Abstract In this study, genetic algorithms (GAs) and particle swarm optimization (PSO) are used to make an automated choice of hyperparameters of the multilayer perceptron (MLP)-NARX, extreme learning machine (ELM)-NARX, and echo state network (ESN)-NARX neural models applied to the identification of two photovoltaic systems: one installed in Teresina, in Brazil, and another in Hamburg, Germany. The automatic optimization process results showed that the PSO algorithm presents superior performance compared to the GA algorithm. Likewise, the identification carried out aimed to estimate the power generated by photovoltaic systems from two different approaches: linear mathematical models and neural identification models. Thus, the neural models implemented are more efficient and accurate than the linear mathematical models compared. From accuracy, the neural models ESN-NARX and MLP-NARX were considered the best in identifying Hamburg and Teresina’s photovoltaic systems, respectively.

Design Variables

Although metaheuristic techniques have recently become popular in optimization, still they are not suitable for computationally expensive real-world problems, specifically when the problems have many input variables. Among these techniques, particle swarm optimization (PSO) is one of the most well-known population-based nature-inspired algorithms which can intelligently search huge spaces of possible arrangements of design variables to solve various complex problems. The candidate solutions and accordingly the required number of evaluated particles, however, dramatically increase with the number of design variables or the dimension of the problem. This study is a major modification to an original PSO for using all previously evaluated points aiming to increase the computational efficiency. For this purpose, a metamodeling methodology appropriate for so-called high-dimensional, expensive, black-box (HEB) problems is used to efficiently generate an approximate function from all particles calculated during the optimization process. Following the metamodel construction, a term named metamodeling acceleration is added to the velocity update formula in the original PSO algorithm using the minimum of the metamodel. The proposed strategy is called the metamodel guided particle swarm optimization (MGPSO) algorithm. The superior performance of the approach is compared with original PSO using several benchmark problems with different numbers of variables. The developed algorithm is then used to optimize the aerodynamic design of a gas turbine compressor blade airfoil as a challenging HEB problem. The simulation results illustrated the MGPSO’s capability to achieve more accurate results with a considerably smaller number of function evaluations.

We developed a new method of intelligent optimum strategy for a local coupled extreme learning machine (LC-ELM). In this method, both the weights and biases between the input layer and the hidden layer, as well as the addresses and radiuses in the local coupled parameters, are determined and optimized based on the particle swarm optimization (PSO) algorithm. Compared with extreme learning machine (ELM), LC-ELM and extreme learning machine based on particle optimization (PSO-ELM) that have the same network size or compact network configuration, simulation results in terms of regression and classification benchmark problems show that the proposed algorithm, which is called LC-PSO-ELM, has improved generalization performance and robustness.

Driving fatigue accounts for a large number of traffic accidents in modern life nowadays. It is therefore of great importance to reduce this risky factor by detecting the driver’s drowsiness condition. This study aimed to detect drivers’ drowsiness using an advanced electroencephalography (EEG)-based classification technique. We first collected EEG data from six healthy adults under two different awareness conditions (wakefulness and drowsiness) in a virtual driving experiment. Five different machine learning techniques, including the K-nearest neighbor (KNN), support vector machine (SVM), extreme learning machine (ELM), hierarchical extreme learning machine (H-ELM), and the proposed modified hierarchical extreme learning machine algorithm with particle swarm optimization (PSO-H-ELM), were applied to classify the subject’s drowsiness based on the power spectral density (PSD) feature extracted from the EEG data. The mean accuracies of the five classifiers were 79.31%, 79.31%, 74.08%, 81.67%, and 83.12%, respectively, demonstrating the superior performance of our new PSO-H-ELM algorithm in detecting drivers’ drowsiness, compared to the other techniques.

Machine vision-based surface defect detection and classification have always been the hot research topics in Artificial Intelligence. However, existing work focuses mainly on the detection rather than the classification. In this article, we propose GSPSO-LRF-ELM that is the grid search (GS) and the particle swarm optimization- (PSO-) based local receptive field-enabled extreme learning machine (ELM-LRF) for the detection and classification of the surface defects on the magnetic tiles. In the ELM-LRF classifier, the balance parameter C and the number of feature maps K via the GS algorithm and the initial weight Ainit via the PSO algorithm are optimized to improve the performance of the classifier. The images used in the experiments are from the dataset collected by Institute of Automation, Chinese Academy of Sciences. The experiment results show that the proposed algorithm can achieve 96.36% accuracy of the classification, which has significantly outperformed several state-of-the-art approaches.

With the transition of the mobile communication networks, the network goal of the Internet of everything further promotes the development of the Internet of Things (IoT) and Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs). Since the directional sensor has the performance advantage of long-term regional monitoring, how to realize coverage optimization of Directional Sensor Networks (DSNs) becomes more important. The coverage optimization of DSNs is usually solved for one of the variables such as sensor azimuth, sensing radius, and time schedule. To reduce the computational complexity, we propose an optimization coverage scheme with a boundary constraint of eliminating redundancy for DSNs. Combined with Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) algorithm, a Virtual Angle Boundary-aware Particle Swarm Optimization (VAB-PSO) is designed to reduce the computational burden of optimization problems effectively. The VAB-PSO algorithm generates the boundary constraint position between the sensors according to the relationship among the angles of different sensors, thus obtaining the boundary of particle search and restricting the search space of the algorithm. Meanwhile, different particles search in complementary space to improve the overall efficiency. Experimental results show that the proposed algorithm with a boundary constraint can effectively improve the coverage and convergence speed of the algorithm.

Text Sentiment analysis is the process of predicting whether a segment of text has opinionated or objective content and analyzing the polarity of the text’s sentiment. Understanding the needs and behavior of the target customer plays a vital role in the success of the business so the sentiment analysis process would help the marketer to improve the quality of the product as well as a shopper to buy the correct product. Due to its automatic learning capability, deep learning is the current research interest in Natural language processing. Skip-gram architecture is used in the proposed model for better extraction of the semantic relationships as well as contextual information of words. However, the main contribution of this work is Adaptive Particle Swarm Optimization (APSO) algorithm based LSTM for sentiment analysis. LSTM is used in the proposed model for understanding complex patterns in textual data. To improve the performance of the LSTM, weight parameters are enhanced by presenting the Adaptive PSO algorithm. Opposition based learning (OBL) method combined with PSO algorithm becomes the Adaptive Particle Swarm Optimization (APSO) classifier which assists LSTM in selecting optimal weight for the environment in less number of iterations. So APSO - LSTM ‘s ability in adjusting the attributes such as optimal weights and learning rates combined with the good hyper parameter choices leads to improved accuracy and reduces losses. Extensive experiments were conducted on four datasets proved that our proposed APSO-LSTM model secured higher accuracy over the classical methods such as traditional LSTM, ANN, and SVM. According to simulation results, the proposed model is outperforming other existing models.

AbstractThis paper focuses on the problem of robot rescue task allocation, in which multiple robots and a global optimal algorithm are employed to plan the rescue task allocation. Accordingly, a modified particle swarm optimization (PSO) algorithm, referred to as task allocation PSO (TAPSO), is proposed. Candidate assignment solutions are represented as particles and evolved using an evolutionary process. The proposed TAPSO method is characterized by a flexible assignment decoding scheme to avoid the generation of unfeasible assignments. The maximum number of successful tasks (survivors) is considered as the fitness evaluation criterion under a scenario where the survivors’ survival time is uncertain. To improve the solution, a global best solution update strategy, which updates the global best solution depends on different phases so as to balance the exploration and exploitation, is proposed. TAPSO is tested on different scenarios and compared with other counterpart algorithms to verify its efficiency.

Synthetic aperture radar (SAR) systems are susceptible to radio frequency interference (RFI). The existence of RFI will cause serious degradation of SAR image quality and a huge risk of target misjudgment, which makes the research on RFI suppression methods receive widespread attention. Since the location of the RFI source is one of the most vital information for achieving RFI spatial filtering, this paper presents a novel location method of multiple independent RFI sources based on direction-of-arrival (DOA) estimation and the non-convex optimization algorithm. It deploys an L-shaped multi-channel array on the SAR system to receive echo signals, and utilizes the two-dimensional estimating signal parameter via rotational invariance techniques (2D-ESPRIT) algorithm to estimate the positional relationship between the RFI source and the SAR system, ultimately combines the DOA estimation results of multiple azimuth time to calculate the geographic location of RFI sources through the particle swarm optimization (PSO) algorithm. Results on simulation experiments prove the effectiveness of the proposed method.
