Firstly, urgency cost, economic cost, and transportation distance cost were identified as key objectives. The study applied fuzzy theory integration to construct a triangular fuzzy multi-objective site selection decision model. Next, the defuzzification theory transformed the fuzzy decision model into a precise one. Subsequently, an improved Chaotic Quantum Multi-Objective Harris Hawks Optimization (CQ-MOHHO) algorithm was proposed to solve the model. The CQ-MOHHO algorithm was shown to rapidly produce high-quality Pareto front solutions and identify optimal site selection schemes for emergency resource distribution centers through case studies. This outcome verified the feasibility and efficacy of the site selection decision model and the CQ-MOHHO algorithm. To further assess CQ-MOHHO’s performance, Zitzler-Deb-Thiele (ZDT) test functions, commonly used in multi-objective optimization, were employed. Comparisons with Multi-Objective Harris Hawks Optimization (MOHHO), Non-dominated Sorting Genetic Algorithm II (NSGA-II), and Multi-Objective Grey Wolf Optimizer (MOGWO) using Generational Distance (GD), Hypervolume (HV), and Inverted Generational Distance (IGD) metrics showed that CQ-MOHHO achieved superior global search ability, faster convergence, and higher solution quality. The CQ-MOHHO algorithm efficiently achieved a balance between multiple objectives, providing decision-makers with satisfactory solutions and a valuable reference for researching and applying emergency site selection problems.展开更多

Bayesian classifiers, a popular supervised learning method, rely on accurate probability density estimation for classifying continuous datasets. However, achieving precise density estimation with datasets containing outliers poses a significant challenge. This paper introduces a Bayesian classifier that utilizes optimized robust kernel density estimation to address this issue. Our proposed method enhances the accuracy of probability density distribution estimation by mitigating the impact of outliers on the training sample’s estimated distribution. Unlike the conventional kernel density estimator, our robust estimator can be seen as a weighted kernel mapping summary for each sample. This kernel mapping performs the inner product in the Hilbert space, allowing the kernel density estimation to be considered the average of the samples’ mapping in the Hilbert space using a reproducing kernel. M-estimation techniques are used to obtain accurate mean values and solve the weights. Meanwhile, complete cross-validation is used as the objective function to search for the optimal bandwidth, which impacts the estimator. The Harris Hawks Optimisation optimizes the objective function to improve the estimation accuracy. The experimental results show that it outperforms other optimization algorithms regarding convergence speed and objective function value during the bandwidth search. The optimal robust kernel density estimator achieves better fitness performance than the traditional kernel density estimator when the training data contains outliers. The Naïve Bayesian with optimal robust kernel density estimation improves the generalization in the classification with outliers.展开更多

Complex network methods are usually graphical, with graph nodes representing objects and edges representing connections between things. Communities are node clusters with many internal links but minimal intergroup connections. Although community detection has attracted much attention in social media research, most face functional weaknesses because the structure of society is unclear or the characteristics of nodes in society are not the same. Also, many existing algorithms have complex and costly calculations. This paper proposes different Harris Hawk Optimization (HHO) algorithm methods (such as Improved HHO Opposition-Based Learning(OBL) (IHHOOBL), Improved HHO Lévy Flight (IHHOLF), and Improved HHO Chaotic Map (IHHOCM)) were designed to balance exploitation and exploration in this algorithm for community detection in the social network. The proposed methods are evaluated on 12 different datasets based on NMI and modularity criteria. The findings reveal that the IHHOOBL method has better detection accuracy than IHHOLF and IHHOCM. Also, to offer the efficiency of the , state-of-the-art algorithms have been used as comparisons. The improvement percentage of IHHOOBL compared to the state-of-the-art algorithm is about 7.18%.展开更多

文摘Harris Hawks Optimization(HHO)is a novel meta-heuristic algorithm that imitates the predation characteristics of Harris Hawk and combines Lévy flight to solve complex multidimensional problems.Nevertheless,the basic HHO algorithm still has certain limitations,including the tendency to fall into the local optima and poor convergence accuracy.Coot Bird Optimization(CBO)is another new swarm-based optimization algorithm.CBO originates from the regular and irregular motion of a bird called Coot on the water’s surface.Although the framework of CBO is slightly complicated,it has outstanding exploration potential and excellent capability to avoid falling into local optimal solutions.This paper proposes a novel enhanced hybrid algorithm based on the basic HHO and CBO named Enhanced Harris Hawks Optimization Integrated with Coot Bird Optimization(EHHOCBO).EHHOCBO can provide higher-quality solutions for numerical optimization problems.It first embeds the leadership mechanism of CBO into the population initialization process of HHO.This way can take full advantage of the valuable solution information to provide a good foundation for the global search of the hybrid algorithm.Secondly,the Ensemble Mutation Strategy(EMS)is introduced to generate the mutant candidate positions for consideration,further improving the hybrid algorithm’s exploration trend and population diversity.To further reduce the likelihood of falling into the local optima and speed up the convergence,Refracted Opposition-Based Learning(ROBL)is adopted to update the current optimal solution in the swarm.Using 23 classical benchmark functions and the IEEE CEC2017 test suite,the performance of the proposed EHHOCBO is comprehensively evaluated and compared with eight other basic meta-heuristic algorithms and six improved variants.Experimental results show that EHHOCBO can achieve better solution accuracy,faster convergence speed,and a more robust ability to jump out of local optima than other advanced optimizers in most test cases.Finally,EHHOCBOis applied to address four engineering design problems.Our findings indicate that the proposed method also provides satisfactory performance regarding the convergence accuracy of the optimal global solution.

文摘Because of the low convergence accuracy of the basic Harris Hawks algorithm,which quickly falls into the local optimal,a Harris Hawks algorithm combining tuna swarm algorithm and differential mutation strategy(TDHHO)is proposed.The escape energy factor of nonlinear periodic energy decline balances the ability of global exploration and regional development.The parabolic foraging approach of the tuna swarm algorithm is introduced to enhance the global exploration ability of the algorithm and accelerate the convergence speed.The difference variation strategy is used to mutate the individual position and calculate the fitness,and the fitness of the original individual position is compared.The greedy technique is used to select the one with better fitness of the objective function,which increases the diversity of the population and improves the possibility of the algorithm jumping out of the local extreme value.The test function tests the TDHHO algorithm,and compared with other optimization algorithms,the experimental results show that the convergence speed and optimization accuracy of the improved Harris Hawks are improved.Finally,the enhanced Harris Hawks algorithm is applied to engineering optimization and wireless sensor networks(WSN)coverage optimization problems,and the feasibility of the TDHHO algorithm in practical application is further verified.
文摘The eminence of Economic Dispatch(ED)in power systems is signifi-cantly high as it involves in scheduling the available power from various power plants with less cost by compensating equality and inequality constrictions.The emission of toxic gases from power plants leads to environmental imbalance and so it is highly mandatory to rectify this issues for obtaining optimal perfor-mance in the power systems.In this present study,the Economic and Emission Dispatch(EED)problems are resolved as multi objective Economic Dispatch pro-blems by using Harris Hawk’s Optimization(HHO),which is capable enough to resolve the concerned issue in a wider range.In addition,the clustering approach is employed to maintain the size of the Pareto Optimal(PO)set during each itera-tion and fuzzy based approach is employed to extricate compromise solution from the Pareto front.To meet the equality constraint effectively,a new demand-based constraint handling mechanism is adopted.This paper also includes Wind energy conversion system(WECS)in EED problem.The conventional thermal generator cost is taken into account while considering the overall cost functions of wind energy like overestimated,underestimated and proportional costs.The quality of the non-dominated solution set is measured using quality metrics such as Set Spacing(SP)and Hyper-Volume(HV)and the solutions are compared with other conventional algorithms to prove its efficiency.The present study is validated with the outcomes of various literature papers.
文摘The purpose of community detection in complex networks is to identify the structural location of nodes. Complex network methods are usually graphical, with graph nodes representing objects and edges representing connections between things. Communities are node clusters with many internal links but minimal intergroup connections. Although community detection has attracted much attention in social media research, most face functional weaknesses because the structure of society is unclear or the characteristics of nodes in society are not the same. Also, many existing algorithms have complex and costly calculations. This paper proposes different Harris Hawk Optimization (HHO) algorithm methods (such as Improved HHO Opposition-Based Learning(OBL) (IHHOOBL), Improved HHO Lévy Flight (IHHOLF), and Improved HHO Chaotic Map (IHHOCM)) were designed to balance exploitation and exploration in this algorithm for community detection in the social network. The proposed methods are evaluated on 12 different datasets based on NMI and modularity criteria. The findings reveal that the IHHOOBL method has better detection accuracy than IHHOLF and IHHOCM. Also, to offer the efficiency of the , state-of-the-art algorithms have been used as comparisons. The improvement percentage of IHHOOBL compared to the state-of-the-art algorithm is about 7.18%.
文摘In response to the increasing global energy demand and environmental pollution,microgrids have emerged as an innovative solution by integrating distributed energy resources(DERs),energy storage systems,and loads to improve energy efficiency and reliability.This study proposes a novel hybrid optimization algorithm,DE-HHO,combining differential evolution(DE)and Harris Hawks optimization(HHO)to address microgrid scheduling issues.The proposed method adopts a multi-objective optimization framework that simultaneously minimizes operational costs and environmental impacts.The DE-HHO algorithm demonstrates significant advantages in convergence speed and global search capability through the analysis of wind,solar,micro-gas turbine,and battery models.Comprehensive simulation tests show that DE-HHO converges rapidly within 10 iterations and achieves a 4.5%reduction in total cost compared to PSO and a 5.4%reduction compared to HHO.Specifically,DE-HHO attains an optimal total cost of$20,221.37,outperforming PSO($21,184.45)and HHO($21,372.24).The maximum cost obtained by DE-HHO is$23,420.55,with a mean of$21,615.77,indicating stability and cost control capabilities.These results highlight the effectiveness of DE-HHO in reducing operational costs and enhancing system stability for efficient and sustainable microgrid operation.

文摘To improve the quality of the illumination distribution,one novel indoor visible light communication(VLC)system,which is jointly assisted by the angle-diversity transceivers and simultaneous transmission and reflection-intelligent reflecting surface(STAR-IRS),has been proposed in this work.A Harris Hawks optimizer algorithm(HHOA)-based two-stage alternating iteration algorithm(TSAIA)is presented to jointly optimize the magnitude and uniformity of the received optical power.Besides,to demonstrate the superiority of the proposed strategy,several benchmark schemes are simulated and compared.Results showed that compared to other optimization strategies,the TSAIA scheme is more capable of balancing the average value and variance of the received optical power,when the maximal ratio combining(MRC)strategy is adopted at the receiver.Moreover,as the number of the STAR-IRS elements increases,the optical power variance of the system optimized by TSAIA scheme would become smaller while the average optical power would get larger.This study will benefit the design of received optical power distribution for indoor VLC systems.

文摘Early detection of Alzheimer’s disease(AD)is crucial,particularly in resource-constrained medical settings.This study introduces an optimized deep learning framework that conceptualizes neural networks as computational“sensors”for neurodegenerative diagnosis,incorporating feature selection,selective layer unfreezing,pruning,and algorithmic optimization.An enhanced lightweight hybrid DenseNet201 model is proposed,integrating layer pruning strategies for feature selection and bioinspired optimization techniques,including Genetic Algorithm(GA)and Harris Hawks Optimization(HHO),for hyperparameter tuning.Layer pruning helps identify and eliminate less significant features,while model parameter optimization further enhances performance by fine-tuning critical hyperparameters,improving convergence speed,and maximizing classification accuracy.GA is also used to reduce the number of selected features further.A detailed comparison of six AD classification model setups is provided to illustrate the variations and their impact on performance.Applying the lightweight hybrid DenseNet201 model for MRI-based AD classification yielded an impressive baseline F1 score of 98%.Overall feature reduction reached 51.75%,enhancing interpretability and lowering processing costs.The optimized models further demonstrated perfect generalization,achieving 100%classification accuracy.These findings underscore the potential of advanced optimization techniques in developing efficient and accurate AD diagnostic tools suitable for environments with limited computational resources.
