solved using an inversion-free first-order optimization procedure based on Nesterov accelerated gradient descent. We evaluate the proposed model on UCI, KEEL, AwA, and Corel5k benchmark datasets. Experimental results, together with statistical analyses and hyperparameter sensitivity analyses, show that XGRVFL-MV achieves competitive classification performance compared with the baseline methods across the evaluated benchmark datasets.
