文摘In the traditional rolling force model of tandem cold rolling mills,the calculation of the deformation resistance of the strip head does not consider the actual size and mechanical properties of the incoming material,which results in a mismatch between the deformation resistance setting and the actual state of the incoming material and thus affects the accuracy of the rolling force during the low-speed rolling process of the strip head.The inverse calculation of deformation resistance was derived to obtain the actual deformation resistance of the strip head in the tandem cold rolling process,and the actual process parameters of the strip in the hot and cold rolling processes were integrated to create the cross-process dataset as the basis to establish the support vector regression(SVR)model.The grey wolf optimization(GWO)algorithm was used to optimize the hyperparameters in the SVR model,and a deformation resistance prediction model based on GWO–SVR was established.Compared with the traditional model,the GWO–SVR model shows different degrees of improvement in each stand,with significant improvement in stands S3–S5.The prediction results of the GWO–SVR model were applied to calculate the head rolling setting of a 1420 mm tandem rolling mill.The head rolling force had a similar degree of improvement in accuracy to the deformation resistance,and the phenomenon of low head rolling force setting from stands S3 to S5 was obviously improved.Meanwhile,the thickness quality and shape quality of the strip head were improved accordingly,and the application results were consistent with expectations.
文摘Selecting the most relevant subset of features from a dataset is a vital step in data mining and machine learning.Each feature in a dataset has 2n possible subsets,making it challenging to select the optimum collection of features using typical methods.As a result,a new metaheuristicsbased feature selection method based on the dipper-throated and grey-wolf optimization(DTO-GW)algorithms has been developed in this research.Instability can result when the selection of features is subject to metaheuristics,which can lead to a wide range of results.Thus,we adopted hybrid optimization in our method of optimizing,which allowed us to better balance exploration and harvesting chores more equitably.We propose utilizing the binary DTO-GW search approach we previously devised for selecting the optimal subset of attributes.In the proposed method,the number of features selected is minimized,while classification accuracy is increased.To test the proposed method’s performance against eleven other state-of-theart approaches,eight datasets from the UCI repository were used,such as binary grey wolf search(bGWO),binary hybrid grey wolf,and particle swarm optimization(bGWO-PSO),bPSO,binary stochastic fractal search(bSFS),binary whale optimization algorithm(bWOA),binary modified grey wolf optimization(bMGWO),binary multiverse optimization(bMVO),binary bowerbird optimization(bSBO),binary hysteresis optimization(bHy),and binary hysteresis optimization(bHWO).The suggested method is superior 4532 CMC,2023,vol.74,no.2 and successful in handling the problem of feature selection,according to the results of the experiments.

文摘Big data are regarded as a tremendous technology for processing a huge variety of data in a short time and with a large storage capacity.The user’s access over the internet creates massive data processing over the internet.Big data require an intelligent feature selection model by addressing huge varieties of data.Traditional feature selection techniques are only applicable to simple data mining.Intelligent techniques are needed in big data processing and machine learning for an efficient classification.Major feature selection algorithms read the input features as they are.Then,the features are preprocessed and classified.Here,an algorithm does not consider the relatedness.During feature selection,all features are misread as outputs.Accordingly,a less optimal solution is achieved.In our proposed research,we focus on the feature selection by using supervised learning techniques called grey wolf optimization(GWO)with decomposed random differential grouping(DrnDG-GWO).First,decomposition of features into subsets based on relatedness in variables is performed.Random differential grouping is performed using a fitness value of two variables.Now,every subset is regarded as a population in GWO techniques.The combination of supervised machine learning with swarm intelligence techniques produces best feature optimization results in this research.Once the features are optimized,we classify using advanced kNN process for accurate data classification.The result of DrnDGGWO is compared with those of the standard GWO and GWO with PSO for feature selection to compare the efficiency of the proposed algorithm.The accuracy and time complexity of the proposed algorithm are 98%and 5 s,which are better than the existing techniques.

文摘The high-purity distillation column system is strongly nonlinear and coupled,which makes it difficult to control.Active disturbance rejection control(ADRC)has been widely used in distillation systems,but it has limitations in controlling distillation systems with large time delays since ADRC employs ESO and feedback control law to estimate the total disturbance of the system without considering the large time delays.This paper designs a proportion integral-type active disturbance rejection generalized predictive control(PI-ADRGPC)algorithm to control the distillation column system with large time delay.It replaces the PD controller in ADRC with a proportion integral-type generalized predictive control(PI-GPC),thereby improving the performance of control systems with large time delays.Since the proposed controller has many parameters and is difficult to tune,this paper proposes to use the grey wolf optimization(GWO)to tune these parameters,whose structure can also be used by other intelligent optimization algorithms.The performance of GWO tuned PI-ADRGPC is compared with the control performance of GWO tuned ADRC method,multi-verse optimizer(MVO)tuned PI-ADRGPC and MVO tuned ADRC.The simulation results show that the proposed strategy can track reference well and has a good disturbance rejection performance.

文摘In order to predict backfill strength rapidly with high accuracy and provide a new technical support for digitization and intelligentization of mine,a support vector regression(SVR)model improved by grey wolf optimization(GWO),GWO-SVR model,is established.First,GWO is used to optimize penalty term and kernel function parameter in SVR model with high accuracy based on the experimental data of uniaxial compressive strength of filling body.Subsequently,a prediction model which uses the best two parameters of best c and best g is established with the slurry density,cement dosage,ratio of artificial aggregate to tailings,and curing time taken as input factors,and uniaxial compressive strength of backfill as the output factor.The root mean square error of this GWO-SVR model in predicting backfill strength is 0.143 and the coefficient of determination is 0.983,which means that the predictive effect of this model is accurate and reliable.Compared with the original SVR model without the optimization of GWO and particle swam optimization(PSO)-SVR model,the performance of GWO-SVR model is greatly promoted.The establishment of GWO-SVR model provides a new tool for predicting backfill strength scientifically.
文摘Recognizing signs and fonts of prehistoric language is a fairly difficult job that requires special tools.This stipulation make the dispensation period over-riding,difficult and tiresome to calculate.This paper present a technique for recognizing ancient south Indian languages by applying Artificial Neural Network(ANN)associated with Opposition based Grey Wolf Optimization Algorithm(OGWA).It identifies the prehistoric language,signs and fonts.It is an apparent from the ANN system that arbitrarily produced weights or neurons linking various layers play a significant role in its performance.For adaptively determining these weights,this paper applies various optimization algorithms such as Opposition based Grey Wolf Optimization,Particle Swarm Optimization and Grey Wolf Opti-mization to the ANN system.Performance results are illustrated that the proposed ANN-OGWO technique achieves superior accuracy over the other techniques.In test case 1,the accuracy value of OGWO is 94.89%and in test case 2,the accu-racy value of OGWO is 92.34%,on average,the accuracy of OGWO achieves 5.8%greater accuracy than ANN-GWO,10.1%greater accuracy than ANN-PSO and 22.1%greater accuracy over conventional ANN technique.
文摘The research on Unmanned Aerial Vehicles(UAV)has intensified considerably thanks to the recent growth in the fields of advanced automatic control,artificial intelligence,and miniaturization.In this paper,a Grey Wolf Optimization(GWO)algorithm is proposed and successfully applied to tune all effective parameters of Fast Terminal Sliding Mode(FTSM)controllers for a quadrotor UAV.A full control scheme is first established to deal with the coupled and underactuated dynamics of the drone.Controllers for altitude,attitude,and position dynamics become separately designed and tuned.To work around the repetitive and time-consuming trial-error-based procedures,all FTSM controllers’parameters for only altitude and attitude dynamics are systematically tuned thanks to the proposed GWO metaheuristic.Such a hard and complex tuning task is formulated as a nonlinear optimization problem under operational constraints.The performance and robustness of the GWO-based control strategy are compared to those based on homologous metaheuristics and standard terminal sliding mode approaches.Numerical simulations are carried out to show the effectiveness and superiority of the proposed GWO-tuned FTSM controllers for the altitude and attitude dynamics’stabilization and tracking.Nonparametric statistical analyses revealed that the GWO algorithm is more competitive with high performance in terms of fastness,non-premature convergence,and research exploration/exploitation capabilities.

文摘It is important for regional water resources management to know the agricultural water consumption information several months in advance.Forecasting reference evapotranspiration(ET_(0))in the next few months is important for irrigation and reservoir management.Studies on forecasting of multiple-month ahead ET_(0) using machine learning models have not been reported yet.Besides,machine learning models such as the XGBoost model has multiple parameters that need to be tuned,and traditional methods can get stuck in a regional optimal solution and fail to obtain a global optimal solution.This study investigated the performance of the hybrid extreme gradient boosting(XGBoost)model coupled with the Grey Wolf Optimizer(GWO)algorithm for forecasting multi-step ahead ET_(0)(1-3 months ahead),compared with three conventional machine learning models,i.e.,standalone XGBoost,multi-layer perceptron(MLP)and M5 model tree(M5)models in the subtropical zone of China.The results showed that theGWO-XGB model generally performed better than the other three machine learning models in forecasting 1-3 months ahead ET_(0),followed by the XGB,M5 and MLP models with very small differences among the three models.The GWO-XGB model performed best in autumn,while the MLP model performed slightly better than the other three models in summer.It is thus suggested to apply the MLP model for ET_(0) forecasting in summer but use the GWO-XGB model in other seasons.
文摘The first step in the design phase of the Brushless Direct Current(BLDC)motor is the formulation of the mathematical framework and is often used due to its analytical structure.Therefore,the BLDC motor design problem is considered to be an optimization problem.In this paper,the analytical model of the BLDC motor is presented,and it is considered to be a basis for emphasizing the optimization methods.The analytical model used for the experimentation has 78 non-linear equations,two objective functions,five design variables,and six non-linear constraints,so the BLDC motor design problem is considered as highly non-linear in electromagnetic optimization.Multi-objective optimization becomes the forefront of the current research to obtain the global best solution using metaheuristic techniques.The bio-inspired multi-objective grey wolf optimizer(MOGWO)is presented in this paper,and it is formulated based on Pareto optimality,dominance,and archiving external.The performance of theMOGWO is verified on standard multi-objective unconstraint benchmark functions and applied to the BLDC motor design problem.The results proved that the proposedMOGWO algorithm could handle nonlinear constraints in electromagnetic optimization problems.The performance comparison in terms of Generational Distance,inversion GD,Hypervolume-matrix,scattered-matrix,and coverage metrics proves that the MOGWO algorithm can provide the best solution compared to other selected algorithms.The source code of this paper is backed up with extra online support at https://premkumarmanoharan.wixsite.com/mysite and https://www.mathworks.com/matlabcentral/fileexchange/75259-multiobjective-non-sorted-grey-wolf-mogwo-nsgwo.

文摘The grey wolf optimizer(GWO),a population-based meta-heuristic algorithm,mimics the predatory behavior of grey wolf packs.Continuously exploring and introducing improvement mechanisms is one of the keys to drive the development and application of GWO algorithms.To overcome the premature and stagnation of GWO,the paper proposes a multiple strategy grey wolf optimization algorithm(MSGWO).Firstly,an variable weights strategy is proposed to improve convergence rate by adjusting the weights dynamically.Secondly,this paper proposes a reverse learning strategy,which randomly reverses some individuals to improve the global search ability.Thirdly,the chain predation strategy is designed to allow the search agent to be guided by both the best individual and the previous individual.Finally,this paper proposes a rotation predation strategy,which regards the position of the current best individual as the pivot and rotate other members for enhacing the exploitation ability.To verify the performance of the proposed technique,MSGWO is compared with seven state-of-the-art meta-heuristics and four variant GWO algorithms on CEC2022 benchmark functions and three engineering optimization problems.The results demonstrate that MSGWO has better performance on most of benchmark functions and shows competitive in solving engineering design problems.

文摘Cyber-physical systems(CPS)represent a sophisticated integration of computational and physical components that power critical applications such as smart manufacturing,healthcare,and autonomous infrastructure.However,their extensive reliance on internet connectivity makes them increasingly susceptible to cyber threats,potentially leading to operational failures and data breaches.Furthermore,CPS faces significant threats related to unauthorized access,improper management,and tampering of the content it generates.In this paper,we propose an intrusion detection system(IDS)optimized for CPS environments using a hybrid approach by combining a natureinspired feature selection scheme,such as Grey Wolf Optimization(GWO),in connection with the emerging Light Gradient Boosting Machine(LightGBM)classifier,named as GWO-LightGBM.While gradient boosting methods have been explored in prior IDS research,our novelty lies in proposing a hybrid approach targeting CPS-specific operational constraints,such as low-latency response and accurate detection of rare and critical attack types.We evaluate GWO-LightGBM against GWO-XGBoost,GWO-CatBoost,and an artificial neural network(ANN)baseline using the NSL-KDD and CIC-IDS-2017 benchmark datasets.The proposed models are assessed across multiple metrics,including accuracy,precision,recall,and F1-score,with an emphasis on class-wise performance and training efficiency.The proposed GWO-LightGBM model achieves the highest overall accuracy(99.73%)for NSL-KDD and(99.61%)for CIC-IDS-2017,demonstrating superior performance in detecting minority classes such as Remote-to-Local(R2L)and Other attacks—commonly overlooked by other classifiers.Moreover,the proposed model consumes lower training time,highlighting its practical feasibility and scalability for real-time CPS deployment.
文摘Purpose-Software defect prediction(SDP)is a critical aspect of software quality assurance,aiming to identify and manage potential defects in software systems.In this paper,we have proposed a novel hybrid approach that combines Grey Wolf Optimization with Feature Selection(GWOFS)and multilayer perceptron(MLP)for SDP.The GWOFS-MLP hybrid model is designed to optimize feature selection,ultimately enhancing the accuracy and efficiency of SDP.Grey Wolf Optimization,inspired by the social hierarchy and hunting behavior of grey wolves,is employed to select a subset of relevant features from an extensive pool of potential predictors.This study investigates the key challenges that traditional SDP approaches encounter and proposes promising solutions to overcome time complexity and the curse of the dimensionality reduction problem.Design/methodology/approach-The integration of GWOFS and MLP results in a robust hybrid model that can adapt to diverse software datasets.This feature selection process harnesses the cooperative hunting behavior of wolves,allowing for the exploration of critical feature combinations.The selected features are then fed into an MLP,a powerful artificial neural network(ANN)known for its capability to learn intricate patterns within software metrics.MLP serves as the predictive engine,utilizing the curated feature set to model and classify software defects accurately.Findings-The performance evaluation of the GWOFS-MLP hybrid model on a real-world software defect dataset demonstrates its effectiveness.The model achieves a remarkable training accuracy of 97.69%and a testing accuracy of 97.99%.Additionally,the receiver operating characteristic area under the curve(ROC-AUC)score of 0.89 highlights themodel’s ability to discriminate between defective and defect-free software components.Originality/value-Experimental implementations using machine learning-based techniques with feature reduction are conducted to validate the proposed solutions.The goal is to enhance SDP’s accuracy,relevance and efficiency,ultimately improving software quality assurance processes.The confusion matrix further illustrates the model’s performance,with only a small number of false positives and false negatives.

文摘The distributed flexible job shop scheduling problem(DFJSP)has attracted great attention with the growth of the global manufacturing industry.General DFJSP research only considers machine constraints and ignores worker constraints.As one critical factor of production,effective utilization of worker resources can increase productivity.Meanwhile,energy consumption is a growing concern due to the increasingly serious environmental issues.Therefore,the distributed flexible job shop scheduling problem with dual resource constraints(DFJSP-DRC)for minimizing makespan and total energy consumption is studied in this paper.To solve the problem,we present a multi-objective mathematical model for DFJSP-DRC and propose a Q-learning-based multi-objective grey wolf optimizer(Q-MOGWO).In Q-MOGWO,high-quality initial solutions are generated by a hybrid initialization strategy,and an improved active decoding strategy is designed to obtain the scheduling schemes.To further enhance the local search capability and expand the solution space,two wolf predation strategies and three critical factory neighborhood structures based on Q-learning are proposed.These strategies and structures enable Q-MOGWO to explore the solution space more efficiently and thus find better Pareto solutions.The effectiveness of Q-MOGWO in addressing DFJSP-DRC is verified through comparison with four algorithms using 45 instances.The results reveal that Q-MOGWO outperforms comparison algorithms in terms of solution quality.

文摘A short-term wind power prediction method is proposed in this paper with experimental results obtained from a wind farm located in Northeast China.In order to improve the accuracy of the prediction method using a traditional back-propagation(BP)neural network algorithm,the improved grey wolf optimization(IGWO)algorithm has been adopted to optimize its parameters.The performance of the proposed method has been evaluated by experiments.First,the features of the wind farm are described to show the fundamental information of the experiments.A single turbine with rated power of 1500 kW and power generation coefficient of 2.74 in the wind farm was introduced to show the technical details of the turbines.Original wind power data of the whole farm were preprocessed by using the quartile method to remove the abnormal data points.Then,the retained wind power data were predicted and analysed by using the proposed IGWO-BP algorithm.Analysis of the results proves the practicability and efficiency of the prediction model.Results show that the average accuracy of prediction is~11%greater than the traditional BP method.In this way,the proposed wind power prediction method can be adopted to improve the accuracy of prediction and to ensure the effective utilization of wind energy.
文摘A Simplified Grey Wolf Optimizer(SGWO)is suggested for resolving optimization tasks.The simplification in the original Grey Wolf Optimizer(GWO)method is introduced by ignoring the worst category wolves while giving priority to the better wolves during the search process.The advantage of the presented SGWO over GWO is a better solution taking less execution time and is demonstrated by taking unimodal,multimodal,and fixed dimension test functions.The results are also contrasted to the Gravitational Search Algorithm,the Particle Swarm Optimization,and the Sine Cosine Algorithm and this shows the superiority of the proposed SGWO technique.Practical application in a Distributed Power Generation System(DPGS)with energy storage is then considered by designing an Adaptive Fuzzy PID(AFPID)controller using the suggested SGWO method for frequency control.The DPGS contains renewable generation such as photovoltaic,wind,and storage elements such as battery and flywheel,in addition to plug-in electric vehicles.It is demonstrated that the SGWO method is superior to the GWO method in the optimal controller design task.It is also seen that SGWO based AFPID controller is highly efficacious in regulating the frequency compared to the standard PID controller.A sensitivity study is also performed to examine the impact of the unpredictability in the parameters of the investigated system on system performance.Finally,the novelty of the paper is demonstrated by comparing with the existing publications in an extensively used two-area test system.
