This paper presents a hybrid unsupervised clustering algorithm, referred to as the Rough Fuzzy C-Means (RFCM) algorithm and Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO). The PSO algorithm features high quality of searching in the nearoptimum. At the same time, in RFCM, the concept of lower and upper approximation can deal with uncertainty, vagueness and indiscernibility in cluster relations while the memb...

Generally, the mechanical devices come with undesirable nonlinearities. Due to these nonlinearities the frequency domain system identification process in servo system seems to be a tough task. In the paper, particle swarm optimization (PSO) algorithm based hybrid technique is proposed for the frequency domain identification of servo system. The proposed hybrid technique is the combination of ar...

This paper introduces implementation of a wavelet neural network (WNN) with learning ability on field programmable gate array (FPGA). A learning algorithm using gradient descent method is not easy to implement in an electronic circuit and has local minimum. A more suitable method is the particle swarm optimization (PSO) that is a population-based optimization algorithm. The PSO is similar to th...

Recently, dynamic pricing has been a common competitive maneuver in e-commerce. In many industries, firms adjust the product price dynamically by the current product inventory and the future demand distribution. In this paper, we used particle swarm optimization (PSO) algorithm to train neural networks, then introduced the PSO-trained neural network into e-commerce and presented a new dynamic p...

In this paper we consider the Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) algorithm [10, 7], in the class of Evolutionary Algorithms, for the solution of global optimization problems. We analyze a couple of issues aiming at improving both the effectiveness and the efficiency of PSO. In particular, first we recognize that in accordance with the results in [5, 6], the initial points configuration required ...

In this paper a novel technique for Neighbor embedding single image super resolution (SR) is proposed. Given a low-resolution image, its highresolution image is reconstructed from a set of training images, which are composed of one or more lowresolution and corresponding high-resolution image pairs. In this paper we propose a new approach to a single image super-resolution through neighbor embe...

Particle swarm optimization (PSO) method is relatively a new population-based intelligence algorithm and exhibits good performance in optimization problems. However, during the optimization process, the particles become more and more similar, and gather into the neighborhood of the best particle in the swarm, which makes the swarm prematurely converged possibly around the local solution. PSO te...

Swarm Intelligence in the form of Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) has potential applications in electric drives.
