Abstract
The sand cat swarm optimization (SCSO) is a recently proposed meta-heuristic algorithm. It inspires hunting behavior with sand cats based on hearing ability. However, in the later stage of SCSO, it is easy to fall into local optimality and cannot find a better position. In order to improve the search ability of SCSO and avoid falling into local optimal, an improved algorithm is proposed - Improved sand cat swarm optimization based on lens opposition-based learning and sparrow search algorithm (LSSCSO). A dynamic spiral search is introduced in the exploitation stage to make the algorithm search for better positions in the search space and improve the convergence accuracy of the algorithm. The lens opposition-based learning and the sparrow search algorithm are introduced in the later stages of the algorithm to make the algorithm jump out of the local optimum and improve the global search capability of the algorithm. To verify the effectiveness of LSSCSO in solving global optimization problems, CEC2005 and CEC2022 test functions are used to test the optimization performance of LSSCSO in different dimensions. The data results, convergence curve and Wilcoxon rank sum test are analyzed, and the results show that it has a strong optimization ability and can reach the optimal in most cases. Finally, LSSCSO is used to verify the effectiveness of the algorithm in solving engineering optimization problems.

Abstract
Spiking neural networks (SNNs) have superior energy efficiency due to their spiking signal transmission, which mimics biological nervous systems, but they are difficult to train effectively. Although surrogate gradient-based methods offer a workable solution, trained SNNs frequently fall into local minima because they are still primarily based on gradient dynamics. Inspired by the chaotic dynamics in animal brain learning, we propose a chaotic spiking backpropagation (CSBP) method that introduces a loss function to generate brain-like chaotic dynamics and further takes advantage of the ergodic and pseudo-random nature to make SNN learning effective and robust. From a computational viewpoint, we found that CSBP significantly outperforms current state-of-the-art methods on both neuromorphic data sets (e.g. DVS-CIFAR10 and DVS-Gesture) and large-scale static data sets (e.g. CIFAR100 and ImageNet) in terms of accuracy and robustness. From a theoretical viewpoint, we show that the learning process of CSBP is initially chaotic, then subject to various bifurcations and eventually converges to gradient dynamics, consistently with the observation of animal brain activity. Our work provides a superior core tool for direct SNN training and offers new insights into understanding the learning process of a biological brain.

Abstract
Skin cancer is one of the most life-threatening diseases caused by the abnormal growth of the skin cells, when exposed to ultraviolet radiation. Early detection seems to be more crucial for reducing aberrant cell proliferation because the mortality rate is rapidly rising. Although multiple researches are available based on the skin cancer detection, there still exists challenges in improving the accuracy, reducing the computational time and so on. In this research, a novel skin cancer detection is performed using a modified falcon finch deep Convolutional neural network classifier (Modified Falcon finch deep CNN) that efficiently detects the disease with higher efficiency. The usage of modified falcon finch deep CNN classifier effectively analyzed the information relevant to the skin cancer and the errors are also minimized. The inclusion of the falcon finch optimization in the deep CNN classifier is necessary for efficient parameter tuning. This tuning enhanced the robustness and boosted the convergence of the classifier that detects the skin cancer in less stipulated time. The modified falcon finch deep CNN classifier achieved accuracy, sensitivity, and specificity values of 93.59%, 92.14%, and 95.22% regarding k-fold and 96.52%, 96.69%, and 96.54% regarding training percentage, proving more effective than literary works.

Abstract
This paper presents a novel distributed assembly permutation flowshop scheduling problem (DAPFSP) based on practical problems in automobile production. Different from the existing research on DAPFSP, this study considers that each component of the final product is composed of more than one part. Components are processed in a set of identical components manufacturing factories and are assembled into products in the assembly factory. The integration of manufacturing processes is an important objective of Industry 4.0. For solving this problem with the minimum makespan criterion, we introduce a three-level representation and a novel initialization method. To enhance the search ability of the proposed algorithms, we design three local search methods and two restart procedures according to characteristics of the problem. Then, by incorporating the problem specific knowledge with the social spider optimization algorithm (SSO), we propose three SSO variants: the SSO with hybrid local search strategies (HSSO), the HSSO with restart procedures (HSSOR), and the HSSOR with self-adaptive selection probability (HSSORP). Finally, 810 extended instances based on the famous instances are used to test the proposed algorithms. In most cases, HSSOR performs the best, with an average comparison metric value of 0.158% across three termination conditions, while the average comparison metric value for the best comparison method is 2.446%, which is 15.481 times that of HSSOR. Numerical results demonstrate that the proposed algorithms can solve the problem efficiently.

Enhancing Diagnosis of Rotating Elements in Roll-to-Roll Manufacturing Systems through Feature Selection Approach Considering Overlapping Data Density and Distance Analysis.

Abstract
Roll-to-roll manufacturing systems have been widely adopted for their cost-effectiveness, eco-friendliness, and mass-production capabilities, utilizing thin and flexible substrates. However, in these systems, defects in the rotating components such as the rollers and bearings can result in severe defects in the functional layers. Therefore, the development of an intelligent diagnostic model is crucial for effectively identifying these rotating component defects. In this study, a quantitative feature-selection method, feature partial density, to develop high-efficiency diagnostic models was proposed. The feature combinations extracted from the measured signals were evaluated based on the partial density, which is the density of the remaining data excluding the highest class in overlapping regions and the Mahalanobis distance by class to assess the classification performance of the models. The validity of the proposed algorithm was verified through the construction of ranked model groups and comparison with existing feature-selection methods. The high-ranking group selected by the algorithm outperformed the other groups in terms of training time, accuracy, and positive predictive value. Moreover, the top feature combination demonstrated superior performance across all indicators compared to existing methods.

Abstract
The aquila optimization algorithm (AO) is an efficient swarm intelligence algorithm proposed recently. However, considering that AO has better performance and slower late convergence speed in the optimization process. For solving this effect of AO and improving its performance, this paper proposes an enhanced aquila optimization algorithm with a velocity-aided global search mechanism and adaptive opposition-based learning (VAIAO) which is based on AO and simplified Aquila optimization algorithm (IAO). In VAIAO, the velocity and acceleration terms are set and included in the update formula. Furthermore, an adaptive opposition-based learning strategy is introduced to improve local optima. To verify the performance of the proposed VAIAO, 27 classical benchmark functions, the Wilcoxon statistical sign-rank experiment, the Friedman test and five engineering optimization problems are tested. The results of the experiment show that the proposed VAIAO has better performance than AO, IAO and other comparison algorithms. This also means the introduction of these two strategies enhances the global exploration ability and convergence speed of the algorithm.

Abstract
The grasshopper optimization algorithm (GOA) is a meta-heuristic algorithm proposed in 2017 mimics the biological behavior of grasshopper swarms seeking food sources in nature for solving optimization problems. Nonetheless, some shortcomings exist in the origin GOA, and GOA global search ability is more or less insufficient and precision also needs to be further improved. Although there are many different GOA variants in the literature, the problem of inefficient and rough precision has still emerged in GOA variants. Aiming at these deficiencies, this paper develops an improved version of GOA with Levy Flight mechanism called LFGOA to alleviate the shortcomings of the origin GOA. The LFGOA algorithm achieved a more suitable balance between exploitation and exploration during searching for the most promising region. The performance of LFGOA is tested using 23 mathematical benchmark functions in comparison with the eight well-known meta-heuristic algorithms and seven real-world engineering problems. The statistical analysis and experimental results show the efficiency of LFGOA. According to obtained results, it is possible to say that the LFGOA algorithm can be a potential alternative in the solution of meta-heuristic optimization problems as it has high exploration and exploitation capabilities.

Abstract
In most data mining tasks, feature selection is an essential preprocessing stage. Henry’s Gas Solubility Optimization (HGSO) algorithm is a physical heuristic algorithm based on Henry’s law, which simulates the process of gas solubility in liquid with temperature. In this paper, an improved Henry’s Gas Solubility Optimization based on stochastic fractal search (SFS-HGSO) is proposed for feature selection and engineering optimization. Three stochastic fractal strategies based on Gaussian walk, Lévy flight and Brownian motion are adopted respectively, and the diffusion is based on the high-quality solutions obtained by the original algorithm. Individuals with different fitness are assigned different energies, and the number of diffusing individuals is determined according to individual energy. This strategy increases the diversity of search strategies and enhances the ability of local search. It greatly improves the shortcomings of the original HGSO position updating method is single and the convergence speed is slow. This algorithm is used to solve the problem of feature selection, and KNN classifier is used to evaluate the effectiveness of selected features. In order to verify the performance of the proposed feature selection method, 20 standard UCI benchmark datasets are used, and the performance is compared with other swarm intelligence optimization algorithms, such as WOA, HHO and HBA. The algorithm is also applied to the solution of benchmark function. Experimental results show that these three improved strategies can effectively improve the performance of HGSO algorithm, and achieve excellent results in feature selection and engineering optimization problems.

Abstract
Soil element monitoring wireless sensor networks (SEMWSNs) are widely used in soil element monitoring agricultural activities. SEMWSNs monitor changes in soil elemental content during agriculture products growing through nodes. Based on the feedback from the nodes, farmers adjust irrigation and fertilization strategies on time, thus promoting the economic growth of crops. The critical issue in SEMWSNs coverage studies is to achieve maximum coverage of the entire monitoring field by adopting a smaller number of sensor nodes. In this study, a unique adaptive chaotic Gaussian variant snake optimization algorithm (ACGSOA) is proposed for solving the above problem, which also has the advantages of solid robustness, low algorithmic complexity, and fast convergence. A new chaotic operator is proposed in this paper to optimize the position parameters of individuals, enhancing the convergence speed of the algorithm. Moreover, an adaptive Gaussian variant operator is also designed in this paper to effectively avoid SEMWSNs from falling into local optima during the deployment process. Simulation experiments are designed to compare ACGSOA with other widely used metaheuristics, namely snake optimizer (SO), whale optimization algorithm (WOA), artificial bee colony algorithm (ABC), and fruit fly optimization algorithm (FOA). The simulation results show that the performance of ACGSOA has been dramatically improved. On the one hand, ACGSOA outperforms other methods in terms of convergence speed, and on the other hand, the coverage rate is improved by 7.20%, 7.32%, 7.96%, and 11.03% compared with SO, WOA, ABC, and FOA, respectively.

Finally, MSCA is used to address six complex engineering design problems, demonstrating the engineering utility of the algorithm.

Abstract
Water-cycle algorithm based on evaporation rate (ErWCA) is a powerful enhanced version of the water-cycle algorithm (WCA) metaheuristics algorithm. ErWCA, like other algorithms, may still fall in the sub-optimal region and have a slow convergence, especially in high-dimensional tasks problems. This paper suggests an enhanced ErWCA (EErWCA) version, which embeds local escaping operator (LEO) as an internal operator in the updating process. ErWCA also uses a control-randomization operator. To verify this version, a comparison between EErWCA and other algorithms, namely, classical ErWCA, water cycle algorithm (WCA), butterfly optimization algorithm (BOA), bird swarm algorithm (BSA), crow search algorithm (CSA), grasshopper optimization algorithm (GOA), Harris Hawks Optimization (HHO), whale optimization algorithm (WOA), dandelion optimizer (DO) and fire hawks optimization (FHO) using IEEE CEC 2017, was performed. The experimental and analytical results show the adequate performance of the proposed algorithm.

Abstract
The Aquila optimizer (AO) is a recently developed swarm algorithm that simulates the hunting behavior of Aquila birds. In complex optimization problems, an AO may have slow convergence or fall in sub-optimal regions, especially in high complex ones. This paper tries to overcome these problems by using three different strategies: restart strategy, opposition-based learning and chaotic local search. The developed algorithm named as mAO was tested using 29 CEC 2017 functions and five different engineering constrained problems. The results prove the superiority and efficiency of mAO in solving many optimization issues.

Abstract
To overcome the lack of flexibility of Harris Hawks Optimization (HHO) in switching between exploration and exploitation, and the low efficiency of its exploitation phase, an efficient improved greedy Harris Hawks Optimizer (IGHHO) is proposed and applied to the feature selection (FS) problem. IGHHO uses a new transformation strategy that enables flexible switching between search and development, enabling it to jump out of local optima. We replace the original HHO exploitation process with improved differential perturbation and a greedy strategy to improve its global search capability. We tested it in experiments against seven algorithms using single-peaked, multi-peaked, hybrid, and composite CEC2017 benchmark functions, and IGHHO outperformed them on optimization problems with different feature functions. We propose new objective functions for the problem of data imbalance in FS and apply IGHHO to it. IGHHO outperformed comparison algorithms in terms of classification accuracy and feature subset length. The results show that IGHHO applies not only to global optimization of different feature functions but also to practical optimization problems.

Abstract
In the Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) system, finding a flight planning path with low cost and fast search speed is an important problem. However, in the complex three-dimensional (3D) flight environment, the planning effect of many algorithms is not ideal. In order to improve its performance, this paper proposes a UAV path planning algorithm based on improved Harris Hawks Optimization (HHO). A 3D mission space model and a flight path cost function are first established to transform the path planning problem into a multidimensional function optimization problem. HHO is then improved for path planning, where the Cauchy mutation strategy and adaptive weight are introduced in the exploration process in order to increase the population diversity, expand the search space and improve the search ability. In addition, in order to reduce the possibility of falling into local extremum, the Sine-cosine Algorithm (SCA) is used and its oscillation characteristics are considered to gradually converge to the optimal solution. The simulation results show that the proposed algorithm has high optimization accuracy, convergence speed and robustness, and it can generate a more optimized path planning result for UAVs.

Abstract
Rice blast is a serious threat to rice yield. Breeding disease-resistant varieties is one of the most economical and effective ways to prevent damage from rice blast. The traditional identification of resistant rice seeds has some shortcoming, such as long possession time, high cost and complex operation. The purpose of this study was to develop an optimal prediction model for determining resistant rice seeds using Ranman spectroscopy. First, the support vector machine (SVM), BP neural network (BP) and probabilistic neural network (PNN) models were initially established on the original spectral data. Second, due to the recognition accuracy of the Raw-SVM model, the running time was fast. The support vector machine model was selected for optimization, and four improved support vector machine models (ABC-SVM (artificial bee colony algorithm, ABC), IABC-SVM (improving the artificial bee colony algorithm, IABC), GSA-SVM (gravity search algorithm, GSA) and GWO-SVM (gray wolf algorithm, GWO)) were used to identify resistant rice seeds. The difference in modeling accuracy and running time between the improved support vector machine model established in feature wavelengths and full wavelengths (200–3202 cm−1) was compared. Finally, five spectral preproccessing algorithms, Savitzky–Golay 1-Der (SGD), Savitzky–Golay Smoothing (SGS), baseline (Base), multivariate scatter correction (MSC) and standard normal variable (SNV), were used to preprocess the original spectra. The random forest algorithm (RF) was used to extract the characteristic wavelengths. After different spectral preproccessing algorithms and the RF feature extraction, the improved support vector machine models were established. The results show that the recognition accuracy of the optimal IABC-SVM model based on the original data was 71%. Among the five spectral preproccessing algorithms, the SNV algorithm’s accuracy was the best. The accuracy of the test set in the IABC-SVM model was 100%, and the running time was 13 s. After SNV algorithms and the RF feature extraction, the classification accuracy of the IABC-SVM model did not decrease, and the running time was shortened to 9 s. This demonstrates the feasibility and effectiveness of IABC in SVM parameter optimization, with higher prediction accuracy and better stability. Therefore, the improved support vector machine model based on Ranman spectroscopy can be applied to the fast and non-destructive identification of resistant rice seeds.

Abstract
Remora Optimization Algorithm (ROA) is a recent population-based algorithm that mimics the intelligent traveler behavior of Remora. However, the performance of ROA is barely satisfactory; it may be stuck in local optimal regions or has a slow convergence, especially in high dimensional complicated problems. To overcome these limitations, this paper develops an improved version of ROA called Enhanced ROA (EROA) using three different techniques: adaptive dynamic probability, SFO with Levy flight, and restart strategy. The performance of EROA is tested using two different benchmarks and seven real-world engineering problems. The statistical analysis and experimental results show the efficiency of EROA.

Abstract
The rapid growth of data generated by several applications like engineering, biotechnology, energy, and others has become a crucial challenge in the high dimensional data mining. The large amounts of data, especially those with high dimensions, may contain many irrelevant, redundant, or noisy features, which may negatively affect the accuracy and efficiency of the industrial data mining process. Recently, several meta-heuristic optimization algorithms have been utilized to evolve feature selection techniques for dealing with the vast dimensionality problem. Despite optimization algorithms' ability to find the near-optimal feature subset of the search space, they still face some global optimization challenges. This paper proposes an improved version of the sooty tern optimization (ST) algorithm, namely the ST-AL method, to improve the search performance for high-dimensional industrial optimization problems. ST-AL method is developed by boosting the performance of STOA by applying four strategies. The first strategy is the use of a control randomization parameters that ensure the balance between the exploration-exploitation stages during the search process; moreover, it avoids falling into local optimums. The second strategy entails the creation of a new exploration phase based on the Ant lion (AL) algorithm. The third strategy is improving the STOA exploitation phase by modifying the main equation of position updating. Finally, the greedy selection is used to ignore the poor generated population and keeps it from diverging from the existing promising regions. To evaluate the performance of the proposed ST-AL algorithm, it has been employed as a global optimization method to discover the optimal value of ten CEC2020 benchmark functions. Also, it has been applied as a feature selection approach on 16 benchmark datasets in the UCI repository and compared with seven well-known optimization feature selection methods. The experimental results reveal the superiority of the proposed algorithm in avoiding local minima and increasing the convergence rate. The experimental result are compared with state-of-the-art algorithms, i.e., ALO, STOA, PSO, GWO, HHO, MFO, and MPA and found that the mean accuracy achieved is in range 0.94-1.00.

Abstract
Wild horse optimizer (WHO) is a recently proposed metaheuristic algorithm that simulates the social behavior of wild horses in nature. Although WHO shows competitive performance compared to some algorithms, it suffers from low exploitation capability and stagnation in local optima. This paper presents an improved wild horse optimizer (IWHO), which incorporates three improvements to enhance optimizing capability. The main innovation of this paper is to put forward the random running strategy (RRS) and the competition for waterhole mechanism (CWHM). The random running strategy is employed to balance exploration and exploitation, and the competition for waterhole mechanism is proposed to boost exploitation behavior. Moreover, the dynamic inertia weight strategy (DIWS) is utilized to optimize the global solution. The proposed IWHO is evaluated using twenty-three classical benchmark functions, ten CEC 2021 test functions, and five real-world optimization problems. High-dimensional cases (D = 200, 500, 1000) are also tested. Comparing nine well-known algorithms, the experimental results of test functions demonstrate that the IWHO is very competitive in terms of convergence speed, precision, accuracy, and stability. Further, the practical capability of the proposed method is verified by the results of engineering design problems.

Abstract
Cancer can be considered as one of the leading causes of death widely. One of the most effective tools to be able to handle cancer diagnosis, prognosis, and treatment is by using expression profiling technique which is based on microarray gene. For each data point (sample), gene data expression usually receives tens of thousands of genes. As a result, this data is large-scale, high-dimensional, and highly redundant. The classification of gene expression profiles is considered to be a (NP)-Hard problem. Feature (gene) selection is one of the most effective methods to handle this problem. A hybrid cancer classification approach is presented in this paper, and several machine learning techniques were used in the hybrid model: Pearson's correlation coefficient as a correlation-based feature selector and reducer, a Decision Tree classifier that is easy to interpret and does not require a parameter, and Grid Search CV (cross-validation) to optimize the maximum depth hyperparameter. Seven standard microarray cancer datasets are used to evaluate our model. To identify which features are the most informative and relative using the proposed model, various performance measurements are employed, including classification accuracy, specificity, sensitivity, F1-score, and AUC. The suggested strategy greatly decreases the number of genes required for classification, selects the most informative features, and increases classification accuracy, according to the results.

Abstract
The slime mould algorithm (SMA) is a metaheuristic algorithm recently proposed, which is inspired by the oscillations of slime mould. Similar to other algorithms, SMA also has some disadvantages such as insufficient balance between exploration and exploitation, and easy to fall into local optimum. This paper, an improved SMA based on dominant swarm with adaptive t-distribution mutation (DTSMA) is proposed. In DTSMA, the dominant swarm is used improved the SMA's convergence speed, and the adaptive t-distribution mutation balances is used enhanced the exploration and exploitation ability. In addition, a new exploitation mechanism is hybridized to increase the diversity of populations. The performances of DTSMA are verified on CEC2019 functions and eight engineering design problems. The results show that for the CEC2019 functions, the DTSMA performances are best; for the engineering problems, DTSMA obtains better results than SMA and many algorithms in the literature when the constraints are satisfied. Furthermore, DTSMA is used to solve the inverse kinematics problem for a 7-DOF robot manipulator. The overall results show that DTSMA has a strong optimization ability. Therefore, the DTSMA is a promising metaheuristic optimization for global optimization problems.

Abstract
Swarm intelligence techniques have been created to respond to theoretical and practical global optimization problems. This paper puts forward an enhanced version of the firefly algorithm that corrects the acknowledged drawbacks of the original method, by an explicit exploration mechanism and a chaotic local search strategy. The resulting augmented approach was theoretically tested on two sets of bound-constrained benchmark functions from the CEC suites and practically validated for automatically selecting the optimal dropout rate for the regularization of deep neural networks. Despite their successful applications in a wide spectrum of different fields, one important problem that deep learning algorithms face is overfitting. The traditional way of preventing overfitting is to apply regularization; the first option in this sense is the choice of an adequate value for the dropout parameter. In order to demonstrate its ability in finding an optimal dropout rate, the boosted version of the firefly algorithm has been validated for the deep learning subfield of convolutional neural networks, with respect to five standard benchmark datasets for image processing: MNIST, Fashion-MNIST, Semeion, USPS and CIFAR-10. The performance of the proposed approach in both types of experiments was compared with other recent state-of-the-art methods. To prove that there are significant improvements in results, statistical tests were conducted. Based on the experimental data, it can be concluded that the proposed algorithm clearly outperforms other approaches.

Abstract
Aquila Optimizer (AO) and Harris Hawks Optimizer (HHO) are recently proposed meta-heuristic optimization algorithms. AO possesses strong global exploration capability but insufficient local exploitation ability. However, the exploitation phase of HHO is pretty good, while the exploration capability is far from satisfactory. Considering the characteristics of these two algorithms, an improved hybrid AO and HHO combined with a nonlinear escaping energy parameter and random opposition-based learning strategy is proposed, namely IHAOHHO, to improve the searching performance in this paper. Firstly, combining the salient features of AO and HHO retains valuable exploration and exploitation capabilities. In the second place, random opposition-based learning (ROBL) is added in the exploitation phase to improve local optima avoidance. Finally, the nonlinear escaping energy parameter is utilized better to balance the exploration and exploitation phases of IHAOHHO. These two strategies effectively enhance the exploration and exploitation of the proposed algorithm. To verify the optimization performance, IHAOHHO is comprehensively analyzed on 23 standard benchmark functions. Moreover, the practicability of IHAOHHO is also highlighted by four industrial engineering design problems. Compared with the original AO and HHO and five state-of-the-art algorithms, the results show that IHAOHHO has strong superior performance and promising prospects.
