Geometric-inspired Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) for Classification Tasks. International Journal of Computer Applications. 183, 53 ( Feb 2022), 32-40. DOI=10.5120/ijca2022921954
The ultimate performance of particle swarm optimization is influenced by hyper-parameters like the inertia, cognitive and social coefficient values. These hyper-parameters have a significant effect on search capability of the particle swarm optimization. When looking at previous studies that are carried out to calculate these coefficients, none of these studies has been inspired by geometric techniques to illustrate for the influence of these components on best position realization. In this, article a geometric approach to how the allocation of social, cognitive and inertia regions on a search space enables particles to move to their best positions at every iteration time. In experiment and benchmark tests, the study validates the applicability of the proposed approach to classification problem using EMNIST dataset. The modified PSO approach gives successful results in separating data into appropriate classes which confirms that the proposed method is highly competitive in guiding the directional movement of the particles towards the best positions.
