AbstractThis paper reviews the application of the algorithm particle swarm optimization (PSO) to perform stochastic inverse modeling of geophysical data. The main features of PSO are summarized, and the most important contributions in several geophysical fields are analyzed. The aim is to indicate the fundamental steps of the evolution of PSO methodologies that have been adopted to model the Earth’s subsurface and then to undertake a critical evaluation of their benefits and limitations. Original works have been selected from the existing geophysical literature to illustrate successful PSO applied to the interpretation of electromagnetic (magnetotelluric and time-domain) data, gravimetric and magnetic data, self-potential, direct current and seismic data. These case studies are critically described and compared. In addition, joint optimization of multiple geophysical data sets by means of multi-objective PSO is presented to highlight the advantage of using a single solver that deploys Pareto optimality to handle different data sets without conflicting solutions. Finally, we propose best practices for the implementation of a customized algorithm from scratch to perform stochastic inverse modeling of any kind of geophysical data sets for the benefit of PSO practitioners or inexperienced researchers.

It has been recently revealed that particle swarm optimization (PSO) is a modern global optimization method and it has been used in many real world engineering problems to estimate model parameters. PSO has also led as tremendous alternative method to conventional geophysical modeling techniques which suffer from dependence to initial model, linearization problems and being trapped at a local minimum. An area neglected in using PSO is joint modeling of geophysical data sets having different sensivities, whereas this kind of modeling with multiobjective optimization techniques has become an important issue to increase the uniqueness of the model parameters. However, using of subjective and unpredictable weighting to objective functions may cause a misleading solution in multiobjective optimization. Multiobjective PSO (MOPSO) with Pareto approach allows obtaining set of solutions including a joint optimal solution without weighting requirements. This chapter begins with an overview of PSO and Pareto-based MOPSO presented their mathematical formulation, algorithms and alternate approaches used in these methods. The chapter goes on to present a series synthetic modeled of seismological data that is one kind of geophysical data by using of Pareto-based multiobjective PSO. According to results matched perfectly, we believe that multiobjective PSO is an innovative approach to joint modeling of such data.

The study is concerned with data and feature reduction in fuzzy modeling. As these reduction activities are advantageous to fuzzy models in terms of both the effectiveness of their construction and the interpretation of the resulting models, their realization deserves particular attention. The formation of a subset of meaningful features and a subset of essential instances is discussed in the context of fuzzy-rule-based models. In contrast to the existing studies, which are focused predominantly on feature selection (namely, a reduction of the input space), a position advocated here is that a reduction has to involve both data and features to become efficient to the design of fuzzy model. The reduction problem is combinatorial in its nature and, as such, calls for the use of advanced optimization techniques. In this study, we use a technique of particle swarm optimization (PSO) as an optimization vehicle of forming a subset of features and data (instances) to design a fuzzy model. Given the dimensionality of the problem (as the search space involves both features and instances), we discuss a cooperative version of the PSO along with a clustering mechanism of forming a partition of the overall search space. Finally, a series of numeric experiments using several machine learning data sets is presented.

Setting a compact and accurate rule base constitutes the principal objective in designing fuzzy rule-based classifiers. In this regard, the authors propose a designing scheme based on the combination of the subtractive clustering (SC) and the particle swarm optimization (PSO). The main idea relies on the application of the SC on each class separately and with a different radius in order to generate regions that are more accurate, and to represent each region by a fuzzy rule. However, the number of rules is then affected by the radiuses, which are the main preset parameters of the SC. The PSO is therefore used to define the optimal radiuses. To get good compromise accuracy-compactness, the authors propose using a multi-objective function for the PSO. The performances of the proposed method are tested on well-known data sets and compared with several state-of-the-art methods.

Particle swarm optimization (PSO) is a global optimization strategy that simulates the social behavior observed in a flock (swarm) of birds searching for food. A simple search strategy in PSO guides the algorithm toward the best solution through constant updating of the cognitive knowledge and social behavior of the particles in the swarm. To evaluate the applicability of PSO to inversion of geophysical data, we inverted three noise-corrupted synthetic sounding data sets over a multilayered 1D earth model by using DC, induced polarization (IP), and magnetotelluric (MT) methods. The results show that acceptable solutions can be obtained with a swarm of about 300 particles and that convergence occurs in less than 100 iterations. The time required to execute a PSO algorithm is comparable to that of a genetic algorithm (GA). Similarly, the models estimated from PSO and GA are close to the true solutions. Whereas a ridge regression (RR) algorithm converges in four to eight iterations, it yields satisfactory results only when the initial model is very close to the true model. Models estimated from PSO explain observed, vertical electric sounding (VES) and MT data, from Bhiwani district, Haryana, India, and the Chottanagpur gneissic complex, Dhanbad, India. The results are consistent with RR and GA inversions.

A new intelligent hybrid method for inverse modeling (Parameter Identification) of leakage from the body and foundation of earth dams considering transient flow model has been presented in this paper. The main objective is to determine the permeability in different parts of the dams using observation data. An objective function which concurrently employs time series of hydraulic heads and flow rates observations has been defined to overcome the ill-posedness issue (nonuniqueness and instability of the identified parameters). A finite element model which considers all construction phases of an earth dam has been generated and then orthogonal design, back propagation artificial neural network and Particle Swarm Optimization algorithm has been used simultaneously to perform inverse modeling. The suggested method has been used for inverse modeling of seepage in Baft dam in Kerman, Iran as a case study. Permeability coefficients of different parts of the dam have been inspected for three distinct predefined cases and in all three cases excellent results have been attained. The highly fitting results confirm the applicability of the recommended procedure in the inverse modeling of real large-scale problems to find the origin of leakage channels which not only reduces the calculation cost but also raises the consistency and efficacy in such problems.

With the advancement of smart devices and cloud computing, more and more public health data can be collected from various sources and analyzed in unprecedented ways. The enormous social and academic impact of this development has led to a global buzz for bigdata. Moreover, due to the massive data source, the security of big data in the cloud is becoming an important issue. In these days, various issues have arisen in the field of big data security, such as Infrastructure security, data confidentiality, data management and data integrity. In this paper, we propose a novel technique based on Artificial Neural Network-and Particle Swarm Optimization Algorithm (ANNPSO) for enabling a highly secured framework. The ANN-PSO method was created to predict health status from a database and its functions were selected from these data sets. The particle swarm optimization algorithm matches the ANN for better results by reducing errors. The results show the potential of the ANNPSO-based methodology for satisfactory health prediction results. This proposed approach will be tested using large medical data in a Hadoop environment. The proposed work will be carried out in the JAVA work phase.

Feature selection can classify the data with irrelevant features and improve the accuracy of data classification in pattern classification. At present, back propagation (BP) neural network and particle swarm optimization algorithm can be well combined with feature selection. On this basis, this paper adds interference factors to BP neural network and particle swarm optimization algorithm to improve the accuracy and practicability of feature selection. This paper summarizes the basic methods and requirements for feature selection and combines the benefits of global optimization with the feedback mechanism of BP neural networks to feature based on backpropagation and particle swarm optimization (BP-PSO). Firstly, a chaotic model is introduced to increase the diversity of particles in the initial process of particle swarm optimization, and an adaptive factor is introduced to enhance the global search ability of the algorithm. Then, the number of features is optimized to reduce the number of features on the basis of ensuring the accuracy of feature selection. Finally, different data sets are introduced to test the accuracy of feature selection, and the evaluation mechanisms of encapsulation mode and filtering mode are used to verify the practicability of the model. The results show that the average accuracy of BP-PSO is 8.65% higher than the suboptimal NDFs model in different data sets, and the performance of BP-PSO is 2.31% to 18.62% higher than the benchmark method in all data sets. It shows that BP-PSO can select more distinguishing feature subsets, which verifies the accuracy and practicability of this model.

Selecting an optimum subset of features from a large set of features is an important pre- processing step for pattern classification, data mining, or machine learning applications. Feature subset selection basically comprises of defining a criterion function for evaluation of the feature subset and developing a search strategy to find the best feature subset from a large number of feature subsets. Lots of mathematical and statistical techniques have been proposed so far. Recently biologically inspired computing is gaining popularity for solving real world problems for their more flexibility compared to traditional statistical or mathematical techniques. In this chapter, the role of Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO), one of the recently developed bio-inspired evolutionary computational (EC) approaches in designing algorithms for producing optimal feature subset from a large feature set, is examined. A state of the art review on Particle Swarm Optimization algorithms and its hybrids with other soft computing techniques for feature subset selection are presented followed by author’s proposals of PSO based algorithms. Simple simulation experiments with benchmark data sets and their results are shown to evaluate their respective effectiveness and comparative performance in selecting best feature subset from a set of features.
