Gold price forecasting has been a hot issue in economics recently. In this work, wavelet neural network (WNN) combined with a novel artificial bee colony (ABC) algorithm is proposed for this gold price forecasting issue. In this improved algorithm, the conventional roulette selection strategy is discarded. Besides, the convergence statuses in a previous cycle of iteration are fully utilized as feedback messages to manipulate the searching intensity in a subsequent cycle. Experimental results confirm that this new algorithm converges faster than the conventional ABC when tested on some classical benchmark functions and is effective to improve modeling capacity of WNN regarding the gold price forecasting scheme.

In order to ensure “a river of clear water is supplied to Beijing and Tianjin” and improve the water quality prediction accuracy of the Danjiang water source, while avoiding the local optimum and premature maturity of the artificial bee colony algorithm, an improved artificial bee colony algorithm (ABC algorithm) is proposed to optimize the Danjiang water quality prediction model of BP neural network is proposed. This method improves the local and global search capabilities of the ABC algorithm by adding adaptive local search factors and mutation factors, improves the performance of local search, and avoids local optimal conditions. The improved ABC algorithm is used to optimize the weights and thresholds of the BP neural network to establish a water quality grade prediction model. Taking the water quality monitoring data of Danjiang source (Shangzhou section) from 2015 to 2019 as the research object, it is compared with GA-BP, PSO-BP, ABC-BP, and BP models. The research results show that the improved ABC-BP algorithm has the highest prediction accuracy, faster convergence speed, stronger stability, and robustness.

Artificial bee colony (ABC) algorithm invented by Karaboga has been proved to be an efficient technique compared with other biological-inspired algorithms for solving numerical optimization problems. Unfortunately, convergence speed of ABC is slow when working with certain optimization problems and some complex multimodal problems. Aiming at the shortcomings, a hybrid artificial bee colony algorithm is proposed in this paper. In the hybrid ABC, an improved search operator learned from Differential Evolution (DE) is applied to enhance search process, and a not-so-good solutions selection strategy inspired by free search algorithm (FS) is introduced to avoid local optimum. Especially, a reverse selection strategy is also employed to do improvement in onlooker bee phase. In addition, chaotic systems based on the tent map are executed in population initialization and scout bee's phase. The proposed algorithm is conducted on a set of 40 optimization test functions with different mathematical characteristics. The numerical results of the data analysis, statistical analysis, robustness analysis and the comparisons with other state-of-the-art-algorithms demonstrate that the proposed hybrid ABC algorithm provides excellent convergence and global search ability.

Functional Link Neural Network (FLNN) has emerged as an important tool for solving non-linear classification problem and has been successfully applied in many engineering and scientific problems. The FLNN structure is much more modest than ordinary feed forward network like the Multilayer Perceptron (MLP) due to its flat network architecture which employs less tuneable weights for training. However, the standard Backpropagation (BP) learning uses for FLNN training prone to get trap in local minima which affect the FLNN classification performance. To recover the BP-learning drawback, this paper proposes an Artificial Bee Colony (ABC) optimization with modification on bee foraging behaviour (mABC) as an alternative learning scheme for FLNN. This is motivated by good exploration and exploitation capabilities of searching optimal weight parameters exhibit by ABC algorithm. The result of the classification accuracy made by FLNN with mABC (FLNN-mABC) is compared with the original FLNN architecture with standard Backpropagation (BP) (FLNN-BP) and standard ABC algorithm (FLNN-ABC). The FLNN-mABC algorithm provides better learning scheme for the FLNN network with average overall improvement of 4.29% as compared to FLNN-BP and FLNN-ABC.

As a novel swarm intelligence algorithm, artificial bee colony (ABC) algorithm inspired by individual division of labor and information exchange during the process of honey collection has advantage of simple structure, less control parameters, and excellent performance characteristics and can be applied to neural network, parameter optimization, and so on. In order to further improve the exploration ability of ABC, an artificial bee colony algorithm with random location updating (RABC) is proposed in this paper, and the modified search equation takes a random location in swarm as a search center, which can expand the search range of new solution. In addition, the chaos is used to initialize the swarm population, and diversity of initial population is improved. Then, the tournament selection strategy is adopted to maintain the population diversity in the evolutionary process. Through the simulation experiment on a suite of unconstrained benchmark functions, the results show that the proposed algorithm not only has stronger exploration ability but also has better effect on convergence speed and optimization precision, and it can keep good robustness and validity with the increase of dimension.
