A Taguchi particle swarm optimization (TPSO) with a three-layer feedforward artificial neural network (ANN) is used to model and optimize the chemical composition of a steel bar. The novel contribution of a TPSO is the use of a Taguchi method mechanism to exploit better solutions in the search space through iterations, the use of the conventional non-linear PSO to increase convergence speed, and the use of random movement for particle diversity. The exploration and exploitation capability of the TPSO were confirmed by performance comparisons with other PSO-based algorithms in solving high-dimensional global numerical optimization problems. Experiments in this paper showed that the TPSO provides higher computational efficiency and higher robustness when solving problems involving seven non-linear benchmark functions, including three unimodal functions, one multimodal functions, two rotated functions, and one shifted functions. The results for the computational experiments show that the TPSO outperforms other PSO-based algorithms reported in the literature. Finally, the results obtained by a TPSO-based ANN model of the chemical composition of the steel bar were consistent with the actual data. That is, the proposed TPSO with three-layer feedforward ANN can be used in practical applications.
