Niching techniques play an important role in evolutionary algorithms. Existing niching methods often require userspecified parameters, limiting their usefulness. This paper propos...
This paper describes an extension to a speciation-based particle swarm optimizer (SPSO) to improve performance in dynamic environments. The improved SPSO has adopted several prove...
Abstract. This paper proposes a new learning method for process neural networks (PNNs) based on the Gaussian mixture functions and particle swarm optimization (PSO), called PSO-LM....
Background: Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) is an established method for parameter optimization. It represents a population-based adaptive optimization technique that is influen...
