摘要Existing feature selection methods for intrusion detection systems in the Industrial Internet of Things often suffer from local optimality and high computational complexity.These challenges hinder traditional IDS from effectively extracting features while maintaining detection accuracy.This paper proposes an industrial Internet ofThings intrusion detection feature selection algorithm based on an improved whale optimization algorithm(GSLDWOA).The aim is to address the problems that feature selection algorithms under high-dimensional data are prone to,such as local optimality,long detection time,and reduced accuracy.First,the initial population’s diversity is increased using the Gaussian Mutation mechanism.Then,Non-linear Shrinking Factor balances global exploration and local development,avoiding premature convergence.Lastly,Variable-step Levy Flight operator and Dynamic Differential Evolution strategy are introduced to improve the algorithm’s search efficiency and convergence accuracy in highdimensional feature space.Experiments on the NSL-KDD and WUSTL-IIoT-2021 datasets demonstrate that the feature subset selected by GSLDWOA significantly improves detection performance.Compared to the traditional WOA algorithm,the detection rate and F1-score increased by 3.68%and 4.12%.On the WUSTL-IIoT-2021 dataset,accuracy,recall,and F1-score all exceed 99.9%.

摘要Discrete memristive neuron systems have attracted considerable attention due to their nonlinear dynamical properties,low computational overhead,and ease of hardware implementation.For the practical engineering applications of discrete memristive neuron systems,effective control remains a key issue.Parameter identification using intelligent optimization algorithms is an important approach for controlling complex nonlinear systems.However,classical algorithms are prone to falling into local optima and often exhibit high computational complexity,resulting in slow convergence.Therefore,a new algorithm named adaptive chaos game optimization(ACGO)is proposed to address these issues.By introducing a differential evolution mutation strategy and a Cauchy adaptive parameter mechanism,the ACGO algorithm can effectively balance global exploration and local exploitation capabilities.To verify the effectiveness of the proposed algorithm,it is applied to parameter identification in five discrete memristive neuron maps(DMNMs)and compared with seven intelligent optimization algorithms.Simulation results demonstrate that the ACGO algorithm achieves higher accuracy and faster convergence.In addition,an in-depth investigation is conducted into the effects of sample size and objective function on identification performance.The results indicate that setting the sample size to 4 and selecting the mean squared error(MSE)as the objective function can achieve better identification performance and a high level of robustness.

摘要Metaheuristic algorithms have emerged as indispensable tools for solving NP-hard optimization problems that defy traditional methods.To advance the field’s focus on algorithmic performance,this study introduces the Theory Evolution Optimization(TEO)–an efficient metaheuristic inspired by the evolution of scientific theory.TEO simulates the competitive,accumulative,and replacement processes among scientific hypotheses,mirroring the evolution from a hypothesis to an established scientific theory.The performance of TEO is validated through extensive experimental simulations and benchmarked against 28 popular algorithms,including highly competitive champions such as EBOwithCMAR,LSHADE_cnEpSi,and LSHADE.Pairwise comparisons between TEO and the latest algorithms are conducted using the Wilcoxon signed-rank test,with multiple comparisons managed by the Friedman test.Initially,TEO is tested on the classical IEEE CEC2017 and the latest IEEE CEC2022 benchmark functions.TEO successfully addresses four prominent engineering design problems in constrained continuous space for practical applications.Additionally,a binary TEO(BTEO)variant is introduced and applied to feature selection tasks in discrete space.Experimental results consistently demonstrate that TEO proposes highly competitive outcomes in optimization problems.The source codes for this research are accessible to the public at http://gffzze767f4cc5ce545d8s6q0ufvv9c5cn6vou.ffgz.tsg.suse.edu.cn/TEO.html.

摘要Cardiovascular disease prediction is a significant area of research in healthcare management systems(HMS).We will only be able to reduce the number of deaths if we anticipate cardiac problems in advance.The existing heart disease detection systems using machine learning have not yet produced sufficient results due to the reliance on available data.We present Clustered Butterfly Optimization Techniques(RoughK-means+BOA)as a new hybrid method for predicting heart disease.This method comprises two phases:clustering data using Roughk-means(RKM)and data analysis using the butterfly optimization algorithm(BOA).The benchmark dataset from the UCI repository is used for our experiments.The experiments are divided into three sets:the first set involves the RKM clustering technique,the next set evaluates the classification outcomes,and the last set validates the performance of the proposed hybrid model.The proposed RoughK-means+BOA has achieved a reasonable accuracy of 97.03 and a minimal error rate of 2.97.This result is comparatively better than other combinations of optimization techniques.In addition,this approach effectively enhances data segmentation,optimization,and classification performance.
摘要Aiming to solve the steering instability and hysteresis of agricultural robots in the process of movement,a fusion PID control method of particle swarm optimization(PSO)and genetic algorithm(GA)was proposed.The fusion algorithm took advantage of the fast optimization ability of PSO to optimize the population screening link of GA.The Simulink simulation results showed that the convergence of the fitness function of the fusion algorithm was accelerated,the system response adjustment time was reduced,and the overshoot was almost zero.Then the algorithm was applied to the steering test of agricultural robot in various scenes.After modeling the steering system of agricultural robot,the steering test results in the unloaded suspended state showed that the PID control based on fusion algorithm reduced the rise time,response adjustment time and overshoot of the system,and improved the response speed and stability of the system,compared with the artificial trial and error PID control and the PID control based on GA.The actual road steering test results showed that the PID control response rise time based on the fusion algorithm was the shortest,about 4.43 s.When the target pulse number was set to 100,the actual mean value in the steady-state regulation stage was about 102.9,which was the closest to the target value among the three control methods,and the overshoot was reduced at the same time.The steering test results under various scene states showed that the PID control based on the proposed fusion algorithm had good anti-interference ability,it can adapt to the changes of environment and load and improve the performance of the control system.It was effective in the steering control of agricultural robot.This method can provide a reference for the precise steering control of other robots.
摘要Optimization is the key to obtaining efficient utilization of resources in structural design.Due to the complex nature of truss systems,this study presents a method based on metaheuristic modelling that minimises structural weight under stress and frequency constraints.Two new algorithms,the Red Kite Optimization Algorithm(ROA)and Secretary Bird Optimization Algorithm(SBOA),are utilized on five benchmark trusses with 10,18,37,72,and 200-bar trusses.Both algorithms are evaluated against benchmarks in the literature.The results indicate that SBOA always reaches a lighter optimal.Designs with reducing structural weight ranging from 0.02%to 0.15%compared to ROA,and up to 6%–8%as compared to conventional algorithms.In addition,SBOA can achieve 15%–20%faster convergence speed and 10%–18%reduction in computational time with a smaller standard deviation over independent runs,which demonstrates its robustness and reliability.It is indicated that the adaptive exploration mechanism of SBOA,especially its Levy flight–based search strategy,can obviously improve optimization performance for low-and high-dimensional trusses.The research has implications in the context of promoting bio-inspired optimization techniques by demonstrating the viability of SBOA,a reliable model for large-scale structural design that provides significant enhancements in performance and convergence behavior.

摘要In response to the challenges of inadequate predictive accuracy and limited generalization capability in data-driven modeling for the mechanical properties of the cold-rolled strip steel,a predictive modeling method named RFR-WOA is developed based on random forest regression(RFR)and whale optimization algorithm(WOA).Firstly,using Pearson and Spearman correlation analysis and Gini coefficient importance ranking on an actual production dataset containing 37,878 samples,22 key variables are selected as model inputs from 112 variables that affect mechanical properties.Subsequently,an RFR-based predictive model for the mechanical properties of cold-rolled strip steel is constructed.Then,with the combination of the coefficient of determination(R2)and root mean square error as the optimization objective,the hyperparameters of RFR model are iteratively optimized using WOA,and better predictive effectiveness is obtained.Finally,the mechanical properties prediction model based on RFR-WOA is compared with models established using deep neural networks,convolutional neural networks,and other methods.The test results on 9469 samples of actual production data show that the model developed present has better predictive accuracy and generalization capability.
摘要The growing volume of digital text complicates the extraction of relevant information from unstructured data.Transformer models such as BERT,ALBERT,and RoBERTa are powerful,but they may face challenges in hyperparameter optimization and adaptation to new domains.To address this issue,a hybrid ensemble BERT model is suggested,optimized using the Walrus Optimization Algorithm(WaOA).The framework applies PCA to reduce dimensionality,ontology normalization,and K-means clustering to improve semantic comprehension.Experimental results on the SQuAD 2.0 and MS MARCO datasets show that the proposed model outperforms the baseline models.WaOA(Weighted Average of Attention)can improve convergence,reduce training time,and enhance prediction accuracy.The model also improves the semantic relevance of the extracted information.Attention maps visualize the model’s focus on relevant query terms.The method enhances efficiency and cuts redundancy.It also provides a more generalized approach to different query types.The framework promotes consistent and reliable performance across different data conditions,including varying input formats and varying noise levels.It can be generalized to multilingual and domain-specific applications.Overall,the framework provides a scalable and reliable solution to real-world information extraction.

摘要To address the issue of abnormal energy consumption fluctuations in the converter steelmaking process,an integrated diagnostic method combining the gray wolf optimization(GWO)algorithm,support vector machine(SVM),and K-means clustering was proposed.Eight input parameters—derived from molten iron conditions and external factors—were selected as feature variables.A GWO-SVM model was developed to accurately predict the energy consumption of individual heats.Based on the prediction results,the mean absolute percentage error and maximum relative error of the test set were employed as criteria to identify heats with abnormal energy usage.For these heats,the K-means clustering algorithm was used to determine benchmark values of influencing factors from similar steel grades,enabling root-cause diagnosis of excessive energy consumption.The proposed method was applied to real production data from a converter in a steel plant.The analysis reveals that heat sample No.44 exhibits abnormal energy consumption,due to gas recovery being 1430.28 kg of standard coal below the benchmark level.A secondary contributing factor is a steam recovery shortfall of 237.99 kg of standard coal.This integrated approach offers a scientifically grounded tool for energy management in converter operations and provides valuable guidance for optimizing process parameters and enhancing energy efficiency.

摘要Optimization problems are prevalent in various fields of science and engineering,with several real-world applications characterized by high dimensionality and complex search landscapes.Starfish optimization algorithm(SFOA)is a recently optimizer inspired by swarm intelligence,which is effective for numerical optimization,but it may encounter premature and local convergence for complex optimization problems.To address these challenges,this paper proposes the multi-strategy enhanced crested porcupine-starfish optimization algorithm(MCPSFOA).The core innovation of MCPSFOA lies in employing a hybrid strategy to improve SFOA,which integrates the exploratory mechanisms of SFOA with the diverse search capacity of the Crested Porcupine Optimizer(CPO).This synergy enhances MCPSFOA’s ability to navigate complex and multimodal search spaces.To further prevent premature convergence,MCPSFOA incorporates Lévy flight,leveraging its characteristic long and short jump patterns to enable large-scale exploration and escape from local optima.Subsequently,Gaussian mutation is applied for precise solution tuning,introducing controlled perturbations that enhance accuracy and mitigate the risk of insufficient exploitation.Notably,the population diversity enhancement mechanism periodically identifies and resets stagnant individuals,thereby consistently revitalizing population variety throughout the optimization process.MCPSFOA is rigorously evaluated on 24 classical benchmark functions(including high-dimensional cases),the CEC2017 suite,and the CEC2022 suite.MCPSFOA achieves superior overall performance with Friedman mean ranks of 2.208,2.310 and 2.417 on these benchmark functions,outperforming 11 state-of-the-art algorithms.Furthermore,the practical applicability of MCPSFOA is confirmed through its successful application to five engineering optimization cases,where it also yields excellent results.In conclusion,MCPSFOA is not only a highly effective and reliable optimizer for benchmark functions,but also a practical tool for solving real-world optimization problems.
摘要Recently,the Internet of Things(IoT)technology has been utilized in a wide range of services and applications which significantly transforms digital ecosystems through seamless interconnectivity between various smart devices.Furthermore,the IoT plays a key role in multiple domains,including industrial automation,smart homes,and intelligent transportation systems.However,an increasing number of connected devices presents significant challenges related to efficient resource allocation and system responsiveness.To address these issue,this research proposes a Modified Walrus Optimization Algorithm(MWaOA)for effective resource management in smart IoT systems.In the proposed MWaOA,a crowding process is incorporated to maintain diversity and avoid premature convergence thereby enhancing the global search capability.During resource allocation,the MWaOA prevents early convergence,which aids in achieving a better balance between the exploration and exploitation phases during optimization.Empirical evaluations show that the MWaOA reduces energy consumption by approximately 4% to 34%and minimizes the response time by 6% to 33% across different service arrival rates.Compared to traditional optimization algorithms,MWaOA reduces energy consumption by 5% to 30%and minimizes the response time by 4% to 28% across different simulation epochs.The proposed MWaOA provides adaptive and robust resource allocation,thereby minimizing transmission cost while considering network constraints and real-time performance parameters.
摘要Researchers continuously advance optimization algorithms,recognizing that no meta-heuristic can solve all problem types,as stated by the No Free Lunch theorem.This paper introduces the Propagation alongside Crossover(PAC)algorithm to address continuous optimization challenges.The primary goal of PAC is to structure the algorithmic phases in a manner that achieves a robust balance between exploration and exploitation through appropriately designed mechanisms at each stage.PAC simultaneously leverages the benefits of propagation,crossover,and mutation.Three independent operators are defined to generate new candidate solutions separately,and a novel selection strategy allows individuals produced by each operator,along with members of the current population,to independently enter the next generation.This design preserves population diversity,prevents all individuals from converging toward a single point,and enhances the algorithm’s ability to explore the solution space effectively.A key innovation of PAC is its three-mode propagation mechanism,which comprises local search,linear propagation toward the target point,and tear-drop shaped propagation toward the target point.Tear-drop propagation provides a precise and adaptive search around promising solutions,increasing diversity and preventing entrapment in local optima.The target point is typically set as the global optimum;however,when propagating the global optimum itself,a random point is used as the target to further enhance exploration and escape from local optima.The initial population is generated using chaotic mapping to ensure broad coverage of the search space.PAC was rigorously evaluated on 51 benchmark functions and three engineering problems,considering scalability,convergence,sensitivity,and computational efficiency.Comparative analyses with established optimization algorithms demonstrate PAC’s superior performance,as confirmed by Wilcoxon signed-rank and Friedman statistical tests.Furthermore,PAC was applied as a feature selection method on four diverse datasets,achieving substantial dimensionality reduction while outperforming comparative methods in classification accuracy.These results highlight PAC’s versatility,robustness,and practical effectiveness.

摘要In this study,a collaborative optimization framework combining artificial fish swarm algorithm(AFSA)and Voronoi cell finite element method(VCFEM)is proposed to solve the problem of the influence of microstructure distribution on the macroscopic mechanical properties of particle-reinforced composites.Compared with the traditional displacement-based finite element method,VCFEM significantly improves the computational efficiency of multi-inclusion problems by means of generalized stress function and element local adaptation technology,and accurately captures the stress field discontinuity and interface stress concentration phenomenon.At the same time,AFSA abandons the dependence of traditional optimization methods on simplified models,and directly searches for the global optimal solution through discrete topological variables(particle positions).Its natural selection mechanism and swarm intelligence characteristics effectively overcome the local optimal trap.The numerical simulation results show that the proposed method exhibits high accuracy in both single-and multi-inclusion models(the error with the commercial software MARC is less than 5%),and in the complex model with 100 inclusions,the maximum Mises stress is reduced by 32.6%after optimization.The synergistic effect of the two breaks through the trade-off between efficiency and accuracy in traditional optimization,and provides the ability of both computational efficiency and global optimization for multi-scale composite material design.
