  1. Particle Swarm optimization

  2. Cooperation example

  3. Outline • Basic Idea of PSO • Neighborhood topologies • Velocity and position Update rules • Choice of parameter value • Applications

  4. The basic idea • Each particle is searching for the optimum • Each particle is moving and hence has a velocity. • Each particle remembers the position it was in where it had its best result so far (its personal best) • But this would not be much good on its own; particles need help in figuring out where to search.

  5. The basic idea II • The particles in the swarm co-operate. They exchange information about what they’ve discovered in the places they have visited • The co-operation is very simple. In basic PSO it is like this: • A particle has a neighbourhood associated with it. • A particle knows the fitnesses of those in its neighbourhood, and uses the position of the one with best fitness. • This position is simply used to adjust the particle’s velocity

  6. Initialization. Positions and velocities

  7. What a particle does • In each timestep, a particle has to move to a new position. It does this by adjusting its velocity. • The adjustment is essentially this: • The current velocity PLUS • A weighted random portion in the direction of its personal best PLUS • A weighted random portion in the direction of the neighbourhood best. • Having worked out a new velocity, its position is simply its old position plus the new velocity.

  8. Neighbourhoods geographical social

  9. Neighbourhoods Global

  10. Particles Adjust their positions according to a ``Psychosocial compromise’’ between what an individual is comfortable with, and what society reckons My best perf. pi Here I am! The best perf. of my neighbours x pg v

  12. PSO with global best (gbest) model

  13. PSO with local best (lbest) model

  14. Velocity clamping

  15. Animated illustration Global optimum

  16. Parameters • Inertia weight W • Number of particles • C1 (importance of personal best) • C2 (importance of neighbourhood best) • Neighborhood size for lbest model

  17. The right way This way Or this way How to choose parameters

  18. Parameters • Number of particles (5—30) are reported as usually sufficient. • C1 (importance of personal best) • C2 (importance of neighbourhood best) • Usually C1+C2 = 4. • Vmax – too low, too slow; too high, too unstable. • Neighborbood: 2-3, or probability; p=1-pow(1-1/(size),3);

  19. Rastrigin Griewank Rosenbrock Some functions often used for testing real-valued optimisation algorithms

  20. ... and some typical results Optimum=0, dimension=30 Best result after 40 000 evaluations

  21. Adaptive swarm size I try to kill myself There has been enough improvement although I'm the worst I try to generate a new particle I'm the best but there has been not enough improvement

  22. Adaptive coefficients rand(0…b)(p-x) av The better I am, the more I follow my own way The better is my best neighbour, the more I tend to go towards him
