Comparative Survey of Swarm Intelligence Optimization Approaches for ANN Optimization

摘要

Swarm intelligence (SI) approaches are a group of populace-dependent, nature influenced meta-heuristic approaches that are impressed via collective intelligence of homogeneous insects, birds, etc. These algorithms simulate the behaviour of the group of homogeneous biological entities to get a global ideal solution in optimization problems, where classical optimization algorithms may fail. Examples consist of a flock of birds, colonies of bees, colonies of ants, school of fish, etc. This paper presents a comparative study of different swarm intelligence approaches: particles swarm optimization (PSO) algorithm, intelligent water drop (IWD) approach, artificial bee colony (ABC) algorithm and ant colony optimization (ACO) algorithm for the optimization of single-layer neural networks.
