Abstract For optimization algorithms, the most important consideration is their global optimization performance. Our research is conducted with the hope that the algorithm can robustly find the optimal solution to the target problem at a lower computational cost or faster speed. For stochastic optimization algorithms based on population search methods, the search speed and solution quality are always contradictory. Suppose that the random range of the group search is larger; in that case, the probability of the algorithm converging to the global optimal solution is also greater, but the search speed will inevitably slow. The smaller… More >

Abstract Feature selection (FS) is essential in machine learning (ML) and data mapping by its ability to preprocess high-dimensional data. By selecting a subset of relevant features, feature selection cuts down on the dimension of the data. It excludes irrelevant or surplus features, thus boosting the performance and efficiency of the model. Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) boasts a streamlined algorithmic framework and exhibits rapid convergence traits. Compared with other algorithms, it incurs reduced computational expenses when tackling high-dimensional datasets. However, PSO faces challenges like inadequate convergence precision. Therefore, regarding FS problems, this paper presents a binary… More >

Abstract In recent years, particle swarm optimization (PSO) has received widespread attention in feature selection due to its simplicity and potential for global search. However, in traditional PSO, particles primarily update based on two extreme values: personal best and global best, which limits the diversity of information. Ideally, particles should learn from multiple advantageous particles to enhance interactivity and optimization efficiency. Accordingly, this paper proposes a PSO that simulates the evolutionary dynamics of species survival in mountain peak ecology (PEPSO) for feature selection. Based on the pyramid topology, the algorithm simulates the features of mountain peak… More >

Abstract The wireless signals emitted by base stations serve as a vital link connecting people in today’s society and have been occupying an increasingly important role in real life. The development of the Internet of Things (IoT) relies on the support of base stations, which provide a solid foundation for achieving a more intelligent way of living. In a specific area, achieving higher signal coverage with fewer base stations has become an urgent problem. Therefore, this article focuses on the effective coverage area of base station signals and proposes a novel Evolutionary Particle Swarm Optimization (EPSO)… More >

Abstract The multi-objective particle swarm optimization algorithm (MOPSO) is widely used to solve multi-objective optimization problems. In the article, a multi-objective particle swarm optimization algorithm based on decomposition and multi-selection strategy is proposed to improve the search efficiency. First, two update strategies based on decomposition are used to update the evolving population and external archive, respectively. Second, a multi-selection strategy is designed. The first strategy is for the subspace without a non-dominated solution. Among the neighbor particles, the particle with the smallest penalty-based boundary intersection value is selected as the global optimal solution and the particle… More >

Abstract Prediction of stability in SG (Smart Grid) is essential in maintaining consistency and reliability of power supply in grid infrastructure. Analyzing the fluctuations in power generation and consumption patterns of smart cities assists in effectively managing continuous power supply in the grid. It also possesses a better impact on averting overloading and permitting effective energy storage. Even though many traditional techniques have predicted the consumption rate for preserving stability, enhancement is required in prediction measures with minimized loss. To overcome the complications in existing studies, this paper intends to predict stability from the smart grid… More >

Abstract Schizophrenia is a severe mental illness responsible for many of the world’s disabilities. It significantly impacts human society; thus, rapid, and efficient identification is required. This research aims to diagnose schizophrenia directly from a high-resolution camera, which can capture the subtle micro facial expressions that are difficult to spot with the help of the naked eye. In a clinical study by a team of experts at Bahawal Victoria Hospital (BVH), Bahawalpur, Pakistan, there were 300 people with schizophrenia and 299 healthy subjects. Videos of these participants have been captured and converted into their frames using… More >

Abstract In this study, the combination of the Method of Fundamental Solutions (MFS) and the Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) is proposed to accurately and stably analyze the multi-dimensional diffusion equations. The MFS, truly free from mesh generation and numerical quadrature, is one of the most promising meshless methods. In the implementation of the MFS, only field points and sources, which are located out of the computational domain, are required. The numerical solutions of the MFS is expressed as a linear combination of diffusion fundamental solutions with different strengths. The unknown coefficients in the solution expressions can… More >
