Pham VHS, Nguyen VN, Nguyen Dang NT. Hybrid whale optimization algorithm for enhanced routing of limited capacity vehicles in supply chain management. Sci Rep 2024; 14:793. [PMID: 38191905 PMCID: PMC10774344 DOI: 10.1038/s41598-024-51359-2] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/12/2023] [Accepted: 01/03/2024] [Indexed: 01/10/2024] Open
Abstract
The present study focuses on the problem of vehicle routing with limited capacity, with the objective of minimizing the transportation distance required to serve h clients with predetermined locations and needs. The aim is to create k trips that cover the shortest possible distance. To achieve this goal, a hybrid whale optimization algorithm (hGWOA) is proposed, which combines the whale optimization algorithm (WOA) with the grey wolf optimizer (GWO). The proposed hybrid model is comprised of two main steps. First step, the GWO's hunting mechanism is integrated transitioning to the utilization phase of WOA, and a newly devised state is introduced that is linked to GWO. In the second step, a novel technique is incorporated into the exploration mission phase to enhance the resolve after per iteration. The algorithm's performance is assessed and compared with other modern algorithms, including the GWO, WOA, ant lion optimizer (ALO), and dragonfly algorithm (DA) using 23 benchmark test functions and CEC2017 benchmark test function. The results indicate that the hybrid hGWOA method outperforms other algorithms in terms of delivery distance optimization for scenarios involving scale and complexity. These findings are corroborated through case studies related to cement delivery and a real-world scenario in Viet Nam.

Abstract
In the realm of modern medicine and biology, vast amounts of genetic data with high complexity are available. However, dealing with such high-dimensional data poses challenges due to increased processing complexity and size. Identifying critical genes to reduce data dimensionality is essential. The filter-wrapper hybrid method is a commonly used approach in feature selection. Most of these methods employ filters such as MRMR and ReliefF, but the performance of these simple filters is limited. Rough set methods, on the other hand, are a type of filter method that outperforms traditional filters. Simultaneously, many studies have pointed out the crucial importance of good initialization strategies for the performance of the metaheuristic algorithm (a type of wrapper-based method). Combining these two points, this paper proposes a novel filter-wrapper hybrid method for high-dimensional feature selection. To be specific, we utilize the variant of bWOA (binary Whale Optimization Algorithm) based on Hybrid Fuzzy Rough Set to perform attribute reduction, and the reduced attributes are used as prior knowledge to initialize the population. We then employ metaheuristics for further feature selection based on this initialized population. We conducted experiments using five different algorithms on 14 UCI datasets. The experiment results show that after applying the initialization method proposed in this article, the performance of five enhanced algorithms, has shown significant improvement. Particularly, the improved bMFO using our initialization method: fuzzy_bMFO outperformed six currently advanced algorithms, indicating that our initialization method for metaheuristic algorithms is suitable for high-dimensional feature selection tasks.

Abstract
The COVID-19 is one of the most significant obstacles that humanity is now facing. The use of computed tomography (CT) images is one method that can be utilized to recognize COVID-19 in early stage. In this study, an upgraded variant of Moth flame optimization algorithm (Es-MFO) is presented by considering a nonlinear self-adaptive parameter and a mathematical principle based on the Fibonacci approach method to achieve a higher level of accuracy in the classification of COVID-19 CT images. The proposed Es-MFO algorithm is evaluated using nineteen different basic benchmark functions, thirty and fifty dimensional IEEE CEC'2017 test functions, and compared the proficiency with a variety of other fundamental optimization techniques as well as MFO variants. Moreover, the suggested Es-MFO algorithm's robustness and durability has been evaluated with tests including the Friedman rank test and the Wilcoxon rank test, as well as a convergence analysis and a diversity analysis. Furthermore, the proposed Es-MFO algorithm resolves three CEC2020 engineering design problems to examine the problem-solving ability of the proposed method. The proposed Es-MFO algorithm is then used to solve the COVID-19 CT image segmentation problem using multi-level thresholding with the help of Otsu's method. Comparison results of the suggested Es-MFO with basic and MFO variants proved the superiority of the newly developed algorithm.

Abstract
Particle swarm optimization (PSO) has been successfully applied to various complex optimization problems due to its simplicity and efficiency. However, the update strategy of the standard PSO algorithm is to learn from the global best particle, making it difficult to maintain diversity in the population and prone to premature convergence due to being trapped in local optima. Chaos search mechanism is an optimization technique based on chaotic dynamics, which utilizes the randomness and nonlinearity of a chaotic system for global search and can escape from local optima. To overcome the limitations of PSO, an improved particle swarm optimization combined with double-chaos search (DCS-PSO) is proposed in this paper. In DCS-PSO, we first introduce double-chaos search mechanism to narrow the search space, which enables PSO to focus on the neighborhood of the optimal solution and reduces the probability that the swarm gets trapped into a local optimum. Second, to enhance the population diversity, the logistic map is employed to perform a global search in the narrowed search space and the best solution found by both the logistic and population search guides the population to converge. Experimental results show that DCS-PSO can effectively narrow the search space and has better convergence accuracy and speed in most cases.

Abstract
Harris' Hawk Optimization (HHO) is a novel metaheuristic inspired by the collective hunting behaviors of hawks. This technique employs the flight patterns of hawks to produce (near)-optimal solutions, enhanced with feature selection, for challenging classification problems. In this study, we propose a new parallel multi-objective HHO algorithm for predicting the mortality risk of COVID-19 patients based on their symptoms. There are two objectives in this optimization problem: to reduce the number of features while increasing the accuracy of the predictions. We conduct comprehensive experiments on a recent real-world COVID-19 dataset from Kaggle. An augmented version of the COVID-19 dataset is also generated and experimentally shown to improve the quality of the solutions. Significant improvements are observed compared to existing state-of-the-art metaheuristic wrapper algorithms. We report better classification results with feature selection than when using the entire set of features. During experiments, a 98.15% prediction accuracy with a 45% reduction is achieved in the number of features. We successfully obtained new best solutions for this COVID-19 dataset.

Abstract
Environmental wireless sensor networks (EWSNs) are essential in environmental monitoring and are widely used in gas monitoring, soil monitoring, natural disaster early warning and other fields. EWSNs are limited by the sensor battery capacity and data collection range, and the usual deployment method is to deploy many sensor nodes in the monitoring zone. This deployment method improves the robustness of EWSNs, but introduces many redundant nodes, resulting in a problem of duty cycle design, which can be effectively solved by duty cycle optimization. However, the duty cycle optimization in EWSNs is an NP-Hard problem, and the complexity of the problem increases exponentially with the number of sensor nodes. In this way, non-heuristic algorithms often fail to obtain a deployment solution that meets the requirements in reasonable time. Therefore, this paper proposes a novel heuristic algorithm, the Quantum Evolutionary Golden Jackal Optimization Algorithm (QEGJOA), to solve the duty cycle optimization problem. Specifically, QEGJOA can effectively prolong the lifetime of EWSNs by duty cycle optimization and can quickly get a deployment solution in the face of multi-sensor nodes. New quantum exploration and exploitation operators are designed, which greatly improves the global search ability of the algorithm and enables the algorithm to effectively solve the problem of excessive complexity in duty cycle optimization. In addition, this paper designs a new sensor duty cycle model, which has the advantages of high accuracy and low complexity. The simulation shows that the QEGJOA proposed in this paper improves by 18.69, 20.15 and 26.55 compared to the Golden Jackal Optimization (GJO), Whale Optimization Algorithm (WOA) and the Simulated Annealing Algorithm (SA).

Abstract
Lupus Nephritis (LN) is a significant risk factor for morbidity and mortality in systemic lupus erythematosus, and nephropathology is still the gold standard for diagnosing LN. To assist pathologists in evaluating histopathological images of LN, a 2D Rényi entropy multi-threshold image segmentation method is proposed in this research to apply to LN images. This method is based on an improved Cuckoo Search (CS) algorithm that introduces a Diffusion Mechanism (DM) and an Adaptive β-Hill Climbing (AβHC) strategy called the DMCS algorithm. The DMCS algorithm is tested on 30 benchmark functions of the IEEE CEC2017 dataset. In addition, the DMCS-based multi-threshold image segmentation method is also used to segment renal pathological images. Experimental results show that adding these two strategies improves the DMCS algorithm's ability to find the optimal solution. According to the three image quality evaluation metrics: PSNR, FSIM, and SSIM, the proposed image segmentation method performs well in image segmentation experiments. Our research shows that the DMCS algorithm is a helpful image segmentation method for renal pathological images.

Abstract
Recently, image thresholding methods based on various entropy functions have been found popularity. Nonetheless, entropic-based methods depend on the spatial distribution of the grey level values in an image. Hence, the accuracy of these methods is limited due to the non-uniform distribution of the grey values. Further, the analysis of the COVID-19 X-ray images is evolved as an important area of research. Therefore, it is needed to develop an efficient method for the segmentation of the COVID-19 X-ray images. To address these issues, an efficient non-entropy-based thresholding method is suggested. A novel fitness function in terms of the segmentation score (SS) is introduced, which is used to reduce the segmentation error. A soft computing approach is suggested. An efficient optimizer using the chance-based birds' intelligence is introduced to maximize the fitness values. The new optimizer is validated utilizing the benchmark test functions. The statistical parameters reveal that the suggested optimizer is efficient. It shows a quite significant improvement over its counterparts-optimization based on seagull/cuckoo birds. Precisely, the paper includes three novel contributions-(i) fitness function, (ii) chance-based birds' intelligence for optimization, (iii) multiclass segmentation. The COVID-19 X-ray images are taken from the Kaggle Radiography database, to the experiment. Its results are compared with three different state-of-the-art entropy-based techniques-Tsallis, Kapur's, and Masi. For providing a statistical analysis, Friedman's mean rank test is conducted and our method Ranked one. Its superiority is claimed in terms of Peak Signal to Noise Ratio (PSNR), Feature Similarity Index (FSIM) and Structure Similarity Index (SSIM). On the whole, an improvement of about 11% in PSNR values is achieved using the proposed method. This method would be helpful for medical image analysis.

Abstract
The reptile search algorithm (RSA) is a bionic algorithm proposed by Abualigah. et al. in 2020. RSA simulates the whole process of crocodiles encircling and catching prey. Specifically, the encircling stage includes high walking and belly walking, and the hunting stage includes hunting coordination and cooperation. However, in the middle and later stages of the iteration, most search agents will move towards the optimal solution. However, if the optimal solution falls into local optimum, the population will fall into stagnation. Therefore, RSA cannot converge when solving complex problems. To enable RSA to solve more problems, this paper proposes a multi-hunting coordination strategy by combining Lagrange interpolation and teaching-learning-based optimization (TLBO) algorithm's student stage. Multi-hunting cooperation strategy will make multiple search agents coordinate with each other. Compared with the hunting cooperation strategy in the original RSA, the multi-hunting cooperation strategy has been greatly improved RSA's global capability. Moreover, considering RSA's weak ability to jump out of the local optimum in the middle and later stages, this paper adds the Lens pposition-based learning (LOBL) and restart strategy. Based on the above strategy, a modified reptile search algorithm with a multi-hunting coordination strategy (MRSA) is proposed. To verify the above strategies' effectiveness for RSA, 23 benchmark and CEC2020 functions were used to test MRSA's performance. In addition, MRSA's solutions to six engineering problems reflected MRSA's engineering applicability. It can be seen from the experiment that MRSA has better performance in solving test functions and engineering problems.

Abstract
The main disease that decreases the manufacturing of natural rubber is tapping panel dryness (TPD). To solve this problem faced by a large number of rubber trees, it is recommended to observe TPD images and make early diagnosis. Multi-level thresholding image segmentation can extract regions of interest from TPD images for improving the diagnosis process and increasing the efficiency. In this study, we investigate TPD image properties and enhance Otsu's approach. For a multi-level thresholding problem, we combine the snake optimizer with the improved Otsu's method and propose SO-Otsu. SO-Otsu is compared with five other methods: fruit fly optimization algorithm, sparrow search algorithm, grey wolf optimizer, whale optimization algorithm, Harris hawks optimization and the original Otsu's method. The performance of the SO-Otsu is measured using detail review and indicator reviews. According to experimental findings, SO-Otsu performs better than the competition in terms of running duration, detail effect and degree of fidelity. SO-Otsu is an efficient image segmentation method for TPD images.

Abstract
In recent decades, nature-inspired optimization methods have played a critical role in helping industrial plant designers to find superior solutions for process parameters. According to the literature, such methods are simple, quick, and indispensable for saving time, money, and energy. In this regard, the Modified Whale Optimization Algorithm (MWOA) hybridized with Artificial Neural Networks (ANN) has been employed in the Reverse Osmosis (RO) desalination plant performance to estimate the permeate flux (0.118‒2.656 L/h m2). The plant's datasets have been collected from the literature and include four input parameters: feed flow rate (400‒600 L/h), evaporator inlet temperature (60‒80 °C), feed salt concentration (35‒140 g/L) and condenser inlet temperature (20‒30 °C). For this purpose, ten predictive models (MWOA-ANN Model-1 to Model-10) have been proposed, which are capable of predicting more accurate permeate flux (L/h m2) than the existing models (Response Surface Methodology (RSM), ANN and hybrid WOA-ANN models) with minimum errors. Simulation results suggest that the MWOA algorithm demonstrates a stronger optimization capability of finding the correct weights and biases so as to enable superior ANN based modeling without limitation of overfitting. Ten MWOA-ANN models (Model-1 to Model-10) have been proposed to investigate the plant's performance. Model-6 with a single hidden layer (H = 1), eleven hidden layer nodes (n = 11) and the thirteen search agents (SA = 13) produced most outstanding regression results (R2 = 99.1%) with minimal errors (MSE = 0.005). The residual errors for Model-6 are also found to be within limits (span of - 0.1 to 0.2). Finally, the findings show that the screened MWOA-ANN models are promising for identifying the best process parameters in order to assist industrial plant designers.

Abstract
This study proposes a novel nature-inspired meta-heuristic optimizer based on the Reptile Search Algorithm combed with Salp Swarm Algorithm for image segmentation using gray-scale multi-level thresholding, called RSA-SSA. The proposed method introduces a better search space to find the optimal solution at each iteration. However, we proposed RSA-SSA to avoid the searching problem in the same area and determine the optimal multi-level thresholds. The obtained solutions by the proposed method are represented using the image histogram. The proposed RSA-SSA employed Otsu's variance class function to get the best threshold values at each level. The performance measure for the proposed method is valid by detecting fitness function, structural similarity index, peak signal-to-noise ratio, and Friedman ranking test. Several benchmark images of COVID-19 validate the performance of the proposed RSA-SSA. The results showed that the proposed RSA-SSA outperformed other metaheuristics optimization algorithms published in the literature.

Abstract
Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) is the most severe epidemic that is prevalent all over the world. How quickly and accurately identifying COVID-19 is of great significance to controlling the spread speed of the epidemic. Moreover, it is essential to accurately and rapidly identify COVID-19 lesions by analyzing Chest X-ray images. As we all know, image segmentation is a critical stage in image processing and analysis. To achieve better image segmentation results, this paper proposes to improve the multi-verse optimizer algorithm using the Rosenbrock method and diffusion mechanism named RDMVO. Then utilizes RDMVO to calculate the maximum Kapur's entropy for multilevel threshold image segmentation. This image segmentation scheme is called RDMVO-MIS. We ran two sets of experiments to test the performance of RDMVO and RDMVO-MIS. First, RDMVO was compared with other excellent peers on IEEE CEC2017 to test the performance of RDMVO on benchmark functions. Second, the image segmentation experiment was carried out using RDMVO-MIS, and some meta-heuristic algorithms were selected as comparisons. The test image dataset includes Berkeley images and COVID-19 Chest X-ray images. The experimental results verify that RDMVO is highly competitive in benchmark functions and image segmentation experiments compared with other meta-heuristic algorithms.

Abstract
Monkey king evolution (MKE) is a population-based differential evolutionary algorithm in which the single evolution strategy and the control parameter affect the convergence and the balance between exploration and exploitation. Since evolution strategies have a considerable impact on the performance of algorithms, collaborating multiple strategies can significantly enhance the abilities of algorithms. This is our motivation to propose a multi-trial vector-based monkey king evolution algorithm named MMKE. It introduces novel best-history trial vector producer (BTVP) and random trial vector producer (RTVP) that can effectively collaborate with canonical MKE (MKE-TVP) using a multi-trial vector approach to tackle various real-world optimization problems with diverse challenges. It is expected that the proposed MMKE can improve the global search capability, strike a balance between exploration and exploitation, and prevent the original MKE algorithm from converging prematurely during the optimization process. The performance of the MMKE was assessed using CEC 2018 test functions, and the results were compared with eight metaheuristic algorithms. As a result of the experiments, it is demonstrated that the MMKE algorithm is capable of producing competitive and superior results in terms of accuracy and convergence rate in comparison to comparative algorithms. Additionally, the Friedman test was used to examine the gained experimental results statistically, proving that MMKE is significantly superior to comparative algorithms. Furthermore, four real-world engineering design problems and the optimal power flow (OPF) problem for the IEEE 30-bus system are optimized to demonstrate MMKE's real applicability. The results showed that MMKE can effectively handle the difficulties associated with engineering problems and is able to solve single and multi-objective OPF problems with better solutions than comparative algorithms.

Abstract
BACKGROUND COVID-19 is the most dangerous virus, and its accurate diagnosis saves lives and slows its spread. However, COVID-19 diagnosis takes time and requires trained professionals. Therefore, developing a deep learning (DL) model on low-radiated imaging modalities like chest X-rays (CXRs) is needed. OBJECTIVE The existing DL models failed to diagnose COVID-19 and other lung diseases accurately. This study implements a multi-class CXR segmentation and classification network (MCSC-Net) to detect COVID-19 using CXR images. METHODS Initially, a hybrid median bilateral filter (HMBF) is applied to CXR images to reduce image noise and enhance the COVID-19 infected regions. Then, a skip connection-based residual network-50 (SC-ResNet50) is used to segment (localize) COVID-19 regions. The features from CXRs are further extracted using a robust feature neural network (RFNN). Since the initial features contain joint COVID-19, normal, pneumonia bacterial, and viral properties, the conventional methods fail to separate the class of each disease-based feature. To extract the distinct features of each class, RFNN includes a disease-specific feature separate attention mechanism (DSFSAM). Furthermore, the hunting nature of the Hybrid whale optimization algorithm (HWOA) is used to select the best features in each class. Finally, the deep-Q-neural network (DQNN) classifies CXRs into multiple disease classes. RESULTS The proposed MCSC-Net shows the enhanced accuracy of 99.09% for 2-class, 99.16% for 3-class, and 99.25% for 4-class classification of CXR images compared to other state-of-art approaches. CONCLUSION The proposed MCSC-Net enables to conduct multi-class segmentation and classification tasks applying to CXR images with high accuracy. Thus, together with gold-standard clinical and laboratory tests, this new method is promising to be used in future clinical practice to evaluate patients.

Abstract
This paper proposes a modified version of the Dwarf Mongoose Optimization Algorithm (IDMO) for constrained engineering design problems. This optimization technique modifies the base algorithm (DMO) in three simple but effective ways. First, the alpha selection in IDMO differs from the DMO, where evaluating the probability value of each fitness is just a computational overhead and contributes nothing to the quality of the alpha or other group members. The fittest dwarf mongoose is selected as the alpha, and a new operator ω is introduced, which controls the alpha movement, thereby enhancing the exploration ability and exploitability of the IDMO. Second, the scout group movements are modified by randomization to introduce diversity in the search process and explore unvisited areas. Finally, the babysitter's exchange criterium is modified such that once the criterium is met, the babysitters that are exchanged interact with the dwarf mongoose exchanging them to gain information about food sources and sleeping mounds, which could result in better-fitted mongooses instead of initializing them afresh as done in DMO, then the counter is reset to zero. The proposed IDMO was used to solve the classical and CEC 2020 benchmark functions and 12 continuous/discrete engineering optimization problems. The performance of the IDMO, using different performance metrics and statistical analysis, is compared with the DMO and eight other existing algorithms. In most cases, the results show that solutions achieved by the IDMO are better than those obtained by the existing algorithms.

Abstract
UNLABELLED Whale optimization algorithm (WOA) tends to fall into the local optimum and fails to converge quickly in solving complex problems. To address the shortcomings, an improved WOA (QGBWOA) is proposed in this work. First, quasi-opposition-based learning is introduced to enhance the ability of WOA to search for optimal solutions. Second, a Gaussian barebone mechanism is embedded to promote diversity and expand the scope of the solution space in WOA. To verify the advantages of QGBWOA, comparison experiments between QGBWOA and its comparison peers were carried out on CEC 2014 with dimensions 10, 30, 50, and 100 and on CEC 2020 test with dimension 30. Furthermore, the performance results were tested using Wilcoxon signed-rank (WS), Friedman test, and post hoc statistical tests for statistical analysis. Convergence accuracy and speed are remarkably improved, as shown by experimental results. Finally, feature selection and multi-threshold image segmentation applications are demonstrated to validate the ability of QGBWOA to solve complex real-world problems. QGBWOA proves its superiority over compared algorithms in feature selection and multi-threshold image segmentation by performing several evaluation metrics.

Abstract
Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) causes coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). Imaging tests such as chest X-ray (CXR) and computed tomography (CT) can provide useful information to clinical staff for facilitating a diagnosis of COVID-19 in a more efficient and comprehensive manner. As a breakthrough of artificial intelligence (AI), deep learning has been applied to perform COVID-19 infection region segmentation and disease classification by analyzing CXR and CT data. However, prediction uncertainty of deep learning models for these tasks, which is very important to safety-critical applications like medical image processing, has not been comprehensively investigated. In this work, we propose a novel ensemble deep learning model through integrating bagging deep learning and model calibration to not only enhance segmentation performance, but also reduce prediction uncertainty. The proposed method has been validated on a large dataset that is associated with CXR image segmentation. Experimental results demonstrate that the proposed method can improve the segmentation performance, as well as decrease prediction uncertainty.

Abstract
Swarm-based Metaheuristic Optimization Techniques (MOT) are the dominant among all techniques, particularly owing to their simple nature and robust performance. The Whale Optimization Algorithm (WOA), a swarm-based MOT inspired by the hunting strategy of the humpback whale, has thus far shown promising results. However, like all MOT, the WOA is not without drawbacks. These demerits are a slow convergence rate and poor exploitation capability. This may prove to be problematic when applied to optimization problems requiring high precision results. Over the past few years, there has been proposed modifications to the conventional algorithm. However, experimental analysis highlights the need to further enhance the properties of the algorithm. This work proposes an enhanced WOA for exploitation capability and stability enhancement. The proposed algorithm introduces various modifications to the position update equations of the conventional algorithm, as well as a modified algorithm structure. The proposed algorithm was compared to various state-of-the-art MOT, as well as modified WOA proposed in recent literature. When applied to the CEC 2019 benchmark functions, the proposed algorithm produced the best result in 7 of the 10 test and had the most superior overall placement. When applied to practical problems, the algorithm once again demonstrated superiority. In addition, it was observed that the proposed algorithm exhibited a superior convergence rate to the other compared techniques.

Abstract
The global pandemic caused by the coronavirus (COVID-19) disease has collapsed the worldwide economy. Elements such as non-obligatory vaccination, new strain variants and lack of discipline to follow social distancing measures suggest the possibility that COVID-19 may continue to exist, exhibiting the behavior of a seasonal disease. As the socio-economic crisis has become unsustainable, all countries are planning strategies to gradually restart their economic and social activities. Initially, several containment measures have been adopted involving social distancing, infection detection tests, and ventilation systems. Despite the implementation of such policies, there exists a lack of evaluation of their performance to reduce the contagion index. This means there are no appropriate indicators to decide which intervention or set of interventions present the most effective result. Under these conditions, the development of models that provide useful information in the design and evaluation of containment measures and re-opening policies is of prime concern. In this paper, a novel approach to model the transmission process of COVID-19 in closed environments is proposed. The proposed model can simulate the effects that result from the complex interaction among individuals when they follow a particular containment measure or re-opening policy. With the proposed model, different hypothetical re-opening policies, that are otherwise impossible to analyze in real conditions, can be tested. Computer experiments demonstrate that the proposed model provides suitable information and realistic predictions, which are appropriate for designing strategies that allow a safe return to economic activities.

Abstract
Because of their superior problem-solving ability, nature-inspired optimization algorithms are being regularly used in solving complex real-world optimization problems. Engineering academics have recently focused on meta-heuristic algorithms to solve various optimization challenges. Among the state-of-the-art algorithms, Differential Evolution (DE) is one of the most successful algorithms and is frequently used to solve various industrial problems. Over the previous 2 decades, DE has been heavily modified to improve its capabilities. Several DE variations secured positions in IEEE CEC competitions, establishing their efficacy. However, to our knowledge, there has never been a comparison of performance across various CEC-winning DE versions, which could aid in determining which is the most successful. In this study, the performance of DE and its eight other IEEE CEC competition-winning variants are compared. First, the algorithms have evaluated IEEE CEC 2019 and 2020 bound-constrained functions, and the performances have been compared. One unconstrained problem from IEEE CEC 2011 problem suite and five other constrained mechanical engineering design problems, out of which four issues have been taken from IEEE CEC 2020 non-convex constrained optimization suite, have been solved to compare the performances. Statistical analyses like Friedman's test and Wilcoxon's test are executed to verify the algorithm's ability statistically. Performance analysis exposes that none of the DE variants can solve all the problems efficiently. Performance of SHADE and ELSHADE-SPACMA are considerable among the methods used for comparison to solve such mechanical design problems.

Binary Aquila Optimizer for Selecting Effective Features from Medical Data: A COVID-19 Case Study. MATHEMATICS 2022.

Abstract
Medical technological advancements have led to the creation of various large datasets with numerous attributes. The presence of redundant and irrelevant features in datasets negatively influences algorithms and leads to decreases in the performance of the algorithms. Using effective features in data mining and analyzing tasks such as classification can increase the accuracy of the results and relevant decisions made by decision-makers using them. This increase can become more acute when dealing with challenging, large-scale problems in medical applications. Nature-inspired metaheuristics show superior performance in finding optimal feature subsets in the literature. As a seminal attempt, a wrapper feature selection approach is presented on the basis of the newly proposed Aquila optimizer (AO) in this work. In this regard, the wrapper approach uses AO as a search algorithm in order to discover the most effective feature subset. S-shaped binary Aquila optimizer (SBAO) and V-shaped binary Aquila optimizer (VBAO) are two binary algorithms suggested for feature selection in medical datasets. Binary position vectors are generated utilizing S- and V-shaped transfer functions while the search space stays continuous. The suggested algorithms are compared to six recent binary optimization algorithms on seven benchmark medical datasets. In comparison to the comparative algorithms, the gained results demonstrate that using both proposed BAO variants can improve the classification accuracy on these medical datasets. The proposed algorithm is also tested on the real-dataset COVID-19. The findings testified that SBAO outperforms comparative algorithms regarding the least number of selected features with the highest accuracy.

Abstract
Backtracking search algorithm (BSA) is a nature-based optimization technique extensively used to solve various real-world global optimization problems for the past few years. The present work aims to introduce an improved BSA (ImBSA) based on a multi-population approach and modified control parameter settings to apprehend an ensemble of various mutation strategies. In the proposed ImBSA, a new mutation strategy is suggested to enhance the algorithm’s performance. Also, for all mutation strategies, the control parameters are updated adaptively during the algorithm’s execution. Extensive experiments have been performed on CEC2014 and CEC2017 single-objective benchmark functions, and the results are compared with several state-of-the-art algorithms, improved BSA variants, efficient differential evolution (DE) variants, particle swarm optimization (PSO) variants, and some other hybrid variants. The nonparametric Friedman rank test has been conducted to examine the efficiency of the proposed algorithm statistically. Moreover, six real-world engineering design problems have been solved to examine the problem-solving ability of ImBSA. The experimental results, statistical analysis, convergence graphs, complexity analysis, and the results of real-world applications confirm the superior performance of the suggested ImBSA.

Abstract
The optimal power flow (OPF) is a vital tool for optimizing the control parameters of a power system by considering the desired objective functions subject to system constraints. Metaheuristic algorithms have been proven to be well-suited for solving complex optimization problems. The whale optimization algorithm (WOA) is one of the well-regarded metaheuristics that is widely used to solve different optimization problems. Despite the use of WOA in different fields of application as OPF, its effectiveness is decreased as the dimension size of the test system is increased. Therefore, in this paper, an effective whale optimization algorithm for solving optimal power flow problems (EWOA-OPF) is proposed. The main goal of this enhancement is to improve the exploration ability and maintain a proper balance between the exploration and exploitation of the canonical WOA. In the proposed algorithm, the movement strategy of whales is enhanced by introducing two new movement strategies: (1) encircling the prey using Levy motion and (2) searching for prey using Brownian motion that cooperate with canonical bubble-net attacking. To validate the proposed EWOA-OPF algorithm, a comparison among six well-known optimization algorithms is established to solve the OPF problem. All algorithms are used to optimize single- and multi-objective functions of the OPF under the system constraints. Standard IEEE 6-bus, IEEE 14-bus, IEEE 30-bus, and IEEE 118-bus test systems are used to evaluate the proposed EWOA-OPF and comparative algorithms for solving the OPF problem in diverse power system scale sizes. The comparison of results proves that the EWOA-OPF is able to solve single- and multi-objective OPF problems with better solutions than other comparative algorithms.
