Summary: A novel meta-heuristic swarm intelligence algorithm, Preaching Optimization Algorithm, is proposed in this paper to address the issues of low accuracy and premature convergence. By improving the convergence accuracy through enhancing the initial range of offspring individuals and introducing a combined weight to enhance diversity, the algorithm shows strong competitiveness in solving optimization problems. Evaluation on CEC'17 benchmark functions demonstrates its accuracy and robustness, while its excellent optimization performance is further verified in engineering and image threshold segmentation applications.

Summary: In this study, a combination of firefly algorithm (FA) and butterfly optimization algorithm (BOA) was used with adaptive neuro-fuzzy inference system (ANFIS) and group method of data handling (GMDH) models for optimal prediction of sediment volumetric concentration (Cv) in sewer systems. The integration of FA and BOA significantly improved the performance of ANFIS in modeling the process of Cv prediction, while slightly optimizing the performance of GMDH.

Summary: This paper presents a novel swarm-based metaheuristic algorithm called beluga whale optimization (BWO), which is inspired by the behaviors of beluga whales, for solving optimization problems. BWO consists of three phases: exploration, exploitation, and whale fall, corresponding to pair swim, prey, and whale fall behaviors, respectively. The self-adaptive balance factor and probability of whale fall in BWO play significant roles in controlling the exploration and exploitation capabilities. Additionally, Levy flight is introduced to enhance the global convergence in the exploitation phase. The effectiveness of BWO is evaluated using 30 benchmark functions and compared with 15 other metaheuristic algorithms through qualitative, quantitative, and scalability analysis. The results show that BWO is a competitive algorithm for solving unimodal and multimodal optimization problems. Furthermore, BWO achieves the first overall rank in the scalability analysis of benchmark functions among the compared metaheuristic algorithms. Four engineering problems are also solved to demonstrate the merits and potential of BWO in solving complex real-world optimization problems. The source code of BWO is publicly available.
