Brain storm optimization (BSO) is a newly proposed population-based optimization algorithm, which uses a logarithmic sigmoid transfer function to adjust its search range during the convergent process. However, this adjustment only varies with the current iteration number and lacks of flexibility and variety which makes a poor search effciency and robustness of BSO. To alleviate this problem, an adaptive step length structure together with a success memory selection strategy is proposed to be incorporated into BSO. This proposed method, adaptive step length based on memory selection BSO, namely ASBSO, applies multiple step lengths to modify the generation process of new solutions, thus supplying a flexible search according to corresponding problems and convergent periods. The novel memory mechanism, which is capable of evaluating and storing the degree of improvements of solutions, is used to determine the selection possibility of step lengths. A set of 57 benchmark functions are used to test ASBSOs search ability, and four real-world problems are adopted to show its application value. All these test results indicate the remarkable improvement in solution quality, scalability, and robustness of ASBSO.

Population-based methods are often used to solve multimodal optimization problems. By combining niching or clustering strategy, the state-of-the-art approaches generally divide the population into several subpopulations to find multiple solutions for
a problem at hand. However, these methods only guided by the fitness value during iterations, which are suffering from determining the number of subpopulations, i.e., the number of niche areas or clusters. To compensate for this drawback, this paper presents an Attention-oriented Brain Storm Optimization (ABSO) method that introduces the attention mechanism into a relatively new swarm intelligence algorithm, i.e., Brain Storm Optimization (BSO). By converting the objective space from the fitness space into attention space, the individuals are clustered and updated iteratively according to their salient values. Rather than converge to a single global optimum, the proposed method can guide the search procedure to converge to multiple salient solutions. The preliminary results show that the proposed method can locate multiple global and local optimal solutions of several multimodal benchmark functions. The proposed method needs less prior knowledge of the problem and can automatically converge to multiple optimums guided by the attention mechanism, which has excellent potential for further development.
Swarm intelligence optimization algorithms can be adopted in swarm robotics for target searching tasks in a 2-D or 3-D space by treating the target signal strength as fitness values. Many current works in the literature have achieved good performance
in single-target search problems. However, when there are multiple targets in an environment to be searched, many swarm intelligence-based methods may converge to specific locations prematurely, making it impossible to explore the environment further. The Brain Storm Optimization (BSO) algorithm imitates a group of humans in solving problems collectively. A series of guided searches can finally obtain a relatively optimal solution for particular optimization problems. Furthermore, with a suitable clustering operation, it has better multi-modal optimization performance, i.e., it can find multiple optima in the objective space. By matching the members in a robotic swarm to the individuals in the algorithm under both environments and robots constraints, this paper proposes a BSO-based collaborative searching framework for swarm robotics called Robotic BSO. The simulation results show that the proposed method can simulate the BSOs guided search characteristics and has an excellent prospect for multi-target searching problems for swarm robotics.
Subset selection is an important component in evolutionary multiobjective optimization (EMO) algorithms. Clustering, as a classic method to group similar data points together, has been used for subset selection in some fields. However, clustering-bas
ed methods have not been evaluated in the context of subset selection from solution sets obtained by EMO algorithms. In this paper, we first review some classic clustering algorithms. We also point out that another popular subset selection method, i.e., inverted generational distance (IGD)-based subset selection, can be viewed as clustering. Then, we perform a comprehensive experimental study to evaluate the performance of various clustering algorithms in different scenarios. Experimental results are analyzed in detail, and some suggestions about the use of clustering algorithms for subset selection are derived. Additionally, we demonstrate that decision makers preference can be introduced to clustering-based subset selection.
Coordinated motion control in swarm robotics aims to ensure the coherence of members in space, i.e., the robots in a swarm perform coordinated movements to maintain spatial structures. This problem can be modeled as a tracking control problem, in whi
ch individuals in the swarm follow a target position with the consideration of specific relative distance or orientations. To keep the communication cost low, the PID controller can be utilized to achieve the leader-follower tracking control task without the information of leader velocities. However, the controllers parameters need to be optimized to adapt to situations changing, such as the different swarm population, the changing of the target to be followed, and the anti-collision demands, etc. In this letter, we apply a modified Brain Storm Optimization (BSO) algorithm to an incremental PID tracking controller to get the relatively optimal parameters adaptively for leader-follower formation control for swarm robotics. Simulation results show that the proposed method could reach the optimal parameters during robot movements. The flexibility and scalability are also validated, which ensures that the proposed method can adapt to different situations and be a good candidate for coordinated motion control for swarm robotics in more realistic scenarios.
By producing summaries for long-running events, timeline summarization (TLS) underpins many information retrieval tasks. Successful TLS requires identifying an appropriate set of key dates (the timeline length) to cover. However, doing so is challeng
ing as the right length can change from one topic to another. Existing TLS solutions either rely on an event-agnostic fixed length or an expert-supplied setting. Neither of the strategies is desired for real-life TLS scenarios. A fixed, event-agnostic setting ignores the diversity of events and their development and hence can lead to low-quality TLS. Relying on expert-crafted settings is neither scalable nor sustainable for processing many dynamically changing events. This paper presents a better TLS approach for automatically and dynamically determining the TLS timeline length. We achieve this by employing the established elbow method from the machine learning community to automatically find the minimum number of dates within the time series to generate concise and informative summaries. We applied our approach to four TLS datasets of English and Chinese and compared them against three prior methods. Experimental results show that our approach delivers comparable or even better summaries over state-of-art TLS methods, but it achieves this without expert involvement.
