In this study, the Modified Dolphin Monitoring (MDM) operator is used to enhance the performance of some metaheuristic algorithms. The MDM is a recently presented operator that controls the population dispersion in each iteration. Algorithms are selected from some well-established algorithms. Here, this operator is applied on Differential Evolution (DE), Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO), Genetic Algorithm (GA), Vibrating Particles System (VPS), Enhanced Vibrating Particles System (EVPS), Colliding Bodied Optimization (CBO) and Harmony Search (HS) and the performance of these algorithms are evaluated with and without this operator on three well-known structural optimization problems. The results show the performance of this operator on these algorithms for the best, the worst, average and average weight of the first quarter of answers.

Manual grid-search tuning of machine learning hyperparameters is very time-consuming. Hence, to curb this problem, we propose the use of a genetic algorithm (GA) for the selection of optimal radial-basis-function based support vector machine (RBF-SVM) hyperparameters; regularization parameter C and cost-factor γ. The resulting optimal parameters were used during the training of face recognition models. To train the models, we independently extracted features from the ORL face image dataset using local binary patterns (handcrafted) and deep learning architectures (pretrained variants of VGGNet). The resulting features were passed as input to either linear-SVM or optimized RBF-SVM. The results show that the models from optimized RBFSVM combined with deep learning or hand-crafted features yielded performances that surpass models obtained from Linear-SVM combined with the aforementioned features in most of the data splits. The study demonstrated that it is profitable to optimize the hyperparameters of an SVM to obtain the best classification performance. Keywords: Face Recognition, Feature Extraction, Local Binary Patterns, Transfer Learning, Genetic Algorithm and Support Vector  Machines.

We have compared the differential evolution and genetic algorithms in a study of weight optimization for different similarity measures in a task of classification. In a study of high dimensional data weighting similarity measures become of great importance and efforts to study suitable optimizers is needed. In this article we have studied proper weighting of similarity measures in the classification of high dimensional and large scale data. We will show that in most cases the differential evolution algorithm should be used in finding the weights instead of the genetic algorithm.
