Evolutionary computing-based cultural algorithm (CA) has been developed for anchor-assisted, range-based, multi-stage localization of sensor nodes of wireless sensor networks (WSNs). The results of CA-based localization have been compared with those of swarm intelligence-based algorithms, namely the artificial bee colony algorithm and the particle swarm optimization algorithm. The algorithms have been compared in terms of mean localization error and computing time. The simulation results show that the CA performs the localization in a more accurate manner and at a higher speed than the other two algorithms.

The cultural algorithm, as a dual-inheritance framework designed for optimization problems, can incorporate any population-adopted evolutionary computation technique in its population space. On the other hand, based on the Five-Elements Cycle Model derived from the ancient Chinese Five Elements (metal, wood, water, fire, earth) theory, the five-elements cycle optimization algorithm was proved to be effective in solving continuous function optimization problems. In this work, we propose a multi-objective cultural algorithm with a five-elements-cycle-optimization-based population space, where the five-element cycle model is adopted as the evolution scheme in the population space of the cultural algorithm framework. Simulation results on 12 classic benchmark problems show that the proposed algorithm can effectively solve continuous optimization functions and obtains satisfactory non-dominated solutions compared with 8 representative multi-objective algorithms.

The proliferation of fake news on social media sites is a serious problem with documented negative impacts on individuals and organizations. A fake news item is usually created by manipulating photos, text, or videos that indicate the need for multimodal detection. Researchers are building detection algorithms with an aim for high accuracy as this will have a massive impact on the prevailing social and political issues. A shortcoming of existing strategies for identifying fake news is their inability to learn a feature representation of multimodal (textual+visual) information. In this paper, we present a novel approach using a cultural algorithm with situational and normative knowledge to detect fake news using both text and images. An extensive set of experiments have been carried out on real-world multimedia datasets collected from Weibo and Twitter. The proposed method outperforms the state-of-the-art methods for identifying fake news in terms of accuracy by 9% on average.

The accurate prediction of annual electricity consumption is crucial in managing energy operations. The neural network (NN) has achieved a lot of achievements in yearly electricity consumption prediction due to its universal approximation property. However, the well-known back-propagation (BP) algorithms for training NN has easily got stuck in local optima. In this paper, we study the weights initialization of NN for the prediction of annual electricity consumption using the cultural algorithm (CA), and the proposed algorithm is named as NN-CA. The NN-CA was compared to the weights initialization using the other six metaheuristic algorithms as well as the BP. The experiments were conducted on the annual electricity consumption datasets taken from 21 countries. The experimental results showed that the proposed NN-CA achieved more productive and better prediction accuracy than other competitors. This result indicates the possible consequences of the proposed NN-CA in the application of annual electricity consumption prediction.

The proliferation of fake news on social media sites is a serious problem with documented negative impacts on individuals and organizations. This makes detection of fake news an extremely important challenge. A fake news item is usually created by manipulating photos, text or videos that indicate the need for multimodal detection. Researchers are building detection algorithms with the aim of high accuracy as this will have a massive impact on the prevailing social and political issues. A shortcoming of existing strategies for identifying fake news is their inability to learn a feature representation of multimodal (textual+visual) information. In this thesis research, we present a novel approach using a cultural algorithm with situational and normative knowledge to detect fake news using both text and images. The proposed model's principal innovation is to use the power of natural language processing like sentiment analysis, segmentation process for feature extraction, and optimizing it with a cultural algorithm. Then the representations from both modalities are fused, which is finally used for classification. An extensive set of experiments is carried out on real-world multimedia datasets collected from Weibo and Twitter. The proposed method outperforms the state-of-the-art methods for identifying fake news.

In this article, a new hybrid algorithm is proposed which was based on the elephant herding optimization (EHO) and cultural algorithm (CA), known as elephant herding optimization cultural (EHOC) algorithm. In this process, the belief space defined by the cultural algorithm was used to improve the standard EHO. EHO is motivated by herding behavior of the elephant groups. These behaviors are modeled into two operators including clan updating operator and separating operator. In EHOC, based on belief space, the separating operator is defined, which is able to create new local optimums in search space, to improve the algorithm search ability and to create an algorithm with an optimal exploration-exploitation balance. The CA, EHO, and EHOC algorithms are applied to eight mathematical optimization problems and four truss weight minimization problems, and to assess the performance of the proposed algorithm, the results are compared. The results clearly indicate that EHOC is capable of accelerating the convergence rate effectively and can develop better solutions compared to the CA and EHO. In addition, it can produce competitive results in comparison with other metaheuristic algorithms in the literature.

Excessive consumption of energy in cloud data centers whose number is increasing day by day has led to substantial problems. Hence, offering efficient schemes for virtual machine (VM) placement to decrease energy consumption in cloud computing environments has become a significant research field in recent years. In this paper, with the goal of reducing energy consumption in cloud data centers, we present a VM placement method using the cultural algorithm. In the proposed algorithm called balance-based cultural algorithm for virtual machine placement (BCAVMP), a new fitness function is introduced to evaluate VM allocation solutions. In this function, by using the sum of balance vector lengths for each VM placement, balanced utilization of resources is considered. Also, by applying the amount of energy usage in the fitness function, solutions with lower energy consumption are intended. The performance of the proposed method is evaluated using CloudSim simulator. The simulation results indicate that by appropriate VM assignment and resource wastage reduction, energy consumption in cloud data centers can be decreased.

Clustering-based optimal cluster head selection in wireless sensor networks (WSNs) is considered as the efficient technique essential for improving the network lifetime. But enforcing optimal cluster head selection based on energy stabilization, reduced delay, and minimized distance between sensor nodes always remain a crucial challenge for prolonging the network lifetime in WSNs. In this paper, a hybrid elephant herding optimization and cultural algorithm for optimal cluster head selection (HEHO-CA-OCHS) scheme is proposed to extend the lifetime. This proposed HEHO-CA-OCHS scheme utilizes the merits of belief space framed by the cultural algorithm for defining a separating operator that is potent in constructing new local optimal solutions in the search space. Further, the inclusion of belief space aids in maintaining the balance between an optimal exploitation and exploration process with enhanced search capabilities under optimal cluster head selection. This proposed HEHO-CA-OCHS scheme improves the characteristic properties of the algorithm by incorporating separating and clan updating operators for effective selection of cluster head with the view to increase the lifetime of the network. The simulation results of the proposed HEHO-CA-OCHS scheme were estimated to be superior in percentage of alive nodes by 11.21%, percentage of dead nodes by 13.84%, residual energy by 16.38%, throughput by 13.94%, and network lifetime by 19.42% compared to the benchmarked cluster head selection schemes.

Recommendation systems for online marketing often rely on users' ratings to evaluate the similarity between users in Collaborative Filtering (CF) recommender systems. This paper applies knowledge-based evolutionary optimization algorithms called cultural algorithms (CA) to evaluate the similarity between users. To deal with the sparsity of data, we combine CF with a trust network between users. The trust network is then clustered using Singular Value Decomposition (SVD) which helps to discover the top neighbors' trust value. By incorporating trust relationships with CF, we predict the rating by each user on a given item. This study uses the Epinions dataset in order to train and test the accuracy of the results of the approach. The results are then compared against those produced by Genetic algorithms (GA), Cosine, and Pearson Correlation Coefficient (PCC) methods. The comparison of the results suggests that the proposed algorithm outperforms the other similarity functions.

The importance of dynamic multi-objective optimization problems (DMOPs) is on the rise, in complex systems. DMOPs have several objective functions and constraints that vary over time to be considered simultaneously. As a result, the Pareto optimal solutions (POS) and Pareto front (PF) will also vary with time. The desired algorithm should not only locate the optima but also track the moving optima efficiently. In this paper, we propose a new cultural algorithm (CA) based on decomposition (CA/D). The primary objective of the CA/D algorithm is to decompose DMOP into several scalar optimization subproblems and solve simultaneously. The subproblems are optimized utilizing the information shared only by its neighboring problems. The proposed CA/D is evaluated using CEC 2015 optimization benchmark functions. The results show that CA/D outperforms CA, Multi-population CA (MPCA), and MPCA incorporating game strategies (MPCA-GS), particularly in hybrid and composite benchmark problems.
