Grey wolf optimization (GWO) algorithm is a recent addition to the field of swarm intelligent algorithms. The algorithm is based on the hunting pattern and leadership quality of grey wolfs present in nature. In this paper, to improve the working capabilities of GWO, a new version of GWO namely enhanced GWO (EGWO) has been proposed. The proposed version has been tested on standard benchmark problems to prove its competitiveness with respect to standard state-of-art algorithms. Experimental results show that EGWO is highly competitive and provide better convergence with respect to bat algorithm (BA), flower pollination algorithm (FPA), firefly algorithm (FA), bat flower pollinator (BFP) and GWO. Further convergence profiles validate the superior performance of EGWO.

The precise prediction of tourism demand has long presented a challenge for both tourism professionals and academics. Tourist volume forecasting is a nonlinear problem, support vector regression (SVR) can approximate a nonlinear system with enough precision, but parameters tuning has always been an obstacle to developing SVR with good generalization potential. Furthermore, previous research mainly used historical observations of tourism demand as the inputs of SVR. This study introduces an approach that hybridizes SVR with the bat algorithm (BA), namely BA-SVR, to forecast tourist volume by incorporating search engine data. In this model, BA is used to adjust the SVR parameters. To validate our proposed approach, tourist volume data for China's Hainan province from August 2008 to October 2015 were used in conjunction with corresponding search engine data as numerical examples. The 12-month simulation forecasts indicate that the BA-SVR is an effective method that can outperform its traditional counterparts.

The optimal capacitor allocation in electricity distribution networks (EDN) plays a meaningful role in voltage profile improvement, power factor amelioration and also power losses minimization. This work presents two comprehensive optimization algorithms based on metaheuristics as a comparison to solve the capacitor allocation problem in modern distribution networks. Thus, the problem of optimal capacitor allocation for active power losses minimization was solved using the bat and fireworks algorithms. In order to validate and demonstrate the feasibility of the proposed approach, a modern distribution network was tested and the results obtained in MATLAB implementations of the two proposed metaheuristics were compared. The results confirm that the proposed optimization algorithms show a good efficiency and robustness having high performance both for minimizing the EDN power losses and voltage profile improvement.

Amongst diverse cancers, lung cancer is measured to be the foremost reason of cancer demise with utmost demise pace. Nodules lying on lungs have distinct structures, they could be either circle or coil shaped which under various circumstances composes the recognition complex. In this work a system has been urbanized for detection of lung cancer in its early stages and classification between malignant and benign tumors via images from Computerized Tomography (CT) scanner. Lung cancer detection process has four steps which include pre-processing phase, segmentation, feature extraction and lung cancer cell classification. bat algorithm is applied to provide considerable optimization results which improve the performance of system. The classification between malignant nodules and benign has been done through Artificial Neural Network Ensemble to provide results of higher accuracy. The overall accuracy, sensitivity and specificity of 98.5%, 100% and 91% respectively is acquired in the system.

Partial shade and mismatching among PV modules in a PV system are common phenomenon caused by trees, passing clouds, manufacturing tolerances, etc. Due to mismatching/partial shading, the P-V characteristic curve usually comprises of multiple local and a global peak. To extract the maximum energy, usually three techniques are proposed. The first one and widely used is to use central MPPT technique (use of by-pass diodes) to track the global peak, the second is use of distributed per module/sub-module MPPT (DMPPT) and the third is reconfiguration of modules in an array. The second and third options can increase the extracted PV power. However, the increase in cost and implementation complexity and control are some of the challenges of the techniques. In this paper, performance evaluation of by-pass diode and DMPPT per module technique for PV system under partial shade has been done.

Firefly algorithm (FA) is a recently introduced algorithm based upon the flashing light pattern of fireflies. This algorithm has proved its significance for various optimization problems but has the problem of trapping in local optima.

This paper applies cuckoo search and bat metaheuristic algorithms to solve two-dimensional non-guillotine rectangle packing problem. These algorithms have not been found to be used before in the literature to solve this important industrial problem. The purpose of this work is to explore the potential of these new metaheuristic methods and to check whether they can contribute in enhancing the performance of this problem. Standard benchmark test data has been used to solve the problem. The performance of these algorithms was measured and compared with genetic algorithm and tabu search techniques which can be found to be used widely in the literature to solve this problem. Good optimal solutions were obtained from all the techniques and the new metaheuristic algorithms performed better than genetic algorithm and tabu search. It was seen that cuckoo search algorithm excels in performance as compared to the other techniques.

The Levenberg-Marquardt (LM) gradient descent algorithm is used extensively for the training of Artificial Neural Networks (ANN) in the literature, despite its limitations, such as susceptibility to the local minima that undermine its robustness. In this paper, a bio-inspired algorithm referring to the bat algorithm was proposed for training the ANN, to deviate from the limitations of the LM. The proposed bat algorithm-based LM (BALM) was simulated on 10 benchmark datasets. For evaluation of the proposed BALM, comparative simulation experiments were conducted. The experimental results indicated that the BALM was found to deviate from the limitations of the LM to advance the accuracy and convergence speed of the ANN. Also, the BALM performs better than the back-propagation algorithm, artificial bee colony trained back-propagation ANN, and artificial bee colony trained LM ANN. The results of this research provide an alternative ANN training algorithm that can be used by researchers and industries to solve complex real-world problems across numerous domains of applications.

A new metaheuristic approach is presented to discover transition rules for a cellular automaton (CA) model using a novel bat movement algorithm (BA). CA is capable of simulating the evolution of complex geographical phenomena, and transition rules lie at the core of these models. An intelligence algorithm based on the echolocation behavior of bats is used to discover explicit transition rules for use in simulating urban expansion. CA transition rules are formed by links between attribute constraint items and classification items. The transition rules are derived using the BA to optimize the lower and upper threshold values for each attribute. The BA-CA model is then constructed for the simulation of urban expansion observed for Nanjing City, China. The total accuracy of newly formulated BA-CA model for this application is 86.9%, and the kappa coefficient is 0.736, which strongly suggest that the interactions of bats are effective in capturing the relationships between spatial variables and urban dynamics. It is further demonstrated that this bat-inspired BA-CA model performs better than the null model, the particle swarm optimization-based CA model (PSO-CA), and the ant colony optimization-based CA model (ACO-CA) using the same dataset. The model validation and comparison illustrate the novel capability of BA for discovering transition rules of CA during the simulation of urban expansion and potentially for other geographic phenomena.
