Abstract
The Dung beetle optimization (DBO) algorithm, devised by Jiankai Xue in 2022, is known for its strong optimization capabilities and fast convergence. However, it does have certain limitations, including insufficiently random population initialization, slow search speed, and inadequate global search capabilities. Drawing inspiration from the mathematical properties of the Sinh and Cosh functions, we proposed a new metaheuristic algorithm, Sinh-Cosh Dung Beetle Optimization (SCDBO). By leveraging the Sinh and Cosh functions to disrupt the initial distribution of DBO and balance the development of rollerball dung beetles, SCDBO enhances the search efficiency and global exploration capabilities of DBO through nonlinear enhancements. These improvements collectively enhance the performance of the dung beetle optimization algorithm, making it more adept at solving complex real-world problems. To evaluate the performance of the SCDBO algorithm, we compared it with seven typical algorithms using the CEC2017 test functions. Additionally, by successfully applying it to three engineering problems, robot arm design, pressure vessel problem, and unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) path planning, we further demonstrate the superiority of the SCDBO algorithm.

Abstract
Accurate classification of electromyographic (EMG) signals is vital in biomedical applications. This study evaluates different architectures of recurrent neural networks for the classification of EMG signals associated with five movements of the right upper extremity. A Butterworth filter was implemented for signal preprocessing, followed by segmentation into 250 ms windows, with an overlap of 190 ms. The resulting dataset was divided into training, validation, and testing subsets. The Grey Wolf Optimization algorithm was applied to the gated recurrent unit (GRU), long short-term memory (LSTM) architectures, and bidirectional recurrent neural networks. In parallel, a performance comparison with support vector machines (SVMs) was performed. The results obtained in the first experimental phase revealed that all the RNN networks evaluated reached a 100% accuracy, standing above the 93% achieved by the SVM. Regarding classification speed, LSTM ranked as the fastest architecture, recording a time of 0.12 ms, followed by GRU with 0.134 ms. Bidirectional recurrent neural networks showed a response time of 0.2 ms, while SVM had the longest time at 2.7 ms. In the second experimental phase, a slight decrease in the accuracy of the RNN models was observed, standing at 98.46% for LSTM, 96.38% for GRU, and 97.63% for the bidirectional network. The findings of this study highlight the effectiveness and speed of recurrent neural networks in the EMG signal classification task.

Abstract
The growing intricacies in engineering, energy, and geology pose substantial challenges for decision makers, demanding efficient solutions for real-world production. The water flow optimizer (WFO) is an advanced metaheuristic algorithm proposed in 2021, but it still faces the challenge of falling into local optima. In order to adapt WFO more effectively to specific domains and address optimization problems more efficiently, this paper introduces an enhanced water flow optimizer (CCWFO) designed to enhance the convergence speed and accuracy of the algorithm by integrating a cross-search strategy. Comparative experiments, conducted on the CEC2017 benchmarks, illustrate the superior global optimization capability of CCWFO compared to other metaheuristic algorithms. The application of CCWFO to the production optimization of a three-channel reservoir model is explored, with a specific focus on a comparative analysis against several classical evolutionary algorithms. The experimental findings reveal that CCWFO achieves a higher net present value (NPV) within the same limited number of evaluations, establishing itself as a compelling alternative for reservoir production optimization.

Abstract
The application of artificial intelligence in everyday life is becoming all-pervasive and unavoidable. Within that vast field, a special place belongs to biomimetic/bio-inspired algorithms for multiparameter optimization, which find their use in a large number of areas. Novel methods and advances are being published at an accelerated pace. Because of that, in spite of the fact that there are a lot of surveys and reviews in the field, they quickly become dated. Thus, it is of importance to keep pace with the current developments. In this review, we first consider a possible classification of bio-inspired multiparameter optimization methods because papers dedicated to that area are relatively scarce and often contradictory. We proceed by describing in some detail some more prominent approaches, as well as those most recently published. Finally, we consider the use of biomimetic algorithms in two related wide fields, namely microelectronics (including circuit design optimization) and nanophotonics (including inverse design of structures such as photonic crystals, nanoplasmonic configurations and metamaterials). We attempted to keep this broad survey self-contained so it can be of use not only to scholars in the related fields, but also to all those interested in the latest developments in this attractive area.

Abstract
The advent of next-generation sequencing (NGS) technologies has revolutionized the field of bioinformatics and genomics, particularly in the area of onco-somatic genetics. NGS has provided a wealth of information about the genetic changes that underlie cancer and has considerably improved our ability to diagnose and treat cancer. However, the large amount of data generated by NGS makes it difficult to interpret the variants. To address this, machine learning algorithms such as Extreme Gradient Boosting (XGBoost) have become increasingly important tools in the analysis of NGS data. In this paper, we present a machine learning tool that uses XGBoost to predict the pathogenicity of a mutation in the myeloid panel. We optimized the performance of XGBoost using metaheuristic algorithms and compared our predictions with the decisions of biologists and other prediction tools. The myeloid panel is a critical component in the diagnosis and treatment of myeloid neoplasms, and the sequencing of this panel allows for the identification of specific genetic mutations, enabling more accurate diagnoses and tailored treatment plans. We used datasets collected from our myeloid panel NGS analysis to train the XGBoost algorithm. It represents a data collection of 15,977 mutations variants composed of a collection of 13,221 Single Nucleotide Variants (SNVs), 73 Multiple Nucleoid Variants (MNVs), and 2683 insertion deletions (INDELs). The optimal XGBoost hyperparameters were found with Differential Evolution (DE), with an accuracy of 99.35%, precision of 98.70%, specificity of 98.71%, and sensitivity of 1.

Abstract
Background Early stroke prognosis assessments are critical for decision-making regarding therapeutic intervention. We introduced the concepts of data combination, method integration, and algorithm parallelization, aiming to build an integrated deep learning model based on a combination of clinical and radiomics features and analyze its application value in prognosis prediction. Methods The research steps in this study include data source and feature extraction, data processing and feature fusion, model building and optimization, model training, and so on. Using data from 441 stroke patients, clinical and radiomics features were extracted, and feature selection was performed. Clinical, radiomics, and combined features were included to construct predictive models. We applied the concept of deep integration to the joint analysis of multiple deep learning methods, used a metaheuristic algorithm to improve the parameter search efficiency, and finally, developed an acute ischemic stroke (AIS) prognosis prediction method, namely, the optimized ensemble of deep learning (OEDL) method. Results Among the clinical features, 17 features passed the correlation check. Among the radiomics features, 19 features were selected. In the comparison of the prediction performance of each method, the OEDL method based on the concept of ensemble optimization had the best classification performance. In the comparison to the predictive performance of each feature, the inclusion of the combined features resulted in better classification performance than that of the clinical and radiomics features. In the comparison to the prediction performance of each balanced method, SMOTEENN, which is based on a hybrid sampling method, achieved the best classification performance than that of the unbalanced, oversampled, and undersampled methods. The OEDL method with combined features and mixed sampling achieved the best classification performance, with 97.89, 95.74, 94.75, 94.03, and 94.35% for Macro-AUC, ACC, Macro-R, Macro-P, and Macro-F1, respectively, and achieved advanced performance in comparison with that of methods in previous studies. Conclusion The OEDL approach proposed herein could effectively achieve improved stroke prognosis prediction performance, the effect of using combined data modeling was significantly better than that of single clinical or radiomics feature models, and the proposed method had a better intervention guidance value. Our approach is beneficial for optimizing the early clinical intervention process and providing the necessary clinical decision support for personalized treatment.

Abstract
Sensitivity analyses encompass a broad set of post-analytic techniques that are characterized as measuring the potential impact of any factor that has an effect on some output variables of a model. This research focuses on the utility of the simulated annealing algorithm to automatically identify path configurations and parameter values of omitted confounders in structural equation modeling (SEM). An empirical example based on a past published study is used to illustrate how strongly related an omitted variable must be to model variables for the conclusions of an analysis to change. The algorithm is outlined in detail and the results stemming from the sensitivity analysis are discussed.

Abstract
Vibration-based damage detection methods are a subcategory of Structural Health Monitoring (SHM) methods that rely on the fact that structural damage will affect the dynamic characteristic of a structure. The presented methodology uses Finite Element Models coupled with a metaheuristic optimization algorithm in order to locate the damage in a structure. The search domains of the optimization algorithm are the variables that control a parametric area, which is inserted into the FE model. During the optimization procedure, this area changes location, stiffness, and mass to simulate the effect of the physical damage. The final output is a damaged FE model which can approximate the dynamic response of the damaged structure and indicate the damaged area. For the current implementation of this Damage Detection Framework, the Particle Swarm Optimization algorithm is used. As an effective metric of the comparison between the FE model and the experimental structure, Transmittance Functions (TF) are used that require output only acceleration signals. As with most model-based methods, a common concern is the modeling error and how this can be surpassed. For this reason, the Dynamic Time Wrapping (DTW) algorithm is applied. When damage occurs in a structure it creates some differences between the Transmittance Functions (TF) of the healthy and the damaged state. With the use of DTW, the damaged pattern is recreated around the TF of the FE model, while creating the same differences and, thus, minimizing the modeling error. The effectiveness of the proposed methodology is tested on a small truss structure that consists of Carbon-Fiber Reinforced Polymer (CFRP) filament wound beams and aluminum connectors, where four cases are examined with the damage to be located on the composite material.

Abstract
Salp swarm algorithm (SSA) is a simple and effective bio-inspired algorithm that is gaining popularity in global optimization problems. In this paper, first, based on the pinhole imaging phenomenon and opposition-based learning mechanism, a new strategy called pinhole-imaging-based learning (PIBL) is proposed. Then, the PIBL strategy is combined with orthogonal experimental design (OED) to propose an OPIBL mechanism that helps the algorithm to jump out of the local optimum. Second, a novel effective adaptive conversion parameter method is designed to enhance the balance between exploration and exploitation ability. To validate the performance of OPLSSA, comparative experiments are conducted based on 23 widely used benchmark functions and 30 IEEE CEC2017 benchmark problems. Compared with some well-established algorithms, OPLSSA performs better in most of the benchmark problems.

Abstract
Electromyography (EMG) processing is a fundamental part of medical research. It offers the possibility of developing new devices and techniques for the diagnosis, treatment, care, and rehabilitation of patients, in most cases non-invasively. However, EMG signals are random, non-stationary, and non-linear, making their classification difficult. Due to this, it is of vital importance to define which factors are helpful for the classification process. In order to improve this process, it is possible to apply algorithms capable of identifying which features are most important in the categorization process. Algorithms based on metaheuristic methods have demonstrated an ability to search for suitable subsets of features for optimization problems. Therefore, this work proposes a methodology based on genetic algorithms for feature selection to find the parameter space that offers the slightest classification error in 250 ms signal segments. For classification, a support vector machine is used. For this work, two databases were used, the first corresponding to the right upper extremity and the second formed by movements of the right lower extremity. For both databases, a feature space reduction of over 65% was obtained, with a higher average classification efficiency of 91% for the best subset of parameters. In addition, particle swarm optimization (PSO) was applied based on right upper extremity data, obtaining an 88% average error and a 46% reduction for the best subset of parameters. Finally, a sensitivity analysis was applied to the characteristics selected by PSO and genetic algorithms for the database of the right upper extremity, obtaining that the parameters determined by the genetic algorithms show greater sensitivity for the classification process.

The hybrid optimization of modern cementitious materials requires concrete to meet many competing objectives (e.g., mechanical properties, cost, workability, environmental requirements, and durability). This paper reviews the current literature on optimizing mixing ratios using machine learning and metaheuristic optimization algorithms based on past studies on varying methods. In this review, we first discuss the conventional methods for mixing optimization of cementitious materials. Then, the problem expression of hybrid optimization is discussed, including decision variables, constraints, machine learning algorithms for modeling objectives, and metaheuristic optimization algorithms for searching the best mixture ratio. Finally, we explore the development prospects of this field, including, expanding the database by combining field data, considering more influencing variables, and considering more competitive targets in the production of functional cemented materials. In addition, to overcome the limitation of the swarm intelligence-based multi-objective optimization (MOO) algorithm in hybrid optimization, this paper proposes a new MOO algorithm based on individual intelligence (multi-objective beetle antenna search algorithm). The development of computationally efficient robust MOO models will continue to make progress in the field of hybrid optimization. This review is adapted for engineers and researchers who want to optimize the mixture proportions of cementitious materials using machine learning and metaheuristic algorithms.

Abstract
The PID control algorithm for balancing robot attitude control suffers from the problem of difficult parameter tuning. Previous studies have proposed using metaheuristic algorithms to tune the PID parameters. However, traditional metaheuristic algorithms are subject to the criticism of premature convergence and the possibility of falling into local optimum solutions. Therefore, the present paper proposes a CFHBA-PID algorithm for balancing robot Dual-loop PID attitude control based on Honey Badger Algorithm (HBA) and CF-ITAE. On the one hand, HBA maintains a sufficiently large population diversity throughout the search process and employs a dynamic search strategy for balanced exploration and exploitation, effectively avoiding the problems of classical intelligent optimization algorithms and serving as a global search. On the other hand, a novel complementary factor (CF) is proposed to complement integrated time absolute error (ITAE) with the overshoot amount, resulting in a new rectification indicator CF-ITAE, which balances the overshoot amount and the response time during parameter tuning. Using balancing robot as the experimental object, HBA-PID is compared with AOA-PID, WOA-PID, and PSO-PID, and the results demonstrate that HBA-PID outperforms the other three algorithms in terms of overshoot amount, stabilization time, ITAE, and convergence speed, proving that the algorithm combining HBA with PID is better than the existing mainstream algorithms. The comparative experiments using CF prove that CFHBA-PID is able to effectively control the overshoot amount in attitude control. In conclusion, the CFHBA-PID algorithm has great control and significant results when applied to the balancing robot.

Abstract
Nowadays, artificial intelligence has gained recognition in every aspect of life. Artificial neural networks, one of the most efficient artificial intelligence techniques, is remarkably successful in computers' acquisition of the learning and interpretation capabilities of humans and attainment of meaningful results. Whether artificial intelligence networks can yield meaningful results is directly related to how the network is trained. The traditional algorithms, which are used to train artificial intelligence networks, do not always yield successful results in complicated problems and real-life problems. Metaheuristic algorithms are efficient techniques developed in order to figure out time-consuming and challenging problems fast and as optimally as possible. This study makes use of the artificial bee colony algorithm, which has been widely used recently in solving many kinds of problems so as to train artificial neural networks efficiently. Within this study, different strategies are used on subpopulations, so that the algorithm can search without getting tangled with the local optima. And also same and different parameter settings are considered for each population to reflect different search behaviours. The proposed approach was analysed through applied results of different data sets. The results yielded that the used strategies can be promising alternatives to the current search algorithms.

Abstract
In this research, we propose an unsupervised method for segmentation and edge extraction of color images on the HSV space. This approach is composed of two different phases in which are applied two metaheuristic algorithms, respectively the Firefly (FA) and the Artificial Bee Colony (ABC) algorithms. In the first phase, we performed a pixel-based segmentation on each color channel, applying the FA algorithm and the Gaussian Mixture Model. The FA algorithm automatically detects the number of clusters, given by histogram maxima of each single-band image. The detected maxima define the initial means for the parameter estimation of the GMM. Applying the Bayes’ rule, the posterior probabilities of the GMM can be used for assigning pixels to clusters. After processing each color channel, we recombined the segmented components in the final multichannel image. A further reduction in the resultant cluster colors is obtained using the inner product as a similarity index. In the second phase, once we have assigned all pixels to the corresponding classes of the HSV space, we carry out the second step with a region-based segmentation applied to the corresponding grayscale image. For this purpose, the bioinspired Artificial Bee Colony algorithm is performed for edge extraction.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE We aimed to reduce the complexity of the 52-channel functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS) system to facilitate its usage in discriminating schizophrenia during a verbal fluency task (VFT). METHODS Oxygenated hemoglobin signals obtained using 52-channel fNIRS from 100 patients with schizophrenia and 100 healthy controls during a VFT were collected and processed. Three features frequently used in the analysis of fNIRS signals, namely time average, functional connectivity, and wavelet, were extracted and optimized using various metaheuristic operators, i.e., genetic algorithm (GA), particle swarm optimization (PSO), and their parallel and serial hybrid algorithms. Support vector machine (SVM) was used as the classifier, and the performance was evaluated by ten-fold cross-validation. RESULTS GA and GA-dominant algorithms achieved higher accuracy compared to PSO and PSO-dominant algorithms. An optimal accuracy of 87.00% using 16 channels was obtained by GA and wavelet analysis. A parallel hybrid algorithm (the best 50% individuals assigned to GA) achieved an accuracy of 86.50% with 8 channels on the time-domain feature, comparable to the reported accuracy obtained using 52 channels. CONCLUSION The fNIRS system can be greatly simplified while retaining accuracy comparable to that of the 52-channel system, thus promoting its applications in the diagnosis of schizophrenia in low-resource environments. Evolutionary algorithm-dominant optimization of time-domain features is promising in this regard.

Abstract
Moth-flame optimization (MFO) algorithm inspired by the transverse orientation of moths toward the light source is an effective approach to solve global optimization problems. However, the MFO algorithm suffers from issues such as premature convergence, low population diversity, local optima entrapment, and imbalance between exploration and exploitation. In this study, therefore, an improved moth-flame optimization (I-MFO) algorithm is proposed to cope with canonical MFO's issues by locating trapped moths in local optimum via defining memory for each moth. The trapped moths tend to escape from the local optima by taking advantage of the adapted wandering around search (AWAS) strategy. The efficiency of the proposed I-MFO is evaluated by CEC 2018 benchmark functions and compared against other well-known metaheuristic algorithms. Moreover, the obtained results are statistically analyzed by the Friedman test on 30, 50, and 100 dimensions. Finally, the ability of the I-MFO algorithm to find the best optimal solutions for mechanical engineering problems is evaluated with three problems from the latest test-suite CEC 2020. The experimental and statistical results demonstrate that the proposed I-MFO is significantly superior to the contender algorithms and it successfully upgrades the shortcomings of the canonical MFO.

Abstract
The California Bearing Ratio (CBR) is an important index for evaluating the bearing capacity of pavement subgrade materials. In this research, random subspace optimization-based hybrid computing models were trained and developed for the prediction of the CBR of soil. Three models were developed, namely reduced error pruning trees (REPTs), random subsurface-based REPT (RSS-REPT), and RSS-based extra tree (RSS-ET). An experimental database was compiled from a total of 214 soil samples, which were classified according to AASHTO M 145, and included 26 samples of A-2-6 (clayey gravel and sand soil), 3 samples of A-4 (silty soil), 89 samples of A-6 (clayey soil), and 96 samples of A-7-6 (clayey soil). All CBR tests were performed in soaked conditions. The input parameters of the models included the particle size distribution, gravel content (G), coarse sand content (CS), fine sand content (FS), silt clay content (SC), organic content (O), liquid limit (LL), plastic limit (PL), plasticity index (PI), optimum moisture content (OMC), and maximum dry density (MDD). The accuracy of the developed models was assessed using numerous performance indexes, such as the coefficient of determination, relative error, MAE, and RMSE. The results show that the highest prediction accuracy was obtained using the RSS-based extra tree optimization technique.

Abstract
This work aims at presenting an advanced simulation approach for a novel rhamnolipidic-based bioflotation process to remove chromium from wastewater. For this purpose, the significance of key influential operating variables including initial solution pH (2, 4, 6, 8, 10 and 12), rhamnolipid to chromium ratio (RL:Cr = 0.010, 0.025, 0.050, 0.075 and 0.100), reductant (Fe) to chromium ratio (Fe:Cr of 0.5, 1.0, 1.5, 2.0, 2.5, 3.0), and air flowrate (50, 100, 150, 200 and 250 mL/min) were investigated and evaluated using Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) method. The RL as both collector and frother was produced using a pure strain of Pseudomonas aeruginosa MA01 under specific conditions. The bioflotation tests were carried out within a bubbly regimed column cell with the dimensions of 60 × 5.70 × 0.1 cm. Four optimization techniques based on Artificial Neural Network (ANN) including Cuckoo, genetic, firefly and biogeography-based optimization algorithms were applied to 113 experiments to identify the optimum values of studied factors. The ANOVA results revealed that all four variables influence the bioflotation performance through a non-linear trend. Their influences, except for aeration rate, were found statistically significant (p-value < 0.05), and all parameters followed the normal distribution according to Anderson-Darlin (AD) criterion. Maximum chromium removal of about 98% was achieved at pH of 6, rhamnolipid to chromium ratio of 0.05, air flowrate of 150 mL/min, and Fe to Cr ratio of 1.0. Flotation kinetics study indicated that chromium bioflotation follows the first-order kinetic model with a rate of 0.023 sec-1. According to the statistical assessment of the model accuracy, the firefly algorithm (FFA) with a structure of 4-9-1 yielded the highest level of reliability with the mean squared, root mean squared, percentage errors and correlation coefficient values of test-data of 0.0038, 0.0617, 3.08% and 96.92%, respectively. These values were evidences of the consistency of the well-structured ANN method to simulate the process.

Abstract
This study compares automated methods to develop short forms of psychometric scales. Obtaining a short form that has both adequate internal structure and strong validity with respect to relationships with other variables is difficult with traditional methods of short-form development. Metaheuristic algorithms can select items for short forms while optimizing on several validity criteria, such as adequate model fit, composite reliability, and relationship to external variables. Using a Monte Carlo simulation study, this study compared existing implementations of the ant colony optimization, Tabu search, and genetic algorithm to select short forms of scales, as well as a new implementation of the simulated annealing algorithm. Selection of short forms of scales with unidimensional, multidimensional, and bifactor structure were evaluated, with and without model misspecification and/or an external variable. The results showed that when the confirmatory factor analysis model of the full form of the scale was correctly specified or had only minor misspecification, the four algorithms produced short forms with good psychometric qualities that maintained the desired factor structure of the full scale. Major model misspecification resulted in worse performance for all algorithms, but including an external variable only had minor effects on results. The simulated annealing algorithm showed the best overall performance as well as robustness to model misspecification, while the genetic algorithm produced short forms with worse fit than the other algorithms under conditions with model misspecification.

Abstract
Particle swarm optimization (PSO) is an increasingly popular metaheuristic algorithm for solving complex optimization problems. Its popularity is due to its repeated successes in finding an optimum or a near optimal solution for problems in many applied disciplines. The algorithm makes no assumption of the function to be optimized and for biomedical experiments like those presented here, PSO typically finds the optimal solutions in a few seconds of CPU time on a garden-variety laptop. We apply PSO to find various types of optimal designs for several problems in the biological sciences and compare PSO performance relative to the differential evolution algorithm, another popular metaheuristic algorithm in the engineering literature.
