The prominent shortcoming of the basic artificial raindrop algorithm in UAV route planning is easily trapped into local optimal solution. In the present work, the original artificial raindrop algorithm is improved. A Balwin-teaching-learning-based artificial raindrop algorithm (BTLARA) is proposed, whereby each raindrop updates itself by using the combination of its own unique mode and Balwin-teaching-learning-based optimization pattern operator. In order to demonstrate the effectiveness of this algorithm, the UAV route planning is utilized for simulation. According to the results, the algorithm proposed in this paper significantly enhances the convergence and can obtain higher-quality navigation trace and convergence, which enables it to better avoid threat paths.

With the wide application of UAV in the scientific research,its route planning is becoming more and more important. In order to design the best route planning when UAV operates in the field, this paper mainly puts to use the simple genetic algorithm to design 3D-route planning. It primarily introduces the advantages of genetic algorithm compared to others on the designing of route planning. The improvement of simple genetic algorithm is because of the safety of UAV when it flights higher, and the 3D-route planning should include all the corresponding areas. The simulation results show that: the improvement of simple genetic algorithm gets rid of the dependence of parameters, at the same time it is a global search algorithm to avoid falling into the local optimal solution. Whats more, it can meet the requirements of the 3D-route planning design, to the purpose of regional scope and high safety.

In the arena of Cloud Computing, the emergence of social networks and IoT increased the number of available services on the cloud platform, making service composition and optimal selection (SCOS) in Cloud Manufacturing (CMfg), NP-hard. The existing approaches for addressing SCOS often fail to offer assistance with maximized trust and satisfied QoS preferences. Hence, this research paper presents a novel Teach Inglea Rning-based Optimization a Lgorithm (TIROL) for achieving the optimal solution for truST enforced clOud seRvice coMposition (STORM) to assist CMfg for improving the trust value with satisfied QoS preference(s). The performance of the proposed framework has been validated using the synthetic dataset generated from different test-cases. Experimental results show that the proposed framework is reliable and outperforms the SOTA approaches in terms of trust value maximization.

This paper presents an improved nature-based algorithm, namely multivariable modified teaching learning based optimization (MM-TLBO) algorithm, as in an iterative process can estimates the best values for the model parameters in a multi-objective problem. The algorithm works in two computational phases: the teacher phase and the learner phase. The major purpose of the MM-TLBO algorithm is to improve the value of the learners and thus, improving the value of the model parameters which leads to the optimal solution. The variables of each learner (model) are the radius ( R), depth ( h), shape factor ( q), density contrast ( ρ) and axis location ( x0) parameters. We apply MM-TLBO and TLBO methods for the residual gravity anomalies caused by the buried masses with a simple geometry such as spheres, horizontal and vertical cylinders. The efficiency of these methods are also tested by noise corruption synthetic data, as the acceptable results were obtained. The obtained results indicate the better performance the MM-TLBO algorithm than the TLBO algorithm. We have utilized the MM-TLBO for the interpretation of the six residual gravity anomaly profiles from Iran, USA, Sweden and Senegal. The advantage of the MM-TLBO inversion is that it can estimates the best solutions very fast without falling into local minimum and reaches to a premature convergence. The considered primary population for the synthetic and real gravity data are thirty and fifty models. The results show which this method is able to achieve the optimal responses even if a small population of learners had been considered.

Electrochemical honing (ECH) is a nontraditional machining process hybridizing the conjoint benefits of electrochemical machining (ECM) and mechanical honing actions. In this process, maximum amount of material is removed through anodic dissolution, followed by mechanical abrasion. In present day manufacturing industries, it has found wide ranging applications, mainly in finishing of varieties of gears, due to its various advantages, like increased material removal rate, long tool life, burr-free operation, achievement of higher surface finish and dimensional accuracy, generation of no residual stress, reduced noise, less material damage, etc. In order to achieve maximum machining capability from this process, it is always recommended to set its various input parameters at their optimal operating levels. In this paper, four powerful metaheuristic algorithms, i.e. firefly algorithm, differential evolution (DE) algorithm, cuckoo search (CS) algorithm and teaching–learning-based optimization (TLBO) algorithm are applied for single as well as multi-objective optimization of pulsed-ECH (PECH) and ECH processes. It is observed that TLBO algorithm supersedes other techniques in optimizing the two ECH processes with respect to the value of the derived optimal solution, consistency of the solutions and computational speed.

This paper presents a nature-based algorithm, titled multivariable teaching-learning-based optimization (MTLBO) algorithm. MTLBO algorithm during an iterative process can estimates the best values of the buried structure (model) parameters in a multi-objective problem. The algorithm works in two computational phases: the teacher phase and the learner phase. The major purpose of the MTLBO algorithm is to modify the value of the learners and thus, improving the value of the model parameters which leads to the optimal solution. The variables of each learner (model) are the depth (z), amplitude coefficient (k), shape factor (q), angle of effective magnetization (θ) and axis location (x0) parameters. We employ MTLBO method for the magnetic anomalies caused by the buried structures with a simple geometric shape such as sphere and horizontal cylinder. The efficiency of the MTLBO is also studied by noise corruption synthetic data, as the acceptable results were obtained. We have applied the MTLBO for the interpretation of the four magnetic anomaly profiles from Iran, Brazil and India.

<P>Introduction: It is well-known that the biogeography-based optimization (BBO) algorithm lacks searching power in some circumstances. </P><P> Material & Methods: In order to address this issue, an adaptive opposition-based biogeography-based optimization algorithm (AO-BBO) is proposed. Based on the BBO algorithm and opposite learning strategy, this algorithm chooses different opposite learning probabilities for each individual according to the habitat suitability index (HSI), so as to avoid elite individuals from returning to local optimal solution. Meanwhile, the proposed method is tested in 9 benchmark functions respectively. </P><P> Result: The results show that the improved AO-BBO algorithm can improve the population diversity better and enhance the search ability of the global optimal solution. The global exploration capability, convergence rate and convergence accuracy have been significantly improved. Eventually, the algorithm is applied to the parameter optimization of soft-sensing model in plant medicine extraction rate. Conclusion: The simulation results show that the model obtained by this method has higher prediction accuracy and generalization ability.</P>

Background and Objective: Stock closing price prediction is enormously complicated. Artificial Neural Networks (ANN) are excellent approximation algorithms applied to this area. Several nature-inspired evolutionary optimization techniques are proposed and used in the literature to search the optimum parameters of ANN based forecasting models. However, most of them need fine-tuning of several control parameters as well as algorithm specific parameters to achieve optimal performance. Improper tuning of such parameters either leads toward additional computational cost or local optima. Methods: Teaching Learning Based Optimization (TLBO) is a newly proposed algorithm which does not necessitate any parameters specific to it. The intrinsic capability of Functional Link Artificial Neural Network (FLANN) to recognize the multifaceted nonlinear relationship present in the historical stock data made it popular and got wide applications in the stock market prediction. This article presents a hybrid model termed as Teaching Learning Based Optimization of Functional Neural Networks (TLBO-FLN) by combining the advantages of both TLBO and FLANN. Results and Conclusion: The model is evaluated by predicting the short, medium, and long-term closing prices of four emerging stock markets. The performance of the TLBO-FLN model is measured through Mean Absolute Percentage of Error (MAPE), Average Relative Variance (ARV), and coefficient of determination (R2); compared with that of few other state-of-the-art models similarly trained and found superior.
