Abstract Metaheuristic optimization methods are iterative search processes that aim to efficiently solve complex optimization problems. These basically find the solution space very efficiently, often without utilizing the gradient information, and are inspired by the bio-inspired and socially motivated heuristics. Metaheuristic optimization algorithms are increasingly applied to complex feature selection problems in high-dimensional medical datasets. Among these, Teaching-Learning-Based optimization (TLBO) has proven effective for continuous design tasks by balancing exploration and exploitation phases. However, its binary version (BTLBO) suffers from limited exploitation ability, often converging prematurely or getting trapped in local optima, particularly when applied to… More >

Abstract For training the present Neural Network (NN) models, the standard technique is to utilize decaying Learning Rates (LR). While the majority of these techniques commence with a large LR, they will decay multiple times over time. Decaying has been proved to enhance generalization as well as optimization. Other parameters, such as the network’s size, the number of hidden layers, dropouts to avoid overfitting, batch size, and so on, are solely based on heuristics. This work has proposed Adaptive Teaching Learning Based (ATLB) Heuristic to identify the optimal hyperparameters for diverse networks. Here we consider three More >

Abstract The stock market is an important domain in which the investors are focused to, therefore accurate prediction of stock market trends remains a hot research area among business-people and researchers. Because of the non-stationary features of the stock market, the stock price prediction is considered a challenging task and is affected by several factors. Anticipating stock market trends is a difficult endeavor that requires a lot of attention, because correctly predicting stock prices can lead to significant rewards if the right judgments are made. Due to non-stationary, noisy, and chaotic data, stock market prediction is… More >

Abstract This study aims to empirically analyze teaching-learning-based optimization (TLBO) and machine learning algorithms using k-means and fuzzy c-means (FCM) algorithms for their individual performance evaluation in terms of clustering and classification. In the first phase, the clustering (k-means and FCM) algorithms were employed independently and the clustering accuracy was evaluated using different computational measures. During the second phase, the non-clustered data obtained from the first phase were preprocessed with TLBO. TLBO was performed using k-means (TLBO-KM) and FCM (TLBO-FCM) (TLBO-KM/FCM) algorithms. The objective function was determined by considering both minimization and maximization criteria. Non-clustered data… More >

Abstract Image recognition is considered to be the pre-eminent paradigm for the automatic detection of tumor diseases in this era. Among various cancers identified so far, glioma, a type of brain tumor, is one of the deadliest cancers, and it remains challenging to the medicinal world. The only consoling factor is that the survival rate of the patient is increased by remarkable percentage with the early diagnosis of the disease. Early diagnosis is attempted to be accomplished with the changes observed in the images of suspected parts of the brain captured in specific interval of time.… More >

Abstract The prediction of crop yield is one of the important factor and also challenging, to predict the future crop yield based on various criteria’s. Many advanced technologies are incorporated in the agricultural processes, which enhances the crop yield production efficiency. The process of predicting the crop yield can be done by taking agriculture data, which helps to analyze and make important decisions before and during cultivation. This paper focuses on the prediction of crop yield, where two models of machine learning are developed for this work. One is Modified Convolutional Neural Network (MCNN), and the… More >

Abstract An improved teaching-learning-based optimization (I-TLBO) algorithm is proposed to adjust the parameters of extreme learning machine with parallel layer perception (PELM), and a well-generalized I-TLBO-PELM model is obtained to build the model of NO_X emissions of a boiler. In the I-TLBO algorithm, there are four major highlights. Firstly, a quantum initialized population by using the qubits on Bloch sphere replaces a randomly initialized population. Secondly, two kinds of angles in Bloch sphere are generated by using cube chaos mapping. Thirdly, an adaptive control parameter is added into the teacher phase to speed up the convergent speed. More >
