In data mining, clustering is one of the important issues for separation and classification with groups like unsupervised data. In this paper, an attempt has been made to improve and optimize the application of clustering heuristic methods such as Genetic, PSO algorithm, Artificial bee colony algorithm, Harmony Search algorithm and Differential Evolution on the unlabeled data of an Iranian bank...

Differential Evolution (DE) is a method of optimization used in symmetrical problems and also that are not even continuous, noisy change over time. DE optimizes problem with population candidate solutions creates new per generation combination existing rules according to discriminatory rules. The present work proposes two variations for this method. first significantly improves the termination ...

this paper proposes the exchange market algorithm (ema) to solve the combined economic and emission dispatch (ceed) problems in thermal power plants. the ema is a new, robust and efficient algorithm to exploit the global optimum point in optimization problems. existence of two seeking operators in ema provides a high ability in exploiting global optimum point. in order to show the capabilities ...

For any agency dealing with the design of the water distribution network, an economic design will be an objective. In this research, Central Force Optimization (CFO) and Differential Evolution (DE) algorithm were used to optimize Ismail Abad water Distribution network. Optimization of the network has been evaluated by developing an optimization model based on CFO and DE algorithm in MATLAB and ...

A teaching-learning-based optimization (TLBO) algorithm is a new population-based algorithm applied in some applications in the literature successfully. Moreover, a genetic algorithm (GA) is a popular tool employed widely in many disciplines of engineering. In this paper, a hybrid GA-TLBO algorithm is proposed for the capacitated three-stage supply chain network design (SCND) problem. The SCND ...
