Particle swarm optimization (PSO) algorithm is a robust and efficient approach for solving complex real-world problems. In this paper, a modified particle swarm algorithm (IMPSO) is introduced for unconstrained global optimization. The whole swarm is partitioned to three different sub-populations according to their fitness, and different velocity updating strategies are used to different sub-populations. Besides, we take advantage of crossover to maintain the diversity of the swarm and avoid getting into local optimum. IMPSO are extensively compared with other two modified PSO algorithms on three well-known benchmark functions with different dimensions. Experimental results show that IMPSO achieves not only better solutions but also faster convergence.

Conventional models based on crisp regions can not deal with the Direction Relations between Uncertain Regions (DRUR). Using broad boundary to represent the uncertain boundary, a novel approach is proposed based on model SK for modeling DRUR in this paper. DRUR are described as the combinations of basic cardinal direction relations, then we study the composition of DRUR, and a method is put forward for calculating this composition.

The satisfiability (SAT) problem is an important problem of automated reasoning. In the past decades, many methods of SAT are proposed, such as method based on resolution, method based on tableau and method based on extension rule. Based on the study of extension rule, we find that the SAT problem can be solved with hitting set algorithms. If we can find a hitting set of a clause set, and if there is not any pair of complementary literals in the hitting set, the clause set is satisfiable. Algorithm BHS based on Boolean algebra proposed by Jiang is an efficient hitting set algorithm. SSBF proposed in this paper is a revised algorithm of BHS that can be used to judge the satisfiability of a clause set. The test result shows that SSBF is an efficient algorithm.

The major problem in developing a useful formalism for reasoning about spatial information is the trade off between expressive power and computational tractability. Based on Bennett's modal representation of convex-hull and the RCC62 model which describes the topological relation between simple concave regions, the modal representation of RCC62 is presented in this paper, which has a theoretical advantage over 1st-order representations.

There may be many groups of candidate results after the step of candidate generation in model-based diagnosis. Hwee Tou Ng proposed the Inc-Diagnose approach to further reduce the candidate results. However, the efficiency of Inc-Diagnose may not be very good. Firstly, we give some correction of IncDiagnosis by applying it to a real example. Then, we propose an improved approach with choosing the order of measurements for incremental diagnosis. Example results show that our approach has better efficiency.

The satisfiability(SAT) problem is a core problem of artificial intelligence. Research findings in SAT are widely used in many areas. The main methods solving SAT problem are resolution principle, tableau calculus and extension rule. Besides methods mentioned above, we find that the SAT problem can be solved with hitting set algorithms. If a set of clause is satisfiable, there must be a hitting set of the clause set which containing no complementary pairs of literals. Algorithm NEYVHS-tree is an efficient hitting set algorithm proposed by Ouyang. RNHST proposed in this paper is a revised algorithm in respect of ***-tree. It judges the satisfiability of a clause set by confirming the existence of the set's hitting set without complementary pairs of literals. The test result shows that RNHST is an efficient algorithm.

For the optimization problem about triangulation of Bayesian networks, a novel genetic algorithm, DHGA, is proposed in this paper. DHGA employs a heuristic-based mutation operation. Moreover, it uses population diversity to identify stagnation and convergence as well as to guide the search procedure. Experiments on representative benchmarks show that DHGA posses better performance and robustness than other swarm intelligence methods.

We have studied the AC-4 algorithm and then present key value ordering heuristic forming the new solving algorithm BT-KVV, which is based on the AC-4 algorithm. This algorithm takes full advantage of the state information of the data structure used in the AC-4 algorithm after the process of arc consistency. The algorithm sorts the values of the variables' domain according to the key importance of the values. So this order forces the solving algorithm to give priority to extend the key values of variables. In this way, the efficiency of the solving algorithm can be improved a lot. The result of our experiments shows that our algorithm has much more advantage over other solving algorithms.

Essential graph is a graphical representation for Markov equivalence classes of Bayesian networks. Learning essential graph can avoid some problems in traditional Bayesian networks learning algorithms: (1) the number of illegal structures is exponential, which infect the efficiency of structure learning;(2) comparing the structures in same equivalent class slow down the speed of convergence;(3) if the prior distribution for each structure is equal, the more structures contain in the equivalent class the higher prior probability of the class has. This paper employs two competitive bio-inspired algorithms, immune algorithm and co-evolutionary algorithm, for learning Essential graph. The algorithm combines dependency analysis and search-scoring approach together. Experiments show that the searching space was decreased, compare with prior works, the convergence speed and the efficiency was improved.
