Improved Biogeography-Based Optimization approach to secondary protein prediction

摘要

In recent years, many bio-inspired computation algorithms have been proposed to solve constraint problems. Biogeography-Based Optimization (BBO) is one of these newly proposed optimization algorithms. As a new way to solve complicated optimization problems, BBO has a quick convergence. In this paper, we proposed an improved BBO for solving protein structure prediction problems. Comparative experiments with standard BBO and differential evolution algorithm (DE) are also conducted, and the results demonstrate this improved BBO approach performs better in solving these complicated protein prediction problems.
