A hybrid bird mating optimizer algorithm with teaching-learning-based optimization for global numerical optimization
Abstract
Bird Mating Optimizer (BMO) is a novel meta-heuristic optimization algorithm inspired by intelligent mating behavior of birds. However, it is still insufficient in convergence of speed and quality of solution. To overcome these drawbacks, this paper proposes a hybrid algorithm (TLBMO), which is established by combining the advantages of Teaching-learning-based optimization (TLBO) and Bird Mating Optimizer (BMO). The performance of TLBMO is evaluated on 23 benchmark functions, and compared with seven state-of-the-art approaches, namely BMO, TLBO, Artificial Bee Bolony (ABC), Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO), Fast Evolution Programming (FEP), Differential Evolution (DE), Group Search Optimization (GSO). Experimental results indicate that the proposed method performs better than other existing algorithms for global numerical optimization.References
