Genetic Algorithms are the population based search and optimization technique that mimic the process of natural evolution. Genetic algorithms are very effective way of finding a very effective way of quickly finding a reasonable solution to a complex problem. Performance of genetic algorithms mainly depends on type of genetic operators which involve crossover and mutation operators. Different crossover and mutation operators exist to solve the problem that involves large population size. Example of such a problem is travelling sales man problem, which is having a large set of solution. In this paper we will discuss different crossover operators that help in solving the problem.
Abnormal Cardiac beat identification is a key process in the detection of heart ailments. This work proposes a technique for the detection of Bundle Branch Block (BBB) using hybrid Firefly and Particle Swarm Optimization (FFPSO) technique in combination with Levenberg Marquardt Neural Network (LMNN) classifier. BBB is developed when there is a block along the electrical impulses travel to make heart to beat. ECG feature extraction is a key process in detecting heart ailments. Our present study comes up with a hybrid method combining the two meta-heuristic optimization methods, Firefly algorithm (FFA) and Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO), for feature optimization of ECG (BBB and normal) patterns. One of the major controlling forces is the light intensity attraction of FFA algorithm that models the optimum solution. The light intensity attraction process of the FFA algorithm depends on random directions for search, this may delay in achieving the global optimization solution. The hybrid technique FFPSO, integrates the concepts from FF algorithm and PSO and creates new individuals. In the FFPSO method the local search is performed through the modified light intensity attraction step with PSO operator. The FFPSO features are compared with the classical FF, PSO features. The FFPSO feature values are given as the input to the Levenberg Marquardt Neural Network (LM NN) classifier. It has been observed that the performance of the classifier is improved with the help of the optimized features.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
