By R. M. Seaa Shyin Vibi While the rapid development of vaccines against COVID‑19 is an extraordinary achievement, successfully vaccinating the global population presents many challenges, from production to distribution, deployment, and importantly, acceptance. Trust in the vaccines is vital, and is critically dependant on the ability of governments to communicate the benefits of vaccination, […]

Dual Kidney-Inspired Algorithm (Dual-KA) for Water Quality Prediction and Cancer Detection
1. Introduction The Kidney-inspired Algorithm (KA) imitates the physiological process of the kidneys in the human body. The second kidney in the human body filters all the solutes if the other kidney fails. If the second kidney also gets damaged, dialysis can be performed as a treatment. The failure of a kidney is proved by […]

1. Introduction Mayflies are insects that belong to the order Ephemeroptera, which is part of an ancient group of insects called Palaeoptera. It is estimated that there are over 3000 species of mayflies worldwide. Their name derives from the fact that they appear mainly during May in the UK [1]. The Mayfly optimation algorithm (MA) […]
Continue ReadingA Novel Swarm-Intelligence based Optimization Algorithm: Rat Swarm Optimizer (RSO) for Solving the Challenging Optimization Problems
1. Introduction Nature-inspired algorithms are becoming extremely popular for solving various optimization problems [1]. This is due to the fact that these algorithms search for the fittest solution based upon ‘trial and error’ criterion. Also, they are easy to implement due to their simple conceptual model and the least requirement of gradient information [2]. Broadly, […]

In this video, we will be discussing about Cuckoo search is an optimization algorithm developed by Xin-she Yang and Suash Deb in 2009. It was inspired by the obligate brood parasitism of some cuckoo species by laying their eggs in the nests of other host birds (of other species). Some host birds can engage direct […]

1. Introduction Politics in different contexts holds different meanings. In political optimizer algorithm PO, we use the political system of a country as a reference point and mimic the behavior of politicians to achieve the end goal of optimization [1]. Politics is about the governance of a region, state or country. The party-based political systems […]

1. Introduction Bio-inspired computing refers to a class of optimization algorithms which apply the intelligence of the nature and one of their main applications is the solving of the complex engineering optimization problems [1]. A novel algorithm inspired from the hierarchical organization of the horse herds obtained a Horse Optimization Algorithm (HOA). The modified version […]

1. Introduction Game is a competitive activity involving skill, chance, or endurance on the part of two or more persons who play according to a set of rules, usually for their own amusement or for that of spectators Most of the design problems in the nature can be considered as optimization problems which request some […]
Continue ReadingInspired by Plants Survival An New Optimization is presented: Fertile Field Algorithm for Continuous Nonlinear Optimization Problems
1. Introduction Nature, as a rich source of solutions, can be an inspirational guide to answer scientific expectations [1]. Seed dispersal mechanism as one of the most common reproduction [2] method among the plants is a unique technique with millions of years of evolutionary history [3]. Inspired by plants survival, a novel method of optimization […]
Continue ReadingRain optimization algorithm (ROA): Inspired by the Raindrop’s behaviour used for the Application of Forecasting Rainfall using Machine Learning Strategies
1. Introduction A new optimization algorithm called Rain optimization Algorithm (ROA) [1] is validated by applying on computationally expensive benchmark problems [2]. ROA mimics the natural behavior of raindrops trickling down a hill (high position) towards a valley (low position) [3]. 2. Inspiration of ROA The main inspiration of ROA is from raindrop behavior [4]. Raindrops naturally trickle down along […]
