摘要
En 中文
The firefly algorithm is a nature-inspired metaheuristic optimization algorithm that has become an important tool for solving most of the toughest optimization problems in almost all areas of global optimization and engineering practices. However, as with other metaheuristic algorithms, the performance of the firefly algorithm depends on adequate parameter tuning. In addition, its diversification as a global metaheuristic can lead to reduced speed, as well as an associated decrease in the rate of convergence when applied to solve problems with large number of variables such as data clustering problems. Clustering is an unsupervised data analysis technique used for identifying homogeneous groups of objects based on the values of their attributes. To mitigate the aforementioned drawbacks, an improved firefly algorithm is hybridized with the well-known particle swarm optimization algorithm to solve automatic data clustering problems. To investigate the performance of the proposed hybrid algorithm, it is compared with four popular metaheuristic methods from literature using twelve standard datasets from the UCI Machine Learning Repository and the two moons dataset. The extensive computational experiments and results analysis carried out shows that the proposed algorithm not only achieves superior performance over the standard firefly and particle swarm optimization algorithms, but also exhibits high level of stability and can be efficiently utilized to solve other clustering problems with high dimensionality.
