Ant Colony Optimization and Swarm Intelligence

The series of biannual international conferences “ANTS – International C- ference on Ant Colony Optimization and Swarm Intelligence”, now in its sixth edition, was started ten years ago, with the organization of ANTS’98. As some readers might recall, the ?rst edition of ANTS was titled “ANTS’98 – From Ant Colonies to Arti?cial Ants: First International Workshop on Ant Colony Op- mization. ” In fact, at that time the focus was mainly on ant colony optimization (ACO), the ?rst swarm intelligence algorithm to go beyond a pure scienti?c interest and to enter the realm of real-world applications. Interestingly, in the ten years after the ?rst edition there has been a gr- ing inter...

Biological and other natural processes have always been a source of inspiration for computer science and information technology. Many emerging problem solving techniques integrate advanced evolution and cooperation strategies, encompassing a range of spatio-temporal scales for visionary conceptualization of evolutionary computation. This book is a collection of research works presented in the VI International Workshop on Nature Inspired Cooperative Strategies for Optimization (NICSO) held in Canterbury, UK. Previous editions of NICSO were held in Granada, Spain (2006 & 2010), Acireale, Italy (2007), Tenerife, Spain (2008), and Cluj-Napoca, Romania (2011). NICSO 2013 and this book provides a ...

Computational Intelligence

This present book includes a set of selected revised and extended versions of the best papers presented at the 11th International Joint Conference on Computational Intelligence (IJCCI 2019) – held in Vienna, Austria, from 17 to 19 September 2019. The authors focus on three outstanding fields of Computational Intelligence through the selected panel, namely Evolutionary Computation, Fuzzy Computation and Neural Computation. Besides presenting the recent advances of the selected areas, the book aims to aggregate new and innovative solutions for confirmed researchers and, on the other hand, to provide a source of information and/or inspiration for young interested researchers or learners in the ever-expanding and current filed of Computational Intelligence. It constitutes a precious provision of knowledge for individual researchers as well as represents a valuable sustenance for collective use in academic libraries (of universities and engineering schools) relating innovative techniques in various fields of applications.

Metaheuristics for Machine Learning

Metaheuristics for Machine Learning

Using metaheuristics to enhance machine learning techniques has become trendy and has achieved major successes in both supervised (classification and regression) and unsupervised (clustering and rule mining) problems. Furthermore, automatically generating programs via metaheuristics, as a form of evolutionary computation and swarm intelligence, has now gained widespread popularity. This book investigates different ways of integrating metaheuristics into machine learning techniques, from both theoretical and practical standpoints. It explores how metaheuristics can be adapted in order to enhance machine learning tools and presents an overview of the main metaheuristic programming methods. Moreover, real-world applications are provided for illustration, e.g., in clustering, big data, machine health monitoring, underwater sonar targets, and banking.
