<span lang="EN-US">A novel metaheuristic optimization algorithm based on cuckoo search (CSA) is presented to solve the construction site layout planning problem (CSLP). CSLP a complex with various applications, such as plant layout, and computer chip layout. Many researchers have investigated by applying many algorithms in an exact or heuristic approach. Although both methods yield promis...

Precedence constrained sequencing problem (PCSP) is related to locate the optimal sequence with the shortest traveling time among all feasible sequences. In PCSP, precedence relations determine sequence of traveling between any two nodes. Various methods and algorithms for effectively solving the PCSP have been suggested. In this paper we propose a cuckoo search algorithm (CSA) for effectively ...

Training neural networks is a complex task that is important for supervised learning. A few metaheuristic optimization techniques have been applied to increase the effectiveness of the training process. The Cuckoo Search (CS) algorithm is a recently developed meta-heuristic optimization algorithm which is suitable for solving optimization problems. In this paper, Cuckoo search is implemented in...

Among most machine learning algorithms for optimization problem including meta-heuristic search algorithms, the solution is drawn like a moth to a flame and cannot keep away. The track of chaotic variable can travel ergodically over the whole search space. In general, the chaotic variable has special characters, i.e., ergodicity, pseudo-randomness and irregularity. To enrich the searching behav...

Disease forecasting using soft computing techniques is major area of research in data mining in recent years. To classify heart and diabetes diseases, this paper proposes a diagnosis system using cuckoo search optimized rough sets based attribute reduction and fuzzy logic system. The disease prediction is done as per the following steps 1) feature reduction using cuckoo search with rough set th...

The Graph Coloring Problem (GCP) is one of the most interesting, studied, and difficult combinatorial optimization problems. That is why several approaches were developed for solving this problem, including exact approaches, heuristic approaches, metaheuristics, and hybrid approaches. This paper tries to solve the graph coloring problem using a discrete binary version of cuckoo search algorithm...

Economic Load Dispatch problem (ELD) is one of the most important optimization problems in power system operation and planning. This paper introduces a solution to ELD problem using a new metaheuristic natureinspired algorithm called Cuckoo Search Algorithm (CSA). The proposed approach has been applied to various systems. This algorithm is based on the obligate brood parasitic behavior of some ...
