A Cooperative Approach to Particle Swarm Optimization

vandenBergh, F., Engelbrecht, A.P.·2004·IEEE Transactions on Evolutionary Computation

Abstract

The particle swarm optimizer (PSO) is a stochastic, population-based optimization technique that can be applied to a wide range of problems, including neural network training. This paper presents a variation on the traditional PSO algorithm, called the cooperative particle swarm optimizer, or CPSO, employing cooperative behavior to significantly improve the performance of the original algorithm. This is achieved by using multiple swarms to optimize different components of the solution vector cooperatively. Application of the new PSO algorithm on several benchmark optimization problems shows a marked improvement in performance over the traditional PSO.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
