Abstract Stress-based topology optimization is one of the most concerns of structural optimization and receives much attention in a wide range of engineering designs. To solve the inherent issues of stress-based topology optimization, many schemes are added to the conventional bi-directional evolutionary structural optimization (BESO) method in the previous studies. However, these schemes degrade the generality of BESO and increase the computational cost. This study proposes an improved topology optimization method for the continuum structures considering stress minimization in the framework of the conventional BESO method. A global stress measure constructed by p-norm function is treated as… More >

Abstract

In recent years, wireless channel optimization technologies witnessed tremendous improvements. In this regard, research for developing wireless spectrum for accommodating a wider range of wireless devices increased. This also helped in resolving spectrum scarcity issues. Cognitive Radio (CR) is a type of wireless communication in which a transceiver can intelligently detect which communication channels are being used. To avoid interference, it instantly moves traffic into vacant channels by avoiding the occupied ones. Cognitive Radio (CR) technology showed the potential to deal with the spectrum shortage problem. The spectrum assignment is often considered as a key research

Abstract Cursive text recognition of Arabic script-based languages like Urdu is extremely complicated due to its diverse and complex characteristics. Evolutionary approaches like genetic algorithms have been used in the past for various optimization as well as pattern recognition tasks, reporting exceptional results. The proposed Urdu ligature recognition system uses a genetic algorithm for optimization and recognition. Overall the proposed recognition system observes the processes of pre-processing, segmentation, feature extraction, hierarchical clustering, classification rules and genetic algorithm optimization and recognition. The pre-processing stage removes noise from the sentence images, whereas, in segmentation, the sentences are segmented More >

Abstract The Fused Modified Grasshopper Optimization Algorithm has been proposed, which selects the most specific feature sets from images of the disease of plant leaves. The Proposed algorithm ensures the detection of diseases during the early stages of the diagnosis of leaf disease by farmers and, finally, the crop needed to be controlled by farmers to ensure the survival and protection of plants. In this study, a novel approach has been suggested based on the standard optimization algorithm for grasshopper and the selection of features. Leaf conditions in plants are a major factor in reducing crop… More >

Abstract Machine Learning (ML) has revolutionized intelligent systems that range from self-driving automobiles, search engines, business/market analysis, fraud detection, network intrusion investigation, and medical diagnosis. Classification lies at the core of Machine Learning and Multi-label Classification (MLC) is the closest to real-life problems related to heuristics. It is a type of classification problem where multiple labels or classes can be assigned to more than one instance simultaneously. The level of complexity in MLC is increased by factors such as data imbalance, high dimensionality, label correlations, and noise. Conventional MLC techniques such as ensembles-based approaches, Multi-label Stacking,… More >

Abstract Portfolio optimization is an effective way to diversify investment risk and optimize asset management. Many multiobjective optimization mathematical models and metaheuristic intelligent algorithms have been proposed to solve portfolio problem under an ideal condition. This paper presents a biobjective portfolio optimization model under the assumption of no short selling. In order to obtain sufficient number of portfolio optimal solutions uniformly distributed on the portfolio efficient Pareto front, a hybrid imperialist competitive evolutionary algorithm which combines a multi-colony levy crossover operator and a simple-colony moving operator with random perturbation is also given.

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.

Abstract K-means is a simple and commonly used algorithm, which is widely applied in many fields due to its fast convergence and distinctive performance. In this paper, a novel algorithm is proposed to help K-means jump out of a local optimum on the basis of several ideas from evolutionary computation, through the use of random and evolutionary processes. The experimental results show that the proposed algorithm is capable of improving the accuracy of K-means and decreasing the SSE of K-means, which indicates that the proposed algorithm can prevent K-means from falling into the local optimum to More >

Abstract The vehicle edge network (VEN) has become a new research hotspot in the Internet of Things (IOT). However, many new delays are generated during the vehicle offloading the task to the edge server, which will greatly reduce the quality of service (QOS) provided by the vehicle edge network. To solve this problem, this paper proposes an evolutionary algorithm-based (EA) task offloading and resource allocation scheme. First, the delay of offloading task to the edge server is generally defined, then the mathematical model of problem is given. Finally, the objective function is optimized by evolutionary algorithm, More >
