Nature-inspired optimization is an active area of research in the artificial intelligence (AI) field and has recently been adopted in hydrology for the calibration (training) of both process-based and statistical models. This study proposes an improved AI model, Augmented Artificial Ecosystem Optimization-based Multi-Layer Perceptron (AAEO-MLP), to build a monthly groundwater level (GWL) forecasting model. AAEO-MLP model is built on the novel Augmented version of Artificial Ecosystem Optimization and traditional MLP network. In AAEO, Levy -flight trajectory and Gaussian random are utilized in exploration and exploitation to improve the optimizing ability. The AAEO-MLP model is tested on two time-series (1989-2012) datasets collected at two wells in India. Various explanatory variables such as monthly cumulative precipitation, mean temperature, tidal height, and previous measurements of GWL were considered for predicting 1-month ahead of GWL. The performance of AAEO-MLP was benchmarked against 17 different models (original AEO, 3 different variants of AEO, and 13 well-known models) in terms of forecasting accuracy based on six metrics (e.g., mean absolute error, root mean square error, Kling-Gupta efficiency, normalized Nash-Sutcliffe efficiency, Pearson's correlation index, a20 index). Furthermore, convergence analysis and model stability are employed to indicate the effectiveness of AAEO-MLP. The compared results express that the AAEO-MLP is superior to other models in terms of prediction accuracy, convergence, and stability. Overall, the results depict that the AAEO is a promising approach for optimizing machine learning models (e.g., MLP) and should be explored for other hydrological forecasting applications (e.g., streamflow, rainfall) to further assess its strengths over existing methods.
