with the explosive growth in amount of information, it is highly required to utilize tools and methods in order to search, filter and manage resources. one of the major problems in text classification relates to the high dimensional feature spaces. therefore, the main goal of text classification is to reduce the dimensionality of features space. there are many feature selection methods. however...

Design optimization of structures with discrete and continuous search spaces is a complex optimization problem with lots of local optima. Metaheuristic optimization algorithms, due to not requiring gradient information of the objective function, are efficient tools for solving these problems at a reasonable computational time. In this paper, the Doppler Effect-Mean Euclidian Distance Threshold ...

this article deals with the issues associated with developing a new design methodology for the nonlinear model-predictive control (mpc) of a chemical plant. a combination of multiple neural networks is selected and used to model a nonlinear multi-input multi-output (mimo) process with time delays.  an optimization procedure for a neural mpc algorithm based on this model is then developed. the p...

in this paper proposes a fuzzy multi-objective hybrid genetic and bee colony optimization algorithm(ga-bco) to find the optimal restoration of loads of power distribution network under fault.restoration of distribution systems is a complex combinatorial optimization problem that should beefficiently restored in reasonable time. to improve the efficiency of restoration and facilitate theactivity...

A constrained version of the Big Bang-Big Crunch algorithm for the efficient solution of the optimal reservoir operation problems is proposed in this paper. Big Bang-Big Crunch (BB-BC) algorithm is a new meta-heuristic population-based algorithm that relies on one of the theories of the evolution of universe namely, the Big Bang and Big Crunch theory. An improved formulation of the algorithm na...
