Abstract

Teaching learning-based optimization is one of the widely accepted metaheuristic algorithms inspired by teaching and learning within classrooms. It has successfully addressed several real-world optimization problems, but it may still be trapped in local optima and may suffer from the problem of premature convergence in the case of solving some challenging optimization problems. To overcome these drawbacks and to achieve an appropriate percentage of exploitation and exploration, this study presents a new modified teaching learning-based optimization algorithm called the fuzzy adaptive teaching learning-based optimization algorithm. The proposed fuzzy adaptive teaching learning-based optimization algorithm uses three measures from the search space, namely, quality measure, diversification measure, and intensification measure. As the 50-50 probabilities for exploitation and exploration in the basic teaching learning-based optimization algorithm may be counterproductive, the Mamdani-type fuzzy inference system of the new algorithm takes these measures as a crisp inputs and generates selection as crisp output to choose either exploitation or exploration based on the current search requirement. This fuzzy-based adaptive selection helps to adequately balance global search or exploration and local search or exploitation operations during the search process as these operations are intrinsically dynamic. The performance of the fuzzy adaptive teaching learning-based optimization is evaluated against other metaheuristic algorithms including basic teaching learning-based optimization on 23 unconstrained global test functions. Moreover, adaptive teaching learning-based optimization is used to search for near-optimal values for the four parameters of the COCOMO II model, which are then tested for validity on a software project of NASA. Analysis and comparison of the obtained results indicate the efficiency and competitiveness of the proposed algorithm in addressing unconstrained continuous optimization tasks.
