Chandran V, Mohapatra P. A novel multi-strategy ameliorated quasi-oppositional chaotic tunicate swarm algorithm for global optimization and constrained engineering applications. Heliyon 2024; 10:e30757. [PMID: 38779016 PMCID: PMC11109745 DOI: 10.1016/j.heliyon.2024.e30757] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/19/2024] [Revised: 04/29/2024] [Accepted: 05/03/2024] [Indexed: 05/25/2024] Open
Abstract
Over the last few decades, a number of prominent meta-heuristic algorithms have been put forth to address complex optimization problems. However, there is a critical need to enhance these existing meta-heuristics by employing a variety of evolutionary techniques to tackle the emerging challenges in engineering applications. As a result, this study attempts to boost the efficiency of the recently introduced bio-inspired algorithm, the Tunicate Swarm Algorithm (TSA), which is motivated by the foraging and swarming behaviour of bioluminescent tunicates residing in the deep sea. Like other algorithms, the TSA has certain limitations, including getting trapped in the local optimal values and a lack of exploration ability, resulting in premature convergence when dealing with highly challenging optimization problems. To overcome these shortcomings, a novel multi-strategy ameliorated TSA, termed the Quasi-Oppositional Chaotic TSA (QOCTSA), has been proposed as an enhanced variant of TSA. This enhanced method contributes the simultaneous incorporation of the Quasi-Oppositional Based Learning (QOBL) and Chaotic Local Search (CLS) mechanisms to effectively balance exploration and exploitation. The implementation of QOBL improves convergence accuracy and exploration rate, while the inclusion of a CLS strategy with ten chaotic maps improves exploitation by enhancing local search ability around the most prospective regions. Thus, the QOCTSA significantly enhances convergence accuracy while maintaining TSA diversification. The experimentations are conducted on a set of thirty-three diverse functions: CEC2005 and CEC2019 test functions, as well as several real-world engineering problems. The statistical and graphical outcomes indicate that QOCTSA is superior to TSA and exhibits a faster rate of convergence. Furthermore, the statistical tests, specifically the Wilcoxon rank-sum test and t-test, reveal that the QOCTSA method outperforms the other competing algorithms in the domain of real-world engineering design problems.

Biomimetics (Basel) 2023; 8:462.

Abstract
The teaching-learning-based optimization (TLBO) algorithm, which has gained popularity among scholars for addressing practical issues, suffers from several drawbacks including slow convergence speed, susceptibility to local optima, and suboptimal performance. To overcome these limitations, this paper presents a novel algorithm called the teaching-learning optimization algorithm, based on the cadre-mass relationship with the tutor mechanism (TLOCTO). Building upon the original teaching foundation, this algorithm incorporates the characteristics of class cadre settings and extracurricular learning institutions. It proposes a new learner strategy, cadre-mass relationship strategy, and tutor mechanism. The experimental results on 23 test functions and CEC-2020 benchmark functions demonstrate that the enhanced algorithm exhibits strong competitiveness in terms of convergence speed, solution accuracy, and robustness. Additionally, the superiority of the proposed algorithm over other popular optimizers is confirmed through the Wilcoxon signed rank-sum test. Furthermore, the algorithm's practical applicability is demonstrated by successfully applying it to three complex engineering design problems.

Abstract
Mobile devices may use mobile edge computing to improve energy efficiency and responsiveness by offloading computation tasks to edge servers. However, the transmissions of mobile devices may result in interference that decreases the upload rate and prolongs transmission delay. Clustering has been shown as an effective approach to improve the transmission efficiency for dense devices, but there is no distributed algorithm for the optimization of clustering and computation offloading. In this work, we study the optimization problem of computation offloading to minimize the energy consumption of mobile devices in mobile edge computing by adaptively clustering devices to improve the transmission efficiency. To address the optimization problem in a distributed manner, the decision problem of clustering and computation offloading for mobile devices is formulated as a potential game. We introduce the construction of the potential game and show the existence of Nash equilibrium in the game with a finite enhancement ability. Then, we propose a distributed algorithm of clustering and computation offloading based on game theory. We conducted a simulation to evaluate the proposed algorithm. The numerical results from our simulation show that our algorithm can improve offloading efficiency for mobile devices in mobile edge computing by improving transmission efficiency. By offloading more tasks to edge servers, both the energy efficiency of mobile devices and the responsiveness of computation-intensive applications can be improved simultaneously.

Abstract
Aggregate measurement and analysis are critical for civil engineering. Multiple entropy thresholding (MET) is inefficient, and the accuracy of related optimization strategies is unsatisfactory, which results in the segmented aggregate images lacking many surface roughness and aggregate edge features. Thus, this research proposes an autonomous segmentation model (i.e., PERSSA-MET) that optimizes MET based on the chaotic combination strategy sparrow search algorithm (SSA). First, aiming at the characteristics of the many extreme values of an aggregate image, a novel expansion parameter and range-control elite mutation strategies were studied and combined with piecewise mapping, named PERSSA, to improve the SSA's accuracy. This was compared with seven optimization algorithms using benchmark function experiments and a Wilcoxon rank-sum test, and the PERSSA's superiority was proved with the tests. Then, PERSSA was utilized to swiftly determine MET thresholds, and the METs were the Renyi entropy, symmetric cross entropy, and Kapur entropy. In the segmentation experiments of the aggregate images, it was proven that PERSSA-MET effectively segmented more details. Compared with SSA-MET, it achieved 28.90%, 12.55%, and 6.00% improvements in the peak signal-to-noise ratio (PSNR), the structural similarity (SSIM), and the feature similarity (FSIM). Finally, a new parameter, overall merit weight proportion (OMWP), is suggested to calculate this segmentation method's superiority over all other algorithms. The results show that PERSSA-Renyi entropy outperforms well, and it can effectively keep the aggregate surface texture features and attain a balance between accuracy and speed.

Abstract
The vehicle segmentation in the images of a crowded and unstructured road traffic, having inconsistent driving patterns and vivid attributes like colour, shapes, and size, is a complex task. For the same, this paper presents a new firefly algorithm-based superpixel clustering method for vehicle segmentation. The proposed method introduces a modified firefly algorithm by incorporating the best solution for enhancing the exploitation behaviour and solution precision. The modified firefly algorithm is further used to obtain the optimal superpixel clusters. The modified firefly algorithm is compared against state-of-the-art meta-heuristic algorithms on IEEE CEC 2015 benchmark problems in terms of mean fitness value, Wilcoxon rank-sum test, convergence behaviour, and box plot. The proposed meta-heuristic algorithm performed superior on more than 80% of the considered benchmark problems. Moreover, the modified firefly algorithm is statistically better on more than 92% of the total problems during Wilcoxon test. Further, the proposed segmentation method is analysed on a traffic dataset to segment the auto-rickshaw. The performance of the proposed method has been compared with kmeans-based superpixel clustering method. The proposed method shows the highest mean value of 0.6242 for Dice coefficient. Both qualitative and quantitative results affirm the efficacy of the proposed method.

Abstract
The combination of edge computing and deep learning helps make intelligent edge devices that can make several conditional decisions using comparatively secured and fast machine learning algorithms. An automated car that acts as the data-source node of an intelligent Internet of vehicles or IoV system is one of these examples. Our motivation is to obtain more accurate and rapid object detection using the intelligent cameras of a smart car. The competent supervision camera of the smart automobile model utilizes multimedia data for real-time automation in real-time threat detection. The corresponding comprehensive network combines cooperative multimedia data processing, Internet of Things (IoT) fact handling, validation, computation, precise detection, and decision making. These actions confront real-time delays during data offloading to the cloud and synchronizing with the other nodes. The proposed model follows a cooperative machine learning technique, distributes the computational load by slicing real-time object data among analogous intelligent Internet of Things nodes, and parallel vision processing between connective edge clusters. As a result, the system increases the computational rate and improves accuracy through responsible resource utilization and active–passive learning. We achieved low latency and higher accuracy for object identification through real-time multimedia data objectification.

Abstract
The task of designing an Artificial Neural Network (ANN) can be thought of as an optimization problem that involves many parameters whose optimal value needs to be computed in order to improve the classification accuracy of an ANN. Two of the major parameters that need to be determined during the design of an ANN are weights and biases. Various gradient-based optimization algorithms have been proposed by researchers in the past to generate an optimal set of weights and biases. However, due to the tendency of gradient-based algorithms to get trapped in local minima, researchers have started exploring metaheuristic algorithms as an alternative to the conventional techniques. In this paper, we propose the GGA-MLP (Greedy Genetic Algorithm-Multilayer Perceptron) approach, a learning algorithm, to generate an optimal set of weights and biases in multilayer perceptron (MLP) using a greedy genetic algorithm. The proposed approach increases the performance of the traditional genetic algorithm (GA) by using a greedy approach to generate the initial population as well as to perform crossover and mutation. To evaluate the performance of GGA-MLP in classifying nonlinear input patterns, we perform experiments on datasets of varying complexities taken from the University of California, Irvine (UCI) repository. The experimental results of GGA-MLP are compared with the existing state-of-the-art techniques in terms of classification accuracy. The results show that the performance of GGA-MLP is better than or comparable to the existing state-of-the-art techniques.

Abstract
This paper presents an improved teaching-learning-based optimization (TLBO) algorithm for solving optimization problems, called RLTLBO. First, a new learning mode considering the effect of the teacher is presented. Second, the Q-Learning method in reinforcement learning (RL) is introduced to build a switching mechanism between two different learning modes in the learner phase. Finally, ROBL is adopted after both the teacher and learner phases to improve the local optima avoidance ability of RLTLBO. These two strategies effectively enhance the convergence speed and accuracy of the proposed algorithm. RLTLBO is analyzed on 23 standard benchmark functions and eight CEC2017 test functions to verify the optimization performance. The results reveal that proposed algorithm provides effective and efficient performance in solving benchmark test functions. Moreover, RLTLBO is also applied to solve eight industrial engineering design problems. Compared with the basic TLBO and seven state-of-the-art algorithms, the results illustrate that RLTLBO has superior performance and promising prospects for dealing with real-world optimization problems. The source codes of the RLTLBO are publicly available at https://github.com/WangShuang92/RLTLBO.

Abstract
The probability of the basic HHO algorithm in choosing different search methods is symmetric: about 0.5 in the interval from 0 to 1. The optimal solution from the previous iteration of the algorithm affects the current solution, the search for prey in a linear way led to a single search result, and the overall number of updates of the optimal position was low. These factors limit Harris Hawks optimization algorithm. For example, an ease of falling into a local optimum and the efficiency of convergence is low. Inspired by the prey hunting behavior of Harris’s hawk, a multi-strategy search Harris Hawks optimization algorithm is proposed, and the least squares support vector machine (LSSVM) optimized by the proposed algorithm was used to model the reactive power output of the synchronous condenser. Firstly, we select the best Gauss chaotic mapping method from seven commonly used chaotic mapping population initialization methods to improve the accuracy. Secondly, the optimal neighborhood perturbation mechanism is introduced to avoid premature maturity of the algorithm. Simultaneously, the adaptive weight and variable spiral search strategy are designed to simulate the prey hunting behavior of Harris hawk to improve the convergence speed of the improved algorithm and enhance the global search ability of the improved algorithm. A numerical experiment is tested with the classical 23 test functions and the CEC2017 test function set. The results show that the proposed algorithm outperforms the Harris Hawks optimization algorithm and other intelligent optimization algorithms in terms of convergence speed, solution accuracy and robustness, and the model of synchronous condenser reactive power output established by the improved algorithm optimized LSSVM has good accuracy and generalization ability.

Abstract
Several population-based metaheuristic optimization algorithms have been proposed in the last decades, none of which are able either to outperform all existing algorithms or to solve all optimization problems according to the No Free Lunch (NFL) theorem. Many of these algorithms behave effectively, under a correct setting of the control parameter(s), when solving different engineering problems. The optimization behavior of these algorithms is boosted by applying various strategies, which include the hybridization technique and the use of chaotic maps instead of the pseudo-random number generators (PRNGs). The hybrid algorithms are suitable for a large number of engineering applications in which they behave more effectively than the thoroughbred optimization algorithms. However, they increase the difficulty of correctly setting control parameters, and sometimes they are designed to solve particular problems. This paper presents three hybridizations dubbed HYBPOP, HYBSUBPOP, and HYBIND of up to seven algorithms free of control parameters. Each hybrid proposal uses a different strategy to switch the algorithm charged with generating each new individual. These algorithms are Jaya, sine cosine algorithm (SCA), Rao’s algorithms, teaching-learning-based optimization (TLBO), and chaotic Jaya. The experimental results show that the proposed algorithms perform better than the original algorithms, which implies the optimal use of these algorithms according to the problem to be solved. One more advantage of the hybrid algorithms is that no prior process of control parameter tuning is needed.
