Therefore, feature selection becomes an essential preprocessing stage, aimed at reducing the dimensionality of the dataset by selecting the most informative features while improving classification accuracy. This paper proposes a novel binary Gray Wolf Optimization algorithm to address the feature selection problem in classification tasks. Firstly, the historical optimal position of the search agent helps explore more promising areas. Therefore, by linearly combining the best positions of the search agents, the algorithm's exploration capability is increased, thus enhancing its global development ability. Secondly, the novel quadratic interpolation technique, which integrates population diversity with local exploitation, helps improve both the diversity of the population and the convergence accuracy. Thirdly, chaotic perturbations (small random fluctuations) applied to the convergence factor during the exploration phase further help avoid premature convergence and promote exploration of the search space. Finally, a novel transfer function processes feature information differently at various stages, enabling the algorithm to search and optimize effectively in the binary space, thereby selecting the optimal feature subset. The proposed method employs a k-nearest neighbor classifier and evaluates performance through 10-fold cross-validation across 32 datasets. Experimental results, compared with other advanced algorithms, demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed algorithm.","PeriodicalId":8907,"journal":{"name":"Biomimetics","volume":"9 10","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.4,"publicationDate":"2024-10-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11505495/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142494117","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The main concept of UAV path planning is to find the optimal flight path while avoiding collisions. This paper transforms the path planning problem into a multi-constraint optimization problem by considering three costs: path length, turning angle, and collision avoidance. A multi-strategy improved POA algorithm (IPOA) is proposed to address this. Specifically, by incorporating the iterative chaotic mapping method with refracted reverse learning strategy, nonlinear inertia weight factors, the Levy flight mechanism, and adaptive t-distribution variation, the convergence accuracy and speed of the POA algorithm are enhanced. In the CEC2022 test functions, IPOA outperformed other algorithms in 69.4% of cases. In the real map simulation experiment, compared to POA, the path length, turning angle, distance to obstacles, and flight time improved by 8.44%, 5.82%, 4.07%, and 9.36%, respectively.

However, most of the existing SNNs require a separate preprocessing step to convert the real-valued input into spikes that are then input to the network for processing. The dissected spike-coding process may result in information loss, leading to degenerated performance. However, the biological neuron system does not perform a separate preprocessing step. Moreover, the nervous system may not have a single pathway with which to respond and process external stimuli but allows multiple circuits to perceive the same stimulus. Inspired by these advantageous aspects of the biological neural system, we propose a self-adaptive encoding spike neural network with parallel architecture. The proposed network integrates the input-encoding process into the spiking neural network architecture via convolutional operations such that the network can accept the real-valued input and automatically transform it into spikes for further processing. Meanwhile, the proposed network contains two identical parallel branches, inspired by the biological nervous system that processes information in both serial and parallel. The experimental results on multiple image classification tasks reveal that the proposed network can obtain competitive performance, suggesting the effectiveness of the proposed architecture.","PeriodicalId":8907,"journal":{"name":"Biomimetics","volume":"9 10","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.4,"publicationDate":"2024-10-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11506793/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142494106","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Four algorithms-grey wolf optimizer (GWO), particle swarm optimization (PSO), squirrel search algorithm (SSA), and cuckoo search (CS)-were evaluated, with the dataset augmented by perturbations to simulate shading. The standard ANN performed poorly, with 64 neurons in Layer 1 and 32 in Layer 2 (MSE of 159.9437, MAE of 8.0781). Among the optimized approaches, GWO, with 66 neurons in Layer 1 and 100 in Layer 2, achieved the best prediction accuracy (MSE of 11.9487, MAE of 2.4552) and was computationally efficient (execution time of 1198.99 s). PSO, using 98 neurons in Layer 1 and 100 in Layer 2, minimized MAE (2.1679) but had a slightly longer execution time (1417.80 s). SSA, with the same neuron count as GWO, also performed well (MSE 12.1500, MAE 2.7003) and was the fastest (987.45 s). CS, with 84 neurons in Layer 1 and 74 in Layer 2, was less reliable (MSE 33.7767, MAE 3.8547) and slower (1904.01 s). GWO proved to be the best overall, balancing accuracy and speed. Future real-world applications of this methodology include improving energy efficiency in solar farms under variable weather conditions and optimizing the performance of residential solar panels to reduce energy costs. Further optimization developments could address more complex and larger-scale datasets in real-time, such as integrating renewable energy sources into smart grid systems for better energy distribution.","PeriodicalId":8907,"journal":{"name":"Biomimetics","volume":"9 10","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.4,"publicationDate":"2024-10-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11505836/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142494147","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this study, we introduce a universal antireflective film by integrating nanostructures on both sides of a thin polycarbonate film. One side was thinly coated with Al2O3 for its high hardness, enhancing surface durability while maintaining flexibility. The opposite side was coated with SiO2 to optimize antireflective properties, making the film suitable for diverse environments (i.e., air, water, and adhesives). This dual-coating strategy resulted in a mechanically robust and flexible antireflective film with superior optical properties in various conditions.

The first phase employs a population-based search algorithm to locate potential optima, while the second phase introduces a novel peak identification (PI) procedure to filter out non-optimal solutions, ensuring that each identified solution represents a distinct optimum. This approach not only enhances the effectiveness of multimodal optimization but also addresses the issue of redundant solutions prevalent in existing algorithms. We propose two PI algorithms: HVPI, which uses a hill-valley approach to distinguish between optima, without requiring prior knowledge of niche radii; and HVPIC, which integrates HVPI with bisecting K-means clustering to reduce the number of fitness evaluations (FEs). The performance of these algorithms was evaluated using the F-measure, a comprehensive metric that accounts for both the accuracy and redundancy in the solution set. Extensive experiments on a suite of benchmark functions and engineering problems demonstrated that our proposed algorithms achieved a high precision and recall, significantly outperforming traditional methods.","PeriodicalId":8907,"journal":{"name":"Biomimetics","volume":"9 10","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.4,"publicationDate":"2024-10-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11505590/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142494146","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The original version of the Bees Algorithm has six user-selected parameters: the number of scout bees, the number of high-performing bees, the number of top-performing or \"elite\" bees, the number of forager bees following the elite bees, the number of forager bees recruited by the other high-performing bees, and the neighbourhood size. These parameters must be chosen with due care, as their values can impact the algorithm's performance, particularly when the problem is complex. However, determining the optimum values for those parameters can be time-consuming for users who are not familiar with the algorithm. This paper presents BA1, a Bees Algorithm with just one parameter. BA1 eliminates the need to specify the numbers of high-performing and elite bees and other associated parameters. Instead, it uses incremental k-means clustering to divide the scout bees into groups. By reducing the required number of parameters, BA1 simplifies the tuning process and increases efficiency. BA1 has been evaluated on 23 benchmark functions in the continuous domain, followed by 12 problems from the TSPLIB in the combinatorial domain. The results show good performance against popular nature-inspired optimisation algorithms on the problems tested.","PeriodicalId":8907,"journal":{"name":"Biomimetics","volume":"9 10","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.4,"publicationDate":"2024-10-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11505725/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142494089","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Our approach combines boundary branches with adversarial learning, to achieve multi-label segmentation of the OD and OC. We validated our proposed approach across three public available datasets: Drishti-GS, RIM-ONE-r3, and REFUGE. The outcomes reveal that the Dice coefficients for the segmentation of OD and OC within these datasets are 0.974/0.900, 0.966/0.875, and 0.962/0.880, respectively.
