Abstract To solve the problem of slow convergence and easy to get into the local optimum of the spider monkey optimization algorithm, this paper presents a new algorithm based on multi-strategy (ISMO). First, the initial population is generated by a refracted opposition-based learning strategy to enhance diversity and ergodicity. Second, this paper introduces a non-linear adaptive dynamic weight factor to improve convergence efficiency. Then, using the crisscross strategy, using the horizontal crossover to enhance the global search and vertical crossover to keep the diversity of the population to avoid being trapped in the local optimum. At last, we adopt a Gauss-Cauchy… More >

Abstract Gorilla troops optimizer (GTO) is a newly developed meta-heuristic algorithm, which is inspired by the collective lifestyle and social intelligence of gorillas. Similar to other metaheuristics, the convergence accuracy and stability of GTO will deteriorate when the optimization problems to be solved become more complex and flexible. To overcome these defects and achieve better performance, this paper proposes an improved gorilla troops optimizer (IGTO). First, Circle chaotic mapping is introduced to initialize the positions of gorillas, which facilitates the population diversity and establishes a good foundation for global search. Then, in order to avoid getting trapped in the local optimum,… More >

Abstract There is a growing interest in the study development of artificial intelligence and machine learning, especially regarding the support vector machine pattern classification method. This study proposes an enhanced implementation of the well-known whale optimisation algorithm, which combines chaotic and opposition-based learning strategies, which is adopted for hyper-parameter optimisation and feature selection machine learning challenges. The whale optimisation algorithm is a relatively recent addition to the group of swarm intelligence algorithms commonly used for optimisation. The Proposed improved whale optimisation algorithm was first tested for standard unconstrained CEC2017 benchmark suite and it was later adapted for simultaneous feature selection and… More >

Abstract Adaptive Cross-Generation Differential Evolution (ACGDE) is a recently-introduced algorithm for solving multiobjective problems with remarkable performance compared to other evolutionary algorithms (EAs). However, its convergence and diversity are not satisfactory compared with the latest algorithms. In order to adapt to the current environment, ACGDE requires improvements in many aspects, such as its initialization and mutant operator. In this paper, an enhanced version is proposed, namely SIACGDE. It incorporates a strengthened initialization strategy and optimized parameters in contrast to its predecessor. These improvements make the direction of crossgeneration mutation more clearly and the ability of searching more efficiently. The experiments show… More >
