CodeChef is a global competitive programming platform, started as an educational initiative in the year 2009. It hosts four featured contests every month (Long Challenge, CookOff, LunchTime, and ...

Feature selection (FS) is a significant dimensionality reduction technique, which can effectively remove redundant features. Metaheuristic algorithms have been widely employed in FS, and have obtained ...

Dynamic Programming is a decision-making technique that involves breaking down complex problems into smaller, more manageable subproblems to find the optimal solution. By optimizing decisions at each ...

Inspired by natural behaviours, the field of evolutionary computation (EC) has produced a multitude of pivotal metaheuristic algorithms over its rich history. Among them are such classical methods as ...

Genetic algorithms are a type of evolutionary algorithm that can evolve "solutions" to specific problems. They implement survival of the fittest, mutation, and parenting... They can solve problems ...

Abstract: Nature-inspired metaheuristic optimization algorithms, e.g., the butterfly optimization algorithm (BOA), have become increasingly popular. The BOA, which adapts the food foraging and social ...

Butterfly Optimization Algorithm (BOA) is a recent metaheuristics algorithm that mimics the behavior of butterflies in mating and foraging. In this paper, three improved versions of BOA have been ...

Collisionless space plasma environments are typically characterized by distinct particle populations. Although moments of their velocity distribution functions help in distinguishing different plasma ...

Abstract: In this research, X-ray and MRI images of patients suffering from cervical hyperextension injury are investigated. Also, radiographic images are collected from patients who suffered from ...
