Abstract
A novel human cognitive and social interaction-based metaheuristic called Imitation-based Cognitive Learning Optimizer (CLO) is proposed and developed to solve engineering optimization problems effectively. CLO is inspired by humans’ imitation and social learning behavior during the life cycle. The human life cycle consists of various stages. Social and imitating human behavior during the life cycle is incorporated into this algorithm to improve cognitive abilities. The three real-world mechanical engineering optimization problems (Welded beam problem, Tension–Compression String Design Problem, and Speed reducer problem) and 100 challenging benchmark functions including uni-modal, multi-modal and CEC-BC-2017 functions are used for the real-time validation. CLO is compared with 12 state-of-art algorithms from the literature. The experiments along with convergence analysis and Friedman’s Mean Rank (FMR) statistical test show the superiority of CLO over the other chosen algorithms.
期刊介绍:
Cognitive Systems Research is dedicated to the study of human-level cognition. As such, it welcomes papers which advance the understanding, design and applications of cognitive and intelligent systems, both natural and artificial.
The journal brings together a broad community studying cognition in its many facets in vivo and in silico, across the developmental spectrum, focusing on individual capacities or on entire architectures. It aims to foster debate and integrate ideas, concepts, constructs, theories, models and techniques from across different disciplines and different perspectives on human-level cognition. The scope of interest includes the study of cognitive capacities and architectures - both brain-inspired and non-brain-inspired - and the application of cognitive systems to real-world problems as far as it offers insights relevant for the understanding of cognition.
Cognitive Systems Research therefore welcomes mature and cutting-edge research approaching cognition from a systems-oriented perspective, both theoretical and empirically-informed, in the form of original manuscripts, short communications, opinion articles, systematic reviews, and topical survey articles from the fields of Cognitive Science (including Philosophy of Cognitive Science), Artificial Intelligence/Computer Science, Cognitive Robotics, Developmental Science, Psychology, and Neuroscience and Neuromorphic Engineering. Empirical studies will be considered if they are supplemented by theoretical analyses and contributions to theory development and/or computational modelling studies.
