Salp swarm algorithm (SSA) is a meta-heuristic algorithm proposed in recent years, which shows certain advantages in solving some optimization tasks. However, with the increasing difficulty of solving the problem (e.g. multi-modal, high-dimensional), the convergence accuracy and stability of SSA algorithm decrease. In order to overcome the drawbacks, salp swarm algorithm with crossover scheme and Lévy flight (SSACL) is proposed. The crossover scheme and Lévy flight strategy are used to improve the movement patterns of salp leader and followers, respectively. Experiments have been conducted on various test functions, including unimodal, multimodal, and composite functions. The experimental results indicate that the proposed SSACL algorithm outperforms other advanced algorithms in terms of precision, stability, and efficiency. Furthermore, the Wilcoxon’s rank sum test illustrates the advantages of proposed method in a statistical and meaningful way.

Artificial fish swarm algorithm easily converges to local optimum, especially in solving the global optimization problem of multidimensional and multiextreme value functions. To overcome this drawback, a novel fish swarm algorithm (LFFSA) based on Lévy flight and firefly behavior is proposed. LFFSA incorporates the moving strategy of firefly algorithm into two behavior patterns of fish swarm, i.e., chasing behavior and preying behavior. Furthermore, Lévy flight is introduced into the searching strategy. To limit the search band, nonlinear view and step size based on dynamic parameter are considered. Finally, the proposed algorithm LFFSA is validated with several benchmark problems. Numerical results demonstrate that LFFSA has a better performance in convergence speed and optimization accuracy than the other test algorithms.

To improve convergence speed and search accuracy, this paper proposes an improved quantum-behaved particle swarm optimization algorithm based on Levy flight. The improved algorithm reduces the probability of a local optimal solution through Levy flight and enhances the accuracy of the later search through a postsearch strategy. During the search process, the probability of quantum behavior is retained and the directivity of the particles is strengthened. According to the simulation comparison results, the improved quantum-behaved particle swarm algorithm exhibits faster convergence speed and higher accuracy.

Background: An efficient feature selection method for Histopathological image classification plays an important role to eliminate irrelevant and redundant features. Therefore, this paper proposes a new levy flight salp swarm optimizer based feature selection method. Methods: The proposed levy flight salp swarm optimizer based feature selection method uses the levy flight steps for each follower salp to deviate them from local optima. The best solution returns the relevant and non-redundant features, which are fed to different classifiers for efficient and robust image classification. Results: The efficiency of the proposed levy flight salp swarm optimizer has been verified on 20 benchmark functions. The anticipated scheme beats the other considered meta-heuristic approaches. Furthermore, the anticipated feature selection method has shown better reduction in SURF features than other considered methods and performed well for histopathological image classification. Conclusion: This paper proposes an efficient levy flight salp Swarm Optimizer by modifying the step size of follower salp. The proposed modification reduces the chances of sticking into local optima. Furthermore, levy flight salp Swarm Optimizer has been utilized in the selection of optimum features from SURF features for the histopathological image classification. The simulation results validate that proposed method provides optimal values and high classification performance in comparison to other methods.
