Artificial Neural Network (ANN) has played a significant role in many areas because of its ability to solve many complex problems that mathematical methods failed to solve. However, it has some shortcomings that lead it to stop working in some cases or decrease the result accuracy. In this research the authors propose a new approach combining particle swarm optimization algorithm (PSO) and genetic algorithm (GA), to increase the classification accuracy of ANN. The proposed approach utilizes the advantages of both PSO and GA to overcome the local minima problem of ANN, which prevents ANN from improving the classification accuracy. The algorithms start with using backpropagation algorithm, then it keeps repeating applying GA followed by PSO until the optimum classification is reached. The proposed approach is domain independent and has been evaluated by applying it using nine datasets with various domains and characteristics. A comparative study has been performed between the authors' proposed approach and other previous approaches, the results show the superiority of our approach.

Performance Comparisons

This article presents the implementation of vegetation segmentation by using soft computing methods: particle swarm optimization (PSO), echostate neural network(ESNN) and genetic algorithm (GA). Multispectral image with the required band from Landsat 8 (5, 4, 3) and Landsat 7 (4, 3, 2) are used. In this paper, images from ERDAS format acquired by Landsat 7 ‘Paris.lan’ (band 4, band 3, Band 2) and image acquired from Landsat 8 (band5, band 4, band 3) are used. The soft computing algorithms are used to segment the plane-1(Near infra-red spectra) and plane 2(RED spectra). The monochrome of the two segmented images is compared to present performance comparisons of the implemented algorithms.

Swarm Optimization

As sources of conventional energy are alarmingly being depleted, leveraging renewable energy sources, especially wind power, has been increasingly important in the electricity market to meet growing global demands for energy. However, the uncertainty in weather factors can cause large errors in wind power forecasts, raising the cost of power reservation in the power system and significantly impacting ancillary services in the electricity market. In pursuance of a higher accuracy level in wind power forecasting, this paper proposes a double-optimization approach to developing a tool for forecasting wind power generation output in the short term, using two novel models that combine an artificial neural network with the particle swarm optimization algorithm and genetic algorithm. In these models, a first particle swarm optimization algorithm is used to adjust the neural network parameters to improve accuracy. Next, the genetic algorithm or another particle swarm optimization is applied to adjust the parameters of the first particle swarm optimization algorithm to enhance the accuracy of the forecasting results. The models were tested with actual data collected from the Tuy Phong wind power plant in Binh Thuan Province, Vietnam. The testing showed improved accuracy and that this model can be widely implemented at other wind farms.
