A Hybrid Bioinspired Algorithm for Facial Emotion Recognition Using CSO-GA-PSO-SVM

TL;DR: A bio inspired algorithm in conjunction with the support vector machine (SVM) will find an optimal feature set from a bigger set and is applied over the facial characteristics captured from students in teaching-learning environment to demonstrate its effectiveness and efficiency in real-time scenario.

Multi-ring Particle Swarm Optimization

TL;DR: A novel PSO topology based on multiples rings is proposed for improving the results achieved focusing on the diversity provided by the ring rotations, and results have shown that the proposed topology achieves better results than the well known star and ring topologies.

Evolving Transition Rules for Multi Dimensional Cellular Automata

TL;DR: The genetic algorithm principle is extended to multi dimensional CA, and it is demonstrated how the approach evolves transition rules for the two dimensional case with a von Neumann neighborhood by using the GA to optimize the corresponding rules.
