Tribal particle swarm optimization for neurofuzzy inference systems and its prediction applications

This study presents tribal particle swarm optimization (TPSO) to optimize the parameters of the functional-link-based neurofuzzy inference system (FLNIS) for prediction applications. The proposed TPSO uses particle swarm optimization (PSO) as evolution strategies of the tribes optimization algorithm (TOA) to balance local and global exploration of the search space. The proposed TPSO uses a self-clustering algorithm to divide the particle swarm into multiple tribes, and selects suitable evolution strategies to update each particle. The TPSO also uses a tribal adaptation mechanism to remove and generate particles and reconstruct tribal links. The tribal adaptation mechanism can improve the qualities of the tribe and the tribe adaptation. Finally, the FLNIS model with the proposed TPSO (FLNIS-TPSO) was used in several predictive applications. Experimental results demonstrated that the proposed TPSO method converges quickly and yields a lower RMS error than other current methods.     

Particle swarm optimization with age-group topology for multimodal functions and data clustering

This paper proposes particle swarm optimization with age-group topology (PSOAG), a novel age-based particle swarm optimization (PSO). In this work, we present a new concept of age to measure the search ability of each particle in local area. To keep population diversity during searching, we separate particles to different age-groups by their age and particles in each age-group can only select the ones in younger groups or their own groups as their neighbourhoods. To allow search escape from local optima, the aging particles are regularly replaced by new and randomly generated ones. In addition, we design an age-group based parameter setting method, where particles in different age-groups have different parameters, to accelerate convergence. This algorithm is applied to nonlinear function optimization and data clustering problems for performance evaluation. In comparison against several PSO variants and other EAs, we find that the proposed algorithm provides significantly better performances on both the function optimization problems and the data clustering tasks.     

A novel particle swarm optimization algorithm based on particle migration

Inspired by the migratory behavior in the nature, a novel particle swarm optimization algorithm based on particle migration (MPSO) is proposed in this work. In this new algorithm, the population is randomly partitioned into several sub-swarms, each of which is made to evolve based on particle swarm optimization with time varying inertia weight and acceleration coefficients (LPSO-TVAC). At periodic stage in the evolution, some particles migrate from one complex to another to enhance the diversity of the population and avoid premature convergence. It further improves the ability of exploration and exploitation. Simulations for benchmark test functions illustrate that the proposed algorithm possesses better ability to find the global optima than other variants and is an effective global optimization tool.

Balanced fuzzy particle swarm optimization

In the present study an extension of particle swarm optimization (PSO) algorithm which is in conformity with actual nature is introduced for solving combinatorial optimization problems. Development of this algorithm is essentially based on balanced fuzzy sets theory. The classical fuzzy sets theory cannot distinguish differences between positive and negative information of membership functions, while in the new method both kinds of information “positive and negative” about membership function are equally important. The balanced fuzzy particle swarm optimization algorithm is used for fundamental optimization problem entitled traveling salesman problem (TSP). For convergence inspecting of new algorithm, method was used for TSP problems. Convergence curves were represented fast convergence in restricted and low iterations for balanced fuzzy particle swarm optimization algorithm (BF-PSO) comparison with fuzzy particle swarm optimization algorithm (F-PSO).     

A rank based particle swarm optimization algorithm with dynamic adaptation

The particle swarm optimization (PSO) technique is a powerful stochastic evolutionary algorithm that can be used to find the global optimum solution in a complex search space. This paper presents a variation on the standard PSO algorithm called the rank based particle swarm optimizer, or PSO_rank, employing cooperative behavior of the particles to significantly improve the performance of the original algorithm. In this method, in order to efficiently control the local search and convergence to global optimum solution, the γ best particles are taken to contribute to the updating of the position of a candidate particle. The contribution of each particle is proportional to its strength. The strength is a function of three parameters: strivness, immediacy and number of contributed particles. All particles are sorted according to their fitness values, and only the γ best particles will be selected. The value of γ decreases linearly as the iteration increases. A time-varying inertia weight decreasing non-linearly is introduced to improve the performance. PSO_rank is tested on a commonly used set of optimization problems and is compared to other variants of the PSO algorithm presented in the literature. As a real application, PSO_rank is used for neural network training. The PSO_rank strategy outperformed all the methods considered in this investigation for most of the functions. Experimental results show the suitability of the proposed algorithm in terms of effectiveness and robustness.

Enhanced speciation in particle swarm optimization for multi-modal problems

In this paper, we present a novel multi-modal optimization algorithm for finding multiple local optima in objective function surfaces. We build from Species-based particle swarm optimization (SPSO) by using deterministic sampling to generate new particles during the optimization process, by implementing proximity-based speciation coupled with speciation of isolated particles, and by including “turbulence regions” around already found solutions to prevent unnecessary function evaluations. Instead of using error threshold values, the new algorithm uses the particle’s experience, geometric mean, and “exclusion factor” to detect local optima and stop the algorithm. The performance of each extension is assessed with leave-it-out tests, and the results are discussed. We use the new algorithm called Isolated-Speciation-based particle swarm optimization (ISPSO) and a benchmark algorithm called Niche particle swarm optimization (NichePSO) to solve a six-dimensional rainfall characterization problem for 192 rain gages across the United States. We show why it is important to find multiple local optima for solving this real-world complex problem by discussing its high multi-modality. Solutions found by both algorithms are compared, and we conclude that ISPSO is more reliable than NichePSO at finding optima with a significantly lower objective function value.     

An efficient multi-objective PSO algorithm assisted by Kriging metamodel for expensive black-box problems

The huge computational overhead is the main challenge in the application of community based optimization methods, such as multi-objective particle swarm optimization and multi-objective genetic algorithm, to deal with the multi-objective optimization involving costly simulations. This paper proposes a Kriging metamodel assisted multi-objective particle swarm optimization method to solve this kind of expensively black-box multi-objective optimization problems. On the basis of crowding distance based multi-objective particle swarm optimization algorithm, the new proposed method constructs Kriging metamodel for each expensive objective function adaptively, and then the non-dominated solutions of the metamodels are utilized to guide the update of particle population. To reduce the computational cost, the generalized expected improvements of each particle predicted by metamodels are presented to determine which particles need to perform actual function evaluations. The suggested method is tested on 12 benchmark functions and compared with the original crowding distance based multi-objective particle swarm optimization algorithm and non-dominated sorting genetic algorithm-II algorithm. The test results show that the application of Kriging metamodel improves the search ability and reduces the number of evaluations. Additionally, the new proposed method is applied to the optimal design of a cycloid gear pump and achieves desirable results.
