By using the information of the iteration number and the maximum iteration number, the proposed algorithm uses the floor function to ensure that the fruit fly swarms adopt the large step search during the olfactory search stage which improves the search speed;in the visual search stage, the small step is used to effectively avoid local optimum. Finally, using commonly used benchmark testing functions, the proposed algorithm is compared with the standard fruit fly optimization algorithm with some fixed steps. The simulation experiment results show that the proposed algorithm can quickly approach the optimal solution in the olfactory search stage and accurately search in the visual search stage, demonstrating more effective performance.展开更多

摘要Much of our daily tasks have been computerized by machines and sensors communicating with each other in real-time.There is a reasonable risk that something could go wrong because there are a lot of sensors producing a lot of data.Combinatorial testing(CT)can be used in this case to reduce risks and ensure conformance to specifications.Numerous existing metaheuristic-based solutions aim to assist the test suite generation for combinatorial testing,also known as t-way testing(where t indicates the interaction strength),viewed as an optimization problem.Much previous research,while helpful,only investigated a small number of interaction strengths up to t=6.For lightweight applications,research has demonstrated good fault-finding ability.However,the number of interaction strengths considered must be higher in the case of interactions that generate large amounts of data.Due to resource restrictions and the combinatorial explosion challenge,little work has been done to produce high-order interaction strength.In this context,the Whale Optimization Algorithm(WOA)is proposed to generate high-order interaction strength.To ensure that WOA conquers premature convergence and avoids local optima for large search spaces(owing to high-order interaction),three variants of WOA have been developed,namely Structurally Modified Whale Optimization Algorithm(SWOA),Tolerance Whale Optimization Algorithm(TWOA),and Tolerance Structurally Modified Whale Optimization Algorithm(TSWOA).Our experiments show that the third strategy gives the best performance and is comparable to existing state-of-thearts based strategies.
摘要A two-layer implicit difference scheme is employed in the present study to determine the temperature distribution in an asphalt pavement.The calculation of each layer only needs four iterations to achieve convergence.Furthermore,in order to improve the calculation accuracy a swarm intelligence optimization algorithm is also exploited to inversely analyze the laws by which the thermal physical parameters of the asphalt pavement materials change with temperature.Using the basic cuckoo and the gray wolf algorithms,an adaptive hybrid optimization algorithm is obtained and used to determine the relationship between the thermal diffusivity of two types of asphalt pavement materials and the temperature.As shown by the results,the prediction accuracy achievable with this approach is higher than that of the linear model.

摘要In this paper, we present a new fruit fly optimization algorithm with the adaptive step for solving unconstrained optimization problems, which is able to avoid the slow convergence and the tendency to fall into local optimum of the standard fruit fly optimization algorithm. By using the information of the iteration number and the maximum iteration number, the proposed algorithm uses the floor function to ensure that the fruit fly swarms adopt the large step search during the olfactory search stage which improves the search speed;in the visual search stage, the small step is used to effectively avoid local optimum. Finally, using commonly used benchmark testing functions, the proposed algorithm is compared with the standard fruit fly optimization algorithm with some fixed steps. The simulation experiment results show that the proposed algorithm can quickly approach the optimal solution in the olfactory search stage and accurately search in the visual search stage, demonstrating more effective performance.

摘要Accurate and interpretable prediction of shield tunnel-induced settlement poses a significant challenge due to the complex interplay of various influencing factors.This paper proposes a novel interpretable hybrid model that combines complete ensemble empirical mode decomposition with adaptive noise(CEEMDAN),slime mold algorithm(SMA),and least squares support vector machine(LSSVM)to enhance prediction accuracy and model transparency.The CEEMDAN method,optimized by SMA,decomposes settlement data into intrinsic mode functions(IMFs)and residuals,thereby reducing data noise.The LSSVM,also optimized by SMA,is then applied to predict each IMF and residual.The final settlement prediction is derived from the aggregation of these results.The model was rigorously validated using the Changsha(China)and Singapore Metro projects,demonstrating superior performance to traditional machine learning models.The evaluation metrics,including root mean square error(RMSE),mean absolute error(MAE),mean absolute percentage error(MAPE),and coefficient of determination(R2),underscore the model's effectiveness.The model achieved the lowest error rates and highest accuracy across these metrics.Notably,Shapley additive explanations(SHAP)provided insights into the model's decision-making process,identifying shield stoppage and moisture content as the most influential factors in settlement prediction.This study contributes to the advancement of the methodological framework for predicting tunnel settlement.It addresses the discrepancy between prediction accuracy and interpretability,providing a robust tool for practical engineering applications.

摘要Using the traditional swarm intelligence algorithm to solve the cooperative path planning problem for multi-UAVs is easy to incur the problems of local optimization and a slow convergence rate.A cooperative path planning method for multi-UAVs based on the improved sheep optimization is proposed to tackle these.Firstly,based on the three-dimensional planning space,a multi-UAV cooperative cost function model is established according to the path planning requirements,and an initial track set is constructed by combining multiple-population ideas.Then an improved sheep optimization is proposed and used to solve the path planning problem and obtain multiple cooperative paths.The simulation results show that the sheep optimization can meet the requirements of path planning and realize the cooperative path planning of multi-UAVs.Compared with grey wolf optimizer(GWO),improved gray wolf optimizer(IGWO),chaotic gray wolf optimizer(CGWO),differential evolution(DE)algorithm,and particle swam optimization(PSO),the convergence speed and search accuracy of the improved sheep optimization are significantly improved.

摘要Lupus Nephritis(LN)is a significant risk factor for morbidity and mortality in systemic lupus erythematosus,and nephropathology is still the gold standard for diagnosing LN.To assist pathologists in evaluating histopathological images of LN,a 2D Rényi entropy multi-threshold image segmentation method is proposed in this research to apply to LN images.This method is based on an improved Cuckoo Search(CS)algorithm that introduces a Diffusion Mechanism(DM)and an Adaptiveβ-Hill Climbing(AβHC)strategy called the DMCS algorithm.The DMCS algorithm is tested on 30 benchmark functions of the IEEE CEC2017 dataset.In addition,the DMCS-based multi-threshold image segmentation method is also used to segment renal pathological images.Experimental results show that adding these two strategies improves the DMCS algorithm's ability to find the optimal solution.According to the three image quality evaluation metrics:PSNR,FSIM,and SSIM,the proposed image segmentation method performs well in image segmentation experiments.Our research shows that the DMCS algorithm is a helpful image segmentation method for renal pathological images.
摘要Detecting communities in real and complex networks is a highly contested topic in network analysis.Although many metaheuristic-based algorithms for community detection have been proposed,they still cannot effectively fulfill large-scale and real-world networks.Thus,this paper presents a new discrete version of the Improved Grey Wolf Optimizer(I-GWO)algorithm named DI-GWOCD for effectively detecting communities of different networks.In the proposed DI-GWOCD algorithm,I-GWO is first armed using a local search strategy to discover and improve nodes placed in improper communities and increase its ability to search for a better solution.Then a novel Binary Distance Vector(BDV)is introduced to calculate the wolves’distances and adapt I-GWO for solving the discrete community detection problem.The performance of the proposed DI-GWOCD was evaluated in terms of modularity,NMI,and the number of detected communities conducted by some well-known real-world network datasets.The experimental results were compared with the state-of-the-art algorithms and statistically analyzed using the Friedman and Wilcoxon tests.The comparison and the statistical analysis show that the proposed DI-GWOCD can detect the communities with higher quality than other comparative algorithms.
