Abstract The traditional first-order reliability method (FORM) often encounters challenges with non-convergence of results or excessive calculation when analyzing complex engineering problems. To improve the global convergence speed of structural reliability analysis, an improved coati optimization algorithm (COA) is proposed in this paper. In this study, the social learning strategy is used to improve the coati optimization algorithm (SL-COA), which improves the convergence speed and robustness of the new heuristic optimization algorithm. Then, the SL-COA is compared with the latest heuristic optimization algorithms such as the original COA, whale optimization algorithm (WOA), and osprey optimization algorithm… More >

Abstract Feature selection is a crucial technique in text classification for improving the efficiency and effectiveness of classifiers or machine learning techniques by reducing the dataset’s dimensionality. This involves eliminating irrelevant, redundant, and noisy features to streamline the classification process. Various methods, from single feature selection techniques to ensemble filter-wrapper methods, have been used in the literature. Metaheuristic algorithms have become popular due to their ability to handle optimization complexity and the continuous influx of text documents. Feature selection is inherently multi-objective, balancing the enhancement of feature relevance, accuracy, and the reduction of redundant features. This… More >

Abstract In this article, a novel metaheuristic technique named Far and Near Optimization (FNO) is introduced, offering versatile applications across various scientific domains for optimization tasks. The core concept behind FNO lies in integrating global and local search methodologies to update the algorithm population within the problem-solving space based on moving each member to the farthest and nearest member to itself. The paper delineates the theory of FNO, presenting a mathematical model in two phases: (i) exploration based on the simulation of the movement of a population member towards the farthest member from itself and (ii)… More >

Abstract The networks of wireless sensors provide the ground for a range of applications, including environmental monitoring and industrial operations. Ensuring the networks can overcome obstacles like power and communication reliability and sensor coverage is the crux of network optimization. Network infrastructure planning should be focused on increasing performance, and it should be affected by the detailed data about node distribution.

Abstract The Gannet Optimization Algorithm (GOA) and the Whale Optimization Algorithm (WOA) demonstrate strong performance; however, there remains room for improvement in convergence and practical applications.

Abstract Accurately estimating blasting vibration during rock blasting is the foundation of blasting vibration management. In this study, Tuna Swarm Optimization (TSO), Whale Optimization Algorithm (WOA), and Cuckoo Search (CS) were used to optimize two hyperparameters in support vector regression (SVR). Based on these methods, three hybrid models to predict peak particle velocity (PPV) for bench blasting were developed. Eighty-eight samples were collected to establish the PPV database, eight initial blasting parameters were chosen as input parameters for the prediction model, and the PPV was the output parameter. As predictive performance evaluation indicators, the coefficient of More >

Abstract The equilibrium optimizer (EO) represents a new, physics-inspired metaheuristic optimization approach that draws inspiration from the principles governing the control of volume-based mixing to achieve dynamic mass equilibrium. Despite its innovative foundation, the EO exhibits certain limitations, including imbalances between exploration and exploitation, the tendency to local optima, and the susceptibility to loss of population diversity. To alleviate these drawbacks, this paper introduces an improved EO that adopts three strategies: adaptive inertia weight, Cauchy mutation, and adaptive sine cosine mechanism, called SCEO. Firstly, a new update formula is conceived by incorporating an adaptive inertia weight… More >
