This paper introduces a new optimisation algorithm, called Adaptive Bacterial Colony Optimisation (ABCO), modelled after the foraging behaviour of E. coli bacteria. The algorithm follows three stages--explore, exploit and reproduce--and is…

Particle Swarm Optimisation (PSO) is a powerful optimisation algorithm that can be used to locate global maxima in a search space. Recent interest in swarms of Micro Aerial Vehicles (MAVs) begs the question as to whether PSO can be used as…

We dramatically improve convergence speed and global exploration capabilities of particle swarm optimization (PSO) through a targeted position-mutated elitism (PSO-TPME). The three key innovations address particle classification, elitism,…

Neural Combinatorial Optimization (NCO) has emerged as a promising approach for NP-hard problems. However, prevailing RL-based methods suffer from low sample efficiency due to sparse rewards and underused solutions. We propose Best-anchored…

We study the problem of scheduling jobs on parallel machines minimizing the total completion time, with each job using exactly one resource. First, we derive fundamental properties of the problem and show that the problem is polynomially…

We study the variant of Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) that applies random velocities in a dimension instead of the regular velocity update equations as soon as the so-called potential of the swarm falls below a certain bound in this…

Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) has demonstrated efficacy in addressing static path planning problems. Nevertheless, such application on dynamic scenarios has been severely precluded by PSO's low computational efficiency and premature…

The personnel scheduling problem is a well-known NP-hard combinatorial problem. Due to the complexity of this problem and the size of the real-world instances, it is not possible to use exact methods, and thus heuristics, meta-heuristics,…

Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) is a popular nature-inspired meta-heuristic for solving continuous optimization problems. Although this technique is widely used, the understanding of the mechanisms that make swarms so successful is still…

The OSCAR (octagonal selection and clustering algorithm for regression) regularizer consists of a L_1 norm plus a pair-wise L_inf norm (responsible for its grouping behavior) and was proposed to encourage group sparsity in scenarios where…

Solving exactly Combinatorial Optimization Problems (COPs) using a Branch-and-Bound (B&B) algorithm requires a huge amount of computational resources. Therefore, we recently investigated designing B&B algorithms on top of graphics…

The performance of the meta-heuristic algorithms often depends on their parameter settings. Appropriate tuning of the underlying parameters can drastically improve the performance of a meta-heuristic. The Ant Colony Optimization (ACO), a…
