An enhanced binary Rat Swarm Optimizer based on local-best concepts of PSO and collaborative crossover operators for feature selection by Abu Zitar, Raed

“…In this paper, a recent swarm intelligence metaheuristic method called RSO which is inspired by the social and hunting behavior of a group of rats is enhanced and explored for FS problems. The binary enhanced RSO is built based on three successive modifications: i) an S-shape transfer function is used to develop binary RSO algorithms; ii) the local search paradigm of particle swarm optimization is used with the iterative loop of RSO to boost its local exploitation; iii) three crossover mechanisms are used and controlled by a switch probability to improve the diversity. …”

A Hybrid Approach for Predicting Critical Machining Conditions in Titanium Alloy Slot Milling Using Feature Selection and Binary Whale Optimization Algorithm by Amirsajjad Rahmani (17541453)

“…In this study, features were extracted from signals in time, frequency, and time–frequency domains. The t-test and the binary whale optimization algorithm (BWOA) were applied to choose the best features and train the support vector machine (SVM) model with validation and training data. …”
