As one of the important artificial intelligence fields, brain-like computing attempts to give machines a higher intelligence level by studying and simulating the cognitive principles of the human brain. Compared with the traditional neural network, the spiking neural network (SNN) has better biogenesis and stronger computing power. In this paper, an SNN learning model based on an evolutionary membrane algorithm is proposed to solve the problem of supervised classification. The proposed algorithm uses the P system's object, reaction rules, and membrane structure to solve these problems. Specifically, the proposed algorithm can automatically adjust the learning parameters of the network by adjusting the synaptic weight in the learning stage of the spiking neural model according to different application data, providing a better solution model for balance exploration and exploitation. In the simulation experiment, effectiveness verification research is carried out. The simulation results show that compared with other experimental algorithms, the proposed algorithm has a competitive advantage in solving twelve supervised classification benchmark problems through learning curves and quantified classification results.INDEX TERMS evolutionary membrane algorithm, P systems, spiking neural network, supervised classification.
Multimodal multiobjective problems (MMOPs) exist in scientific research and practical projects, and their Pareto solution sets correspond to the same Pareto front. Existing evolutionary algorithms often fall into local optima when solving such problems, which usually leads to insufficient search solutions and their uneven distribution in the Pareto front. In this work, an improved membrane algorithm is proposed for solving MMOPs, which is based on the framework of P system. More specifically, the proposed algorithm employs three elements from P system: object, reaction rule, and membrane structure. The object is implemented by real number coding and represents a candidate solution to the optimization problem to be solved. The function of the reaction rule of the proposed algorithm is similar to the evolution operation of the evolutionary algorithm. It can evolve the object to obtain a better candidate solution set. The membrane structure is the evolutionary logic of the proposed algorithm. It consists of several membranes, each of which is an independent evolutionary unit. This structure is used to maintain the diversity of objects, so that it provides multiple Pareto sets as output. The effectiveness verification study was carried out in simulation experiments. The simulation results show that compared with other experimental algorithms, the proposed algorithm has a competitive advantage in solving all 22 multimodal benchmark test problems in CEC2019.
