We present a stochastic, swarm intelligence-based optimization algorithm for the prediction of global minima on potential energy surfaces of molecular cluster structures. Our optimization approach is a modification of the artificial bee colony (ABC) algorithm which is inspired by the foraging behavior of honey bees. We apply our modified ABC algorithm to the problem of global geometry optimizat...

Optimization of continuous synthesis of high purity carbon nanotubes (CNTs) using chemical vapour deposition (CVD) method was studied experimentally and theoretically. Iron pentacarbonyl (Fe(CO)5), acetylene (C2H...

Marriage in Honey Bees Optimization (MBO) is a new swarm-intelligence method, but existing researches concentrate more on its application in single-objective optimization. In this paper, we focus on improving the algorithm to solve the multi-objective problem and increasing its convergence speed. The proposed algorithm is named as multi-objective Particle Swarm Marriage in Honey Bees Optimizati...

Word sense disambiguation (WSD) is a problem in the field of computational linguistics given as finding the intended sense of a word (or a set of words) when it is activated within a certain context. WSD was recently addressed as a combinatorial optimization problem in which the goal is to find a sequence of senses that maximize the semantic relatedness among the target words. In this article, ...
