In order to overcome the disadvantage of the traditional algorithm for SLFN (single-hidden layer feedforward neural network), an improved algorithm for SLFN, called extreme learning machine (ELM), is proposed by Huang et al. However, ELM is sensitive to the neuron number in hidden layer and its selection is a difficult-to-solve problem. In this paper, a self-adaptive mechanism is introduced into the ELM. Herein, a new variant of ELM, called self-adaptive extreme learning machine (SaELM), is proposed. SaELM is a self-adaptive learning algorithm that can always select the best neuron number in hidden layer to form the neural networks. There is no need to adjust any parameters in the training process. In order to prove the performance of the SaELM, it is used to solve the Italian wine and iris classification problems. Through the comparisons between SaELM and the traditional back propagation, basic ELM and general regression neural network, the results have proven that SaELM has a faster learning speed and better generalization performance when solving the classification problem. 相似文献
This study proposes a novel chaotic cuckoo search (CCS) optimization method by incorporating chaotic theory into cuckoo search (CS) algorithm. In CCS, chaos characteristics are combined with the CS with the intention of further enhancing its performance. Further, the elitism scheme is incorporated into CCS to preserve the best cuckoos. In CCS method, 12 chaotic maps are applied to tune the step size of the cuckoos used in the original CS method. Twenty-seven benchmark functions and an engineering case are utilized to investigate the efficiency of CCS. The results clearly demonstrate that the performance of CCS together with a suitable chaotic map is comparable as well as superior to that of the CS and other metaheuristic algorithms. 相似文献
In order to overcome the poor exploitation of the krill herd (KH) algorithm, a hybrid differential evolution KH (DEKH) method has been developed for function optimization. The improvement involves adding a new hybrid differential evolution (HDE) operator into the krill, updating process for the purpose of dealing with optimization problems more efficiently. The introduced HDE operator inspires the intensification and lets the krill perform local search within the defined region. DEKH is validated by 26 functions. From the results, the proposed methods are able to find more accurate solution than the KH and other methods. In addition, the robustness of the DEKH algorithm and the influence of the initial population size on convergence and performance are investigated by a series of experiments. 相似文献
A variant of particle swarm optimization (PSO) is represented to solve the infinitive impulse response (IIR) system identification problem. Called improved PSO (IPSO), it makes significant enhancement over PSO. To begin with, the population initialization step makes use of golden ratio to segment solution space so as to obtain high-quality solutions. It is followed by all particles using different inertia weights in velocity updating step, which is beneficial for preserving the balance between global search and local search. Subsequently, IPSO uses normal distribution to disturb the global best particle, which enhances its capacity of escaping from the local optimums. The above three operations cannot only guarantee high-quality solutions, strong global search capacity, and fast convergence rate, but also avoid low diversity, excessive local search, and premature stagnation.
These properties of IPSO make it much better suited for IIR system identification problems. IPSO is applied on 12 examples. The experimental results amply demonstrate the capability of IPSO toward obtaining the best objective function values in all the cases. Compared with the other four PSO approaches, IPSO has stronger convergence and higher stability which clearly points out its desirable performance in search accuracy and identifying efficiency.
This paper presents a hybrid krill herd (CSKH) approach to solve structural optimization problems. CSKH improved the Krill herd algorithm (KH) by combining KU/KA operator originated from cuckoo search algorithm (CS) with KH. In CSKH, a greedy selection scheme is used and often overtakes the original KH and CS. In addition, in order to further enhance the assessment of CSKH, a fraction of the worst krill is thrown away and substituted with newly randomly generated ones by KA operator at the end of each generation. The CSKH is applied to five real engineering problems to verify its performance. The experimental results have proven that CSKH algorithm is well capable of solving constrained engineering design problems more efficiently and effectively than the basic CS and KH algorithm.

This paper addresses a novel multi-objective fruit fly optimization algorithm (MOFOA) for solving multi-objective optimization problems. The essence of MOFOA lies in its having two characteristic features. For the first feature, a population of random fruit flies initializes the algorithm. During this initialization phase, the dominated fruit fly is replaced by the nearest non-dominated one. Subsequently, the fruit flies undergo evolution by flying randomly around the non-dominated solution or around the reference point, i.e., the best location of the individual objectives. Afterwards, the fruit flies are updated according to the nearest location whether from the reference point or the previous non-dominated location. For the second feature, the weighted sum method is incorporated to update the previous best locations of fruit flies and the reference point to emphasize the convergence of the non-dominated solutions. To prove the capability of the proposed MOFOA, two standard benchmark problems in addition to the real world application, namely, multi-objective shape design of tubular linear synchronous motor (TLSM) are checked. The corresponding TLSM objective functions aims to maximize operating force and to minimize the flux saturation. The outcomes clearly demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed algorithm for finding the non-dominated solutions. 相似文献
