A Clustering Method Based on Brain Storm Optimization Algorithm

In the field of data mining and machine learning,clustering is a typical issue which has been widely studied by many researchers,and lots of effective algorithms have been proposed,including K-means,fuzzy c-means(FCM)and DBSCAN.However,the traditional clustering methods are easily trapped into local optimum.Thus,many evolutionary-based clustering methods have been investigated.Considering the effectiveness of brain storm optimization(BSO)in increasing the diversity while the diversity optimization is performed,in this paper,we propose a new clustering model based on BSO to use the global ability of BSO.In our experiment,we apply the novel binary model to solve the problem.During the period of processing data,BSO was mainly utilized for iteration.Also,in the process of K-means,we set the more appropriate parameters selected to match it greatly.Four datasets were used in our experiment.In our model,BSO was first introduced in solving the clustering problem.With the algorithm running on each dataset repeatedly,our experimental results have obtained good convergence and diversity.In addition,by comparing the results with other clustering models,the BSO clustering model also guarantees high accuracy.Therefore,from many aspects,the simulation results show that the model of this paper has good performance.

New Solution Generation Strategy to Improve Brain Storm Optimization Algorithm for Classification

As a new intelligent optimization method,brain storm optimization(BSO)algorithm has been widely concerned for its advantages in solving classical optimization problems.Recently,an evolutionary classification optimization model based on BSO algorithm has been proposed,which proves its effectiveness in solving the classification problem.However,BSO algorithm also has defects.For example,large-scale datasets make the structure of the model complex,which affects its classification performance.In addition,in the process of optimization,the information of the dominant solution cannot be well preserved in BSO,which leads to its limitations in classification performance.Moreover,its generation strategy is inefficient in solving a variety of complex practical problems.Therefore,we briefly introduce the optimization model structure by feature selection.Besides,this paper retains the brainstorming process of BSO algorithm,and embeds the new generation strategy into BSO algorithm.Through the three generation methods of global optimal,local optimal and nearest neighbor,we can better retain the information of the dominant solution and improve the search efficiency.To verify the performance of the proposed generation strategy in solving the classification problem,twelve datasets are used in experiment.Experimental results show that the new generation strategy can improve the performance of BSO algorithm in solving classification problems.

Comparative seismic design optimization of spatial steel dome structures through three recent metaheuristic algorithms

Steel dome structures,with their striking structural forms,take a place among the impressive and aesthetic load bearing systems featuring large internal spaces without internal columns.In this paper,the seismic design optimization of spatial steel dome structures is achieved through three recent metaheuristic algorithms that are water strider(WS),grey wolf(GW),and brain storm optimization(BSO).The structural elements of the domes are treated as design variables collected in member groups.The structural stress and stability limitations are enforced by ASD-AISC provisions.Also,the displacement restrictions are considered in design procedure.The metaheuristic algorithms are encoded in MATLAB interacting with SAP2000 for gathering structural reactions through open application programming interface(OAPI).The optimum spatial steel dome designs achieved by proposed WS,GW,and BSO algorithms are compared with respect to solution accuracy,convergence rates,and reliability,utilizing three real-size design examples for considering both the previously reported optimum design results obtained by classical metaheuristic algorithms and a gradient descent-based hyperband optimization(HBO)algorithm.
