An Improved Equilibrium Optimizer Algorithm and Its Application in LSTM Neural Network

Abstract

An improved equilibrium optimizer (EO) algorithm is proposed in this paper to address premature and slow convergence. Firstly, a highly stochastic chaotic mechanism is adopted to initialize the population for range expansion. Secondly, the capability to conduct global search to jump out of local optima is enhanced by assigning adaptive weights and setting adaptive convergence factors. In addition 25 classical benchmark functions are used to validate the algorithm. As revealed by the analysis of the accuracy, speed, and stability of convergence, the IEO algorithm proposed in this paper significantly outperforms other meta-heuristic algorithms. In practice, the distribution is asymmetric because most logging data are unlabeled. Traditional classification models have difficulty in accurately predicting the location of oil layer. In this paper, the oil layers related to oil exploration are predicted using long short-term memory (LSTM) networks. Due to the large amount of data used, however, it is difficult to adjust the parameters. For this reason, an improved equilibrium optimizer algorithm (IEO) is applied to optimize the parameters of LSTM for improved performance, while the effective IEO-LSTM is applied for oil layer prediction. As indicated by the results, the proposed model outperforms the current popular optimization algorithms including particle swarm algorithm PSO and genetic algorithm GA in terms of accuracy, absolute error, root mean square error and mean absolute error.

A Feature Selection Based on Improved Artificial Hummingbird Algorithm Using Random Opposition-Based Learning for Solving Waste Classification Problem

“…Optimization and meta-heuristic algorithms are currently two of the hottest topics in computer science due to their presence in several domains, such as feature selection problems [10][11][12], facial recognition [13,14], opinion mining [15,16], the identification of parameters in photovoltaic applications [17,18], economic load dispatch problems [19,20], bin packing problems [21,22], software cost estimations [23], traveling salesman problems [24], constrained engineering problems [25], and continuous optimization problems [26,27]. According to the no free lunch (NFL) theory [28], no algorithm can discover the optimal solution to all problems; hence, numerous optimization approaches exist in the literature. In other words, if an algorithm can determine the optimal answer for a particular problem, it will fail for other types.…”

“…LSTM mainly improves the hidden layer of RNN. LSTM network model adds a cell state to the hidden layer of RNN for long-term preservation of information [24][25][26].…”

Recent Developments in Equilibrium Optimizer Algorithm: Its Variants and Applications

“…Further, experimental results clearly highlight that proposed E 2 O method provides superior performance when compared with EO for Engineering problems. Improved Equilibrium Optimizer (IEO), a modified version of EO introduced by Lan et al in 2021 [149], uses chaotic mechanisms for population range expansion, adaptive weights, and an adaptive convergence factor to prevent becoming caught in local optima, improving the power of standard EO. Additionally, experimental results demonstrate that the suggested IEO approach for the LSTM Neural Network outperforms PSO, GWO, SOA, WOA, CSA, MPA, COA, CPA, TSA, and GA.…”
