Swarm Intelligence Optimization : Editorial Survey

This paper surveys the intersection of two fascinating and increasingly popular domains: swarm intelligence and optimization. Whereas optimization has been popular academic topic for decades, swarm intelligence is relatively new subfield of artificial intelligence which studies the emergent collective intelligence of groups of simple agents. It is based on social behavior that can be observed i...

Swarm Intelligence in Data Mining

Swarm behavior can be seen in bird flocks, fish schools, as well as in insects like mosquitoes and midges. Many animal groups such as fish schools and bird flocks clearly display structural order, with the behavior of the organisms so integrated that even though they may change shape and direction, they appear to move as a single coherent entity [11]. The main principles of the collective behav...

Swarm Intelligence in Educational Data Mining

This paper explores the potential intersection of two fascinating and increasingly burgeoning fields: Swarm Intelligence and Educational Data Mining. A thorough review of the existing works in both fields has revealed a lack of Swarm Intelligence applications in Educational Data Mining, despite its successful applications in other data mining domain. Consequently, this paper launches the inters...

GPU-Accelerated Data Mining with Swarm Intelligence

Swarm intelligence describes the ability of groups of social animals and insects to exhibit highly organized and complex problem-solving behaviors that allow the group as a whole to accomplish tasks which are beyond the capabilities of any one of the constituent individuals. This natural phenomenon is the inspiration for swarm intelligence systems, a class of algorithms that utilizes the emerge...
