Abstract As a new intelligent optimization method, brain storm optimization (BSO) algorithm has been widely concerned for its advantages in solving classical optimization problems. Recently, an evolutionary classification optimization model based on BSO algorithm has been proposed, which proves its effectiveness in solving the classification problem. However, BSO algorithm also has defects. For example, large-scale datasets make the structure of the model complex, which affects its classification performance. In addition, in the process of optimization, the information of the dominant solution cannot be well preserved in BSO, which leads to its limitations in classification performance. Moreover, its generation strategy is inefficient… More >

Abstract In recent times, wind energy receives maximum attention and has become a significant green energy source globally. The wind turbine (WT) entered into several domains such as power electronics that are employed to assist the connection process of a wind energy system and grid. The turbulent characteristics of wind profile along with uncertainty in the design of WT make it highly challenging for prolific power extraction. The pitch control angle is employed to effectively operate the WT at the above nominal wind speed. Besides, the pitch controller needs to be intelligent for the extraction of sustainable secure energy and keep… More >

Abstract In the domain of artificial neural networks, the learning process represents one of the most challenging tasks. Since the classification accuracy highly depends on the weights and biases, it is crucial to find its optimal or suboptimal values for the problem at hand. However, to a very large search space, it is very difficult to find the proper values of connection weights and biases. Employing traditional optimization algorithms for this issue leads to slow convergence and it is prone to get stuck in the local optima. Most commonly, back-propagation is used for multi-layer-perceptron training and it can lead to vanishing… More >

Abstract Recently, online learning platforms have proven to help people gain knowledge more conveniently. Since the outbreak of COVID-19 in 2020, online learning has become a mainstream mode, as many schools have adopted its format. The platforms are able to capture substantial data relating to the students’ learning activities, which could be analyzed to determine relationships between learning behaviors and study habits. As such, an intelligent analysis method is needed to process efficiently this high volume of information. Clustering is an effect data mining method which discover data distribution and hidden characteristic from uncharacterized online learning data. This study proposes a… More >

Abstract In the field of data mining and machine learning, clustering is a typical issue which has been widely studied by many researchers, and lots of effective algorithms have been proposed, including K-means, fuzzy c-means (FCM) and DBSCAN. However, the traditional clustering methods are easily trapped into local optimum. Thus, many evolutionary-based clustering methods have been investigated. Considering the effectiveness of brain storm optimization (BSO) in increasing the diversity while the diversity optimization is performed, in this paper, we propose a new clustering model based on BSO to use the global ability of BSO. In our experiment, we apply the novel… More >

Abstract The Wiener model is widely used in industrial processes. It is composed of a linear dynamic block and a nonlinear static block. Estimating the Wiener model is challenging because of the diversity of static nonlinear functions and the immeasurableness of intermediate signals owing to the series structure of the Wiener model. Existing optimization algorithms cannot satisfy the requirements of accuracy and efficiency of identification and often lose into a local optimum. Herein, a modified Brain Storm Optimization (mBSO) is proposed to estimate the parameters of the Wiener model. Many different combinations of individuals from intra or extra-groups ensure the diversity… More >
