Circles packing problem with equilibrium constraints is difficult to solve due to its NP-hard nature. Aiming at this NP-hard problem, three swarm intelligence algorithms are employed to solve this problem. Particle swarm Optimization and Ant Colony Optimization has been used for the circular packing problem with equilibrium constraints. In this paper, Artificial Bee Colony Algorithm (ABC) for equilibrium constraints circular packing problem is presented. Then we compare the performances of well-known swarm intelligence algorithms (PSO, ACO, ABC) for this problem. The results of experiment show that ABC is comparatively satisfying because of its stability and applicability.

Parameter settings for nature-inspired optimization algorithms are essential for their effective performance. Evolutionary algorithms and swarm intelligence algorithms are prominent types of nature-inspired optimization. There are comprehensive reviews of parameter setting techniques for evolutionary algorithms. Counterparts providing an overview of parameter setting techniques for swarm intelligence algorithms are needed also. Therefore, in this paper, we provide a critical and comprehensive review, focusing in particular on dynamic parameter setting techniques. The paper describes a variety of swarm intelligence algorithms and parameter setting approaches that have been applied to them. This review simplifies the selection of parameter setting techniques for each algorithm by collecting them in a single document and classifying them under a taxonomy. Recommendations for parameter setting approach selection are provided in this review. We explore the open problems related to dynamic parameter setting techniques for swarmintelligence optimization and discuss the trade-off between run-time computation and flexibility of these algorithms.

The interest in non parametric statistical analysis has grown recently in the field of computational intelligence. In many experimental studies, the lack of the required properties for a proper application of parametric procedures - independence, normality, and homoscedasticity - yields to nonparametric ones the task of performing a rigorous comparison among algorithms. In this paper, we will discuss the basics and give a survey of a complete set of nonparametric procedures developed to perform both pairwise and multiple comparisons, for multi-problem analysis. The test problems of the CEC'2005 special session on real parameter optimization will help to illustrate the use of the tests throughout this tutorial, analyzing the results of a set of well-known evolutionary and swarm intelligence algorithms. This tutorial is concluded with a compilation of considerations and recommendations, which will guide practitioners when using these tests to contrast their experimental results.

The identification of structural damage with the unavailability of input excitations is highly desired but challenging since structural dynamic responses are affected by the coupling effect of structural parameters and external excitations. To deal with this issue, in this paper, an output-only damage identification strategy based on swarm intelligence algorithms and correlation functions of strain responses is proposed to identify structures subjected to single or multiple unknown white noise excitations. In the proposed strategy, four different population-based optimization algorithms-particle swarm optimization, the butterfly optimization algorithm, the tree seed algorithm, and a micro search Jaya (MS-Jaya)-are employed and compared. The micro search mechanism is integrated into a basic Jaya algorithm to improve its computational efficiency and accuracy by eliminating some damage variables with small values for the identified best solution after several iterations. The objective function is established based on the proposed auto/cross-correlation function of strain responses and a penalty function. The effectiveness of the proposed method is verified with numerical studies on a simply supported beam structure and a steel grid benchmark structure under ambient excitation. In addition, the effect of the reference point, number of sensors, and arrangement of strain gauges on the performance of the proposed method are discussed in detail. The investigated results demonstrate that the proposed approach can accurately detect, locate, and quantify structural damage with limited sensors and 20% noise-polluted strain responses. In particular, the proposed MS-Jaya algorithm presents a more superior capacity in solving the optimization-based damage identification problem than the other three algorithms.

This paper aims to predict the financial time series. swarm intelligence algorithms usually use metadata to ensure objectivity without the statistical assumptions of the data. This paper proposed a prediction algorithm integrating multiple support vector regression (SVR) models. The algorithm selects different datasets to train these SVR models. This algorithm also adopts reasonable weights to combine the forecasting results of multiple models to reduce the overall prediction error. The weight of each model is dynamically adjusted according to its recent prediction accuracy. Therefore, this algorithm is adaptive and can deal with nonstationary problems. Five international authoritative stock indexes are used to compare the hybrid SVR model with a single SVR model for performance validation from the perspectives of normalized mean squared error, weighted directional symmetry, and root mean squared error. The results demonstrate that the hybrid SVR model has significantly improved the prediction accuracy and generalization ability of the prediction algorithm compared with a single SVR model. It reveals that selecting the appropriate input vector can achieve an excellent prediction effect.

swarmintelligence (SI) algorithms are frequently applied to tackle complex optimization problems. SI is especially used when good solutions are requested for NP hard problems within a reasonable response time. And when such problems possess a very high dimensionality, a dynamic nature, or present intrinsic complex intertwined independent variables, computational costs for SI algorithms may still be too high. Therefore, new approaches and hardware support are needed to speed up processing. Nowadays, with the popularization of GPU and multi-core processing, parallel versions of SI algorithms can provide the required performance on those though problems. This paper aims to describe the state of the art of such approaches, to summarize the key points addressed, and also to identify the research gaps that could be addressed better. The scope of this review considers recent papers mainly focusing on parallel implementations of the most frequently used SI algorithms. The use of nested parallelism is of particular interest, since one level of parallelism is often not sufficient to exploit the computational power of contemporary parallel hardware. The sources were main scientific databases and filtered accordingly to the set requirements of this literature review.

Text document clustering refers to the unsupervised classification of textual documents into clusters based on content similarity and can be applied in applications such as search optimization and extracting hidden information from data generated by IoT sensors. swarmintelligence (SI) algorithms use stochastic and heuristic principles that include simple and unintelligent individuals that follow some simple rules to accomplish very complex tasks. By mapping features of problems to parameters of SI algorithms, SI algorithms can achieve solutions in a flexible, robust, decentralized, and self-organized manner. Compared to traditional clustering algorithms, these solving mechanisms make swarmalgorithms suitable for resolving complex document clustering problems. However, each SI algorithm shows a different performance based on its own strengths and weaknesses. In this paper, to find the best performing SI algorithm in text document clustering, we performed a comparative study for the PSO, bat, grey wolf optimization (GWO), and K-means algorithms using six data sets of various sizes, which were created from BBC Sport news and 20 newsgroups. Based on our experimental results, we discuss the features of a document clustering problem with the nature of SI algorithms and conclude that the PSO and GWO SI algorithms are better than K-means, and among those algorithms, the PSO performs best in terms of finding the optimal solution.

This work deals with estimation of the Schottky diode (Au|GaN|GaAs) optimal parameters. For this purpose, advanced swarmintelligence (SI) algorithms have been applied, i.e., Harris hawks optimization, ant lion optimizer (ALO), grey wolf optimizer, and whale optimization algorithm. The performance of the SI algorithms has been investigated by a comparative study following the analytical methods developed by Kaminski I, Cheung and Cheung, Norde, and Mikhelashvili. The comparative results show that the ALO algorithm gives minimum RMSE criteria, with best parameters estimation against all the SI optimizers and the analytical techniques.
