It simulates the search, predation, and parasitic behavior observed in cichlids. Early iterations of the algorithm focus on executing a multidimensional enveloping search strategy and a compressed space strategy, combined with an auxiliary search strategy to efectively limit the escape space of cichlids. This phase ensures extensive exploration of the solution space. In the intermediate stage of iteration, the algorithm uses a transition strategy to promote a smooth transition from exploration to exploitation, endowing the algorithm with both a certain degree of exploration capability and exploitation capability. In later stages, the algorithm uses chaotic predation mechanisms to create disturbances around cichlids to improve the exploitation of optimal solutions. Throughout the entire optimization process, the guidance, parasitism, and death mechanisms of individuals are integrated, allowing individuals to adjust their positions in real-time and improve the overall convergence accuracy. This paper rigorously evaluates the performance of CCO through 23 classic test functions and three CEC test suites. The experimental results show that compared with 11 famous algorithms and 10 novel improved algorithms, CCO can obtain the optimal solution in 91.52% of the test functions, demonstrating its excellent ability in solving various numerical optimization problems.

Consequently, in the last years, there has been a rapid increase in research about eXplainable Artificial Intelligence, whose objective consists of improving their transparency. In scientific applications, explainability assumes a different flavour and cannot be reduced to pure user understanding but there is a premium also on <i>fidelity</i>, on developing models that reflect the actual mechanisms at play in the investigated phenomena. To this end, Genetic Programming supported Symbolic Regression (GPSR), conceived explicitly to manipulate symbols, can present various competitive advantages in finding a good trade-off between interpretability and realism. However, the search spaces are typically too large and the algorithms have to be steered to converge on the desired solutions. The present work describes techniques to constrain GPSR and to combine it with deep learning tools, so that the final models are expressed in terms of interpretable and realistic mathematical equations. The strategies to guide convergence include dimensional analysis, integration of prior information about symmetries and conservation laws, refinements of the fitness function and robust statistics. The performances are improved according to all the main metrics: accuracy, robustness against noise and outliers, capability of handling data sparsity and interpretability. Great attention has been paid to introducing practical solutions, covering most essential aspects of the data analysis process, from the treatment of the uncertainties to the quantification of the equations’ complexity. All the main applications of supervised ML, from regression to classification, are considered (and the extension to unsupervised and reinforcement learning are not expected to pose major difficulties).

XAI applications are popular in various domains, including ecology, engineering, geology, remote sensing, water resources, meteorology, atmospheric sciences, geochemistry, and geophysics. XAI applications focused primarily on understanding and predicting anthropogenic changes in geospatial patterns and impacts on human society and natural resources, especially biological species distributions, vegetation, air quality, transportation, and climate-water related topics, including risk and management. Among XAI methods, the SHAP and Shapley methods were the most popular (135 articles), followed by feature importance (27), partial dependence plots (22), LIME (21), and saliency maps (15). Although XAI methods are often argued to increase trust in model predictions, only seven studies (1.2%) addressed trustworthiness as a core research objective. This gap is critical because understanding the relationship between explainability and trust is lacking. While XAI applications continue to grow, they do not necessarily enhance trust. Hence, more studies on how to strengthen trust in AI applications are critically needed.

The Broad Learning System (BLS) has attracted considerable attention for its competitive classification performance and computational efficiency. However, its reliance on randomly initialized parameters and lack of iterative updates often lead to performance instability. Directly applying backpropagation to refine these parameters may further result in overfitting. To address these limitations, this research propose a novel framework called the Discriminative Projective Dictionary Pair-based Broad Metric Learning System (D-BMLS). The foundation of this system is the Broad Metric Learning System (BMLS), which integrates a metric subsystem that employs iterative learning to reduce sensitivity to random initialization while leveraging the structural advantages of metric learning to suppress overfitting. Although this improves robustness, it can also introduce computational overhead and still struggle with nonlinear data modeling due to the dual-mapping structure of BLS. To overcome these challenges, D-BMLS incorporates Discriminative Projective Dictionary Pair Learning, which encodes input data into a low-dimensional, linearly separable space. This reduces the number of learnable parameters and enhances the model’s capacity to capture nonlinear relationships through linear transformations. Extensive experiments on five different tasks including image classification, signal recognition, and high-dimensional feature analysis demonstrate the superior performance of D-BMLS. Ablation studies on three benchmark datasets verify the contributions of each component, and results on a synthetic dataset highlight the metric subsystem’s effectiveness in mitigating overfitting.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":8449,"journal":{"name":"Artificial Intelligence Review","volume":"58 10","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":13.9,"publicationDate":"2025-07-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://link.springer.com/content/pdf/10.1007/s10462-025-11324-5.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145144172","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"计算机科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
