Glowworm Swarm Optimization (GSO) algorithm is a derivative-free, meta-heuristic algorithm and mimicking the glow behavior of glowworms which can efficiently capture all the maximum multimodal function. Nevertheless, there are several weaknesses to locate the global optimum solution for instance low calculation accuracy, simply falling into the local optimum, convergence rate of success and slow speed to converge. This paper reviews the exposition of a new method of swarm intelligence in solving optimization problems using GSO. Recently the GSO algorithm was used simultaneously to find solutions of multimodal function optimization problem in various fields in today industry such as science, engineering, network and robotic. From the paper review, we could conclude that the basic GSO algorithm, GSO with modification or improvement and GSO with hybridization are considered by previous researchers in order to solve the optimization problem. However, based on the literature review, many researchers applied basic GSO algorithm in their research rather than others.
Extreme Learning Machine (ELM) algorithm assigns the input weights and biases in a “one-time stamp” fashion, this method makes the algorithm to be ill-conditioned and reduces its classification accuracy. The contribution of this work is the enhancement of the performance of ELM with the Moth-Flame Optimization (MFO) algorithm to improve classification accuracy. A hybrid of the Moth-Flame Optimization and Extreme Learning Machine (MFO-ELM) algorithm is implemented in MATLAB. MFO ensures a concurrent simulation of exploration and exploitation of the search space to select an optimum candidate solution. The candidate solution is reshaped into input weights and biases for ELM classification. The hybrid algorithm is validated on five life-selected datasets. The performance improvement of MFO-ELM is compared with ELM-optimized Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO-ELM) and Competitive Swarm Optimization (CSO-ELM) algorithms. The improvement rates are qualitatively and quantitatively evaluated to show the improvement of MFO-ELM on ELM and the other meta-heuristic algorithms. MFO-ELM improved the accuracies of the basic ELM in all 100% of the simulations and performed better than the other meta-heuristic algorithms in 80% of the simulations. The performance of MFO-ELM is more competitive, and it is recommended for solving classification problems.
Microarray technology is a system that enable experts to examine gene profile at molecular level for early disease detection. Machine learning algorithms such as classification are used in detection of dieses from data generated by microarray. It increases the potentials of classification and diagnosis of many diseases such as cancer at gene expression level. Though, numerous difficulties may affect the performance of machine learning algorithms which includes vast number of genes features comprised in the original data. Many of these features may be unrelated to the intended analysis. Therefore, feature selection is necessary to be performed in the data preprocessing. Many feature selection algorithms are developed and applied on microarray which including the metaheuristic optimization algorithms. This paper proposed a new technique for feature selection and classification of breast cancer based on Flower Pollination algorithm (FPA) and Support Vector machine (SVM) using microarray data. The result for this research reveals that FPA-SVM is promising by outperforming the state of the earth Particle Swam Optimization algorithm with 80.11% accuracy.
Breast cancer is the leading cause of death among women in the world and early detection can increase the chance of survival for the patients. However, expert system and machine learning diagnosis are burdened with the presence of irrelevant data and noise which can reduce the accuracy of prediction and increase computational time. In this paper, Fuzzy Principle Component Analysis (FPCA) and Support Vector Machines (SVM) are proposed for the classification of breast cancer dataset. Experimental results on public breast cancer dataset show that the proposed method FPCA-SVM outperformed the benchmark models in terms of accuracy, specificity, and sensitivity and AUC value. The proposed model can assist doctors and medical practitioners for an early detection of breast cancer.
