Current Studies and Applications of Krill Herd and Gravitational Search Algorithms in Healthcare
Nature-Inspired Computing or NIC for short is a relatively young field that
tries to discover fresh methods of computing by researching how natural
phenomena function to find solutions to complicated issues in many contexts. As
a consequence of this, ground-breaking research has been conducted in a variety
of domains, including synthetic immune functions, neural networks, the
intelligence of swarm, as well as computing of evolutionary. In the domains of
biology, physics, engineering, economics, and management, NIC techniques are
used. In real-world classification, optimization, forecasting, and clustering,
as well as engineering and science issues, meta-heuristics algorithms are
successful, efficient, and resilient. There are two active NIC patterns: the
gravitational search algorithm and the Krill herd algorithm. The study on using
the Krill Herd Algorithm (KH) and the Gravitational Search Algorithm (GSA) in
medicine and healthcare is given a worldwide and historical review in this
publication. Comprehensive surveys have been conducted on some other
nature-inspired algorithms, including KH and GSA. The various versions of the
KH and GSA algorithms and their applications in healthcare are thoroughly
reviewed in the present article. Nonetheless, no survey research on KH and GSA
in the healthcare field has been undertaken. As a result, this work conducts a
thorough review of KH and GSA to assist researchers in using them in diverse
domains or hybridizing them with other popular algorithms. It also provides an
in-depth examination of the KH and GSA in terms of application, modification,
and hybridization. It is important to note that the goal of the study is to
offer a viewpoint on GSA with KH, particularly for academics interested in
investigating the capabilities and performance of the algorithm in the
healthcare and medical domains.Comment: 35 page
A Hybrid Chimp Optimization Algorithm and Generalized Normal Distribution Algorithm with Opposition-Based Learning Strategy for Solving Data Clustering Problems
This paper is concerned with data clustering to separate clusters based on
the connectivity principle for categorizing similar and dissimilar data into
different groups. Although classical clustering algorithms such as K-means are
efficient techniques, they often trap in local optima and have a slow
convergence rate in solving high-dimensional problems. To address these issues,
many successful meta-heuristic optimization algorithms and intelligence-based
methods have been introduced to attain the optimal solution in a reasonable
time. They are designed to escape from a local optimum problem by allowing
flexible movements or random behaviors. In this study, we attempt to
conceptualize a powerful approach using the three main components: Chimp
Optimization Algorithm (ChOA), Generalized Normal Distribution Algorithm
(GNDA), and Opposition-Based Learning (OBL) method. Firstly, two versions of
ChOA with two different independent groups' strategies and seven chaotic maps,
entitled ChOA(I) and ChOA(II), are presented to achieve the best possible
result for data clustering purposes. Secondly, a novel combination of ChOA and
GNDA algorithms with the OBL strategy is devised to solve the major
shortcomings of the original algorithms. Lastly, the proposed ChOAGNDA method
is a Selective Opposition (SO) algorithm based on ChOA and GNDA, which can be
used to tackle large and complex real-world optimization problems, particularly
data clustering applications. The results are evaluated against seven popular
meta-heuristic optimization algorithms and eight recent state-of-the-art
clustering techniques. Experimental results illustrate that the proposed work
significantly outperforms other existing methods in terms of the achievement in
minimizing the Sum of Intra-Cluster Distances (SICD), obtaining the lowest
Error Rate (ER), accelerating the convergence speed, and finding the optimal
cluster centers.Comment: 48 pages, 14 Tables, 12 Figure
Evolutionary Computation 2020
Intelligent optimization is based on the mechanism of computational intelligence to refine a suitable feature model, design an effective optimization algorithm, and then to obtain an optimal or satisfactory solution to a complex problem. Intelligent algorithms are key tools to ensure global optimization quality, fast optimization efficiency and robust optimization performance. Intelligent optimization algorithms have been studied by many researchers, leading to improvements in the performance of algorithms such as the evolutionary algorithm, whale optimization algorithm, differential evolution algorithm, and particle swarm optimization. Studies in this arena have also resulted in breakthroughs in solving complex problems including the green shop scheduling problem, the severe nonlinear problem in one-dimensional geodesic electromagnetic inversion, error and bug finding problem in software, the 0-1 backpack problem, traveler problem, and logistics distribution center siting problem. The editors are confident that this book can open a new avenue for further improvement and discoveries in the area of intelligent algorithms. The book is a valuable resource for researchers interested in understanding the principles and design of intelligent algorithms
Nature-inspired optimization algorithms for text document clustering—a comprehensive analysis
© 2020 by the authors. Licensee MDPI, Basel, Switzerland. Text clustering is one of the efficient unsupervised learning techniques used to partition a huge number of text documents into a subset of clusters. In which, each cluster contains similar documents and the clusters contain dissimilar text documents. Nature-inspired optimization algorithms have been successfully used to solve various optimization problems, including text document clustering problems. In this paper, a comprehensive review is presented to show the most related nature-inspired algorithms that have been used in solving the text clustering problem. Moreover, comprehensive experiments are conducted and analyzed to show the performance of the common well-know nature-inspired optimization algorithms in solving the text document clustering problems including Harmony Search (HS) Algorithm, Genetic Algorithm (GA), Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) Algorithm, Ant Colony Optimization (ACO), Krill Herd Algorithm (KHA), Cuckoo Search (CS) Algorithm, Gray Wolf Optimizer (GWO), and Bat-inspired Algorithm (BA). Seven text benchmark datasets are used to validate the performance of the tested algorithms. The results showed that the performance of the well-known nurture-inspired optimization algorithms almost the same with slight differences. For improvement purposes, new modified versions of the tested algorithms can be proposed and tested to tackle the text clustering problems
Lightning search algorithm: a comprehensive survey
The lightning search algorithm (LSA) is a novel meta-heuristic optimization method, which is proposed in 2015 to solve constraint optimization problems. This paper presents a comprehensive survey of the applications, variants, and results of the so-called LSA. In LSA, the best-obtained solution is defined to improve the effectiveness of the fitness function through the optimization process by finding the minimum or maximum costs to solve a specific problem. Meta-heuristics have grown the focus of researches in the optimization domain, because of the foundation of decision-making and assessment in addressing various optimization problems. A review of LSA variants is displayed in this paper, such as the basic, binary, modification, hybridization, improved, and others. Moreover, the classes of the LSA’s applications include the benchmark functions, machine learning applications, network applications, engineering applications, and others. Finally, the results of the LSA is compared with other optimization algorithms published in the literature. Presenting a survey and reviewing the LSA applications is the chief aim of this survey paper
CCSA: Conscious Neighborhood-based Crow Search Algorithm for Solving Global Optimization Problems
© 2019 Elsevier B.V. In this paper, a conscious neighborhood-based crow search algorithm (CCSA) is proposed for solving global optimization and engineering design problems. It is a successful improvement to tackle the imbalance search strategy and premature convergence problems of the crow search algorithm. CCSA introduces three new search strategies called neighborhood-based local search (NLS), non-neighborhood based global search (NGS) and wandering around based search (WAS) in order to improve the movement of crows in different search spaces. Moreover, a neighborhood concept is defined to select the movement strategy between NLS and NGS consciously, which enhances the balance between local and global search. The proposed CCSA is evaluated on several benchmark functions and four applied problems of engineering design. In all experiments, CCSA is compared by other state-of-the-art swarm intelligence algorithms: CSA, BA, CLPSO, GWO, EEGWO, WOA, KH, ABC, GABC, and Best-so-far ABC. The experimental and statistical results show that CCSA is very competitive especially for large-scale optimization problems, and it is significantly superior to the compared algorithms. Furthermore, the proposed algorithm also finds the best optimal solution for the applied problems of engineering design
