Through numerical simulations, the validity of the proposed method is illustrated. It is also shown that the COA algorithm is able to solve synchronization problem with high performance in stable transparent bilateral teleoperation systems.

Binary BAT algorithm and RBFN based hybrid credit scoring model

Credit scoring is a process of calculating the risk associated with an applicant on the basis of applicant’s credentials such as social status, financial status, etc. and it plays a vital role to improve cash flow for financial industry. However, the credit scoring dataset may have a large number of irrelevant or redundant features which leads to poorer classification performances and higher complexity. So, by removing redundant and irrelevant features may overcome the problem with huge number of features. This work emphasized on the role of feature selection and proposed a hybrid model by combining feature selection by utilizing Binary BAT optimization technique with a novel fitness function and aggregated with for Radial Basis Function Neural Network (RBFN) for credit score classification. Further, proposed feature selection approach is aggregated with Support Vector Machine (SVM) & Random Forest (RF), and other optimization approaches namely: Hybrid Particle Swarm Optimization and Gravitational Search Algorithm (PSOGSA), Hybrid Particle Swarm Optimization and Genetic Algorithm (PSOGA), Improved Krill Herd (IKH), Improved Cuckoo Search (ICS), Firefly Algorithm (FF) and Differential Evolution (DE) are also applied for comparative analysis.

Multi-Cohort Intelligence algorithm: an intra- and inter-group learning behaviour based socio-inspired optimisation methodology

ABSTRACT

A Multi-Cohort Intelligence (Multi-CI) metaheuristic algorithm in emerging socio-inspired optimisation domain is proposed. The algorithm implements intra-group and inter-group learning mechanisms. It focusses on the interaction amongst different cohorts. The performance of the algorithm is validated by solving 75 unconstrained test problems with dimensions up to 30. The solutions were comparing with several recent algorithms such as Particle Swarm Optimisation (PSO), Covariance Matrix Adaptation Evolution Strategy, Artificial Bee Colony, Self-Adaptive Differential Evolution Algorithm, Comprehensive Learning Particle Swarm Optimisation, Backtracking Search Optimisation Algorithm, and Ideology Algorithm. The Wilcoxon signed-rank test was carried out for the statistical analysis and verification of the performance. The proposed Multi-CI outperformed these algorithms in terms of the solution quality including objective function value and computational cost, i.e. computational time and functional evaluations. The prominent feature of the Multi-CI algorithm along with the limitations is discussed as well. In addition, an illustrative example is also solved and every detail is provided.

Differential Evolution performances for the solution of mixed-integer constrained process engineering problems

An important number of publications deal with the computational efficiency of a novel Evolutionary Algorithm called Differential Evolution (DE). However, there is still a noticeable lack of studies on DE's performance on engineering problems, which combine large-size instances, constraint-handling and mixed-integer variables issues. This paper proposes the solution by DE of process engineering problems and compares its computational performance with an exact optimization method (Branch-and-Bound) and with a Genetic Algorithm. Two analytical formulations are used to model the batch plant design problem and a set of examples gathering the three above-mentioned issues are also provided.The computational results obtained highlight the clear superiority of DE since its best found solutions always lie very close to the Branch-and-Bound optima. Moreover, for an equal number of objective function evaluations, the results repeatability was found to be much better for the DE method than for the Genetic Algorithm.

Rapid optimization of blast wave mitigation strategies using Quiet Direct Simulation and Genetic Algorithm

Presented is a rapid calculation tool for the optimization of blast wave related mitigation strategies. The motion of gas resulting from a blast wave (specified by the user) is solved by the Quiet Direct Simulation (QDS) method - a rapid kinetic theory-based finite volume method. The optimization routine employed is a newly developed Genetic Algorithm (GA) which is demonstrated to be similar to a Differential Evolution (DE) scheme with several modifications. In any Genetic Algorithm, individuals contain genetic information which is passed on to newly created individuals in successive generations. The results from unsteady QDS simulations are used to determine the individual's “genetic fitness” which is employed by the proposed Genetic Algorithm during the reproduction process. The combined QDS/GA algorithm is applied to various test cases and finally the optimization of a non-trivial blast wave mitigation strategy. Both QDS and the proposed GA are demonstrated to perform with minimal computational expense while accurately solving the optimization problems presented.     

A comparative review on mobile robot path planning: Classical or meta-heuristic methods?

The involvement of Meta-heuristic algorithms in robot motion planning has attracted the attention of researchers in the robotics community due to the simplicity of the approaches and their effectiveness in the coordination of the agents. This study explores the implementation of many meta-heuristic algorithms, e.g. Genetic Algorithm (GA), Differential Evolution (DE), Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) and Cuckoo Search Algorithm (CSA) in multiple motion planning scenarios. The study provides comparison between multiple meta-heuristic approaches against a set of well-known conventional motion planning and navigation techniques such as Dijkstra’s Algorithm (DA), Probabilistic Road Map (PRM), Rapidly Random Tree (RRT) and Potential Field (PF). Two experimental environments with difficult to manipulate layouts are used to examine the feasibility of the methods listed. several performance measures such as total travel time, number of collisions, travel distances, energy consumption and displacement errors are considered for assessing feasibility of the motion planning algorithms considered in the study. The results show the competitiveness of meta-heuristic approaches against conventional methods. Dijkstra ’s Algorithm (DA) is considered a benchmark solution and Constricted Particle Swarm Optimization (CPSO) is found performing better than other meta-heuristic approaches in unknown environments.
