The Graph Coloring Problem (GCP) is one of the most interesting, studied, and difficult combinatorial optimization problems. That is why several approaches were developed for solving this problem, including exact approaches, heuristic approaches, metaheuristics, and hybrid approaches. This paper tries to solve the graph coloring problem using a discrete binary version of cuckoo search algorithm...

In this paper a new efficient approach to solving the balanced connected partitioning is presented. The graph partitioning problem has been used in many areas of computer science like LSI design; electrical power networks (EPNs) and ect. The problem aims to obtaining sub graphs of a graph which include balance connected vertices. The proposed solution is based on Cuckoo Optimization Algorithm (...

Training neural networks is a complex task that is important for supervised learning. A few metaheuristic optimization techniques have been applied to increase the effectiveness of the training process. The Cuckoo Search (CS) algorithm is a recently developed meta-heuristic optimization algorithm which is suitable for solving optimization problems. In this paper, Cuckoo search is implemented in...

Artificial Neural Networks (ANN) techniques, mostly Back-Propagation Neural Network (BPNN) algorithm has been used as a tool for recognizing a mapping function among a known set of input and output examples. These networks can be trained with gradient descent back propagation. The algorithm is not definite in finding the global minimum of the error function since gradient descent may get stuck ...

Optimal power flow is the most complicated economical problem in power system operation. This is due to the nonlinearity of load flow equations and constraints on voltage, thermal limits and angle and voltage stability. The objective of this problem is to distribute system loads among generators with minimum cost while achieving all equality and inequality constraints. Nowadays, meta heuristic ...

Software testing is a very important phase in the development of software. Testing includes the generation of test cases which, if done manually, is time consuming. To automate this process and generate optimal test cases, several meta-heuristic techniques have been developed. These approaches include genetic algorithm, cuckoo search, tabu search, intelligent water drop, etc. This paper present...

Disease forecasting using soft computing techniques is major area of research in data mining in recent years. To classify heart and diabetes diseases, this paper proposes a diagnosis system using cuckoo search optimized rough sets based attribute reduction and fuzzy logic system. The disease prediction is done as per the following steps 1) feature reduction using cuckoo search with rough set th...

Clustering of web search result document has emerged as a promising tool for improving retrieval performance of an Information Retrieval (IR) system. Search results often plagued by problems like synonymy, polysemy, high volume etc. Clustering other than resolving these problems also provides the user the easiness to locate his/her desired information. In this paper, a method, called WSRDC-CSCC...
