Evolutionary algorithms and their applications to engineering problems
The main focus of this paper is on the family of evolutionary algorithms and their real-life applications. We present the following algorithms: genetic algorithms, genetic programming, differential evolution, evolution strategies, and evolutionary programming. Each technique is presented in the pseudo-code form, which can be used for its easy implementation in any programming language. We present the main properties of each algorithm described in this paper. We also show many state-of-the-art practical applications and modifications of the early evolutionary methods. The open research issues are indicated for the family of evolutionary algorithms.

Flower pollination algorithm: a comprehensive review
Flower pollination algorithm (FPA) is a computational intelligence metaheuristic that takes its metaphor from flowers proliferation role in plants. This paper provides a comprehensive review of all issues related to FPA: biological inspiration, fundamentals, previous studies and comparisons, implementation, variants, hybrids, and applications. Besides, it makes a comparison between FPA and six different metaheuristics such as genetic algorithm, cuckoo search, grasshopper optimization algorithm, and others on solving a constrained engineering optimization problem. The experimental results are statistically analyzed with non-parametric Friedman test which indicates that FPA is superior more than other competitors in solving the given problem.

Optimal Deep Learning LSTM Model for Electric Load Forecasting using Feature Selection and Genetic Algorithm: Comparison with Machine Learning Approaches
Background: With the development of smart grids, accurate electric load forecasting has become increasingly important as it can help power companies in better load scheduling and reduce excessive electricity production. However, developing and selecting accurate time series models is a challenging task as this requires training several different models for selecting the best amongst them along with substantial feature engineering to derive informative features and finding optimal time lags, a commonly used input features for time series models. Methods: Our approach uses machine learning and a long short-term memory (LSTM)-based neural network with various configurations to construct forecasting models for short to medium term aggregate load forecasting. The research solves above mentioned problems by training several linear and non-linear machine learning algorithms and picking the best as baseline, choosing best features using wrapper and embedded feature selection methods and finally using genetic algorithm (GA) to find optimal time lags and number of layers for LSTM model predictive performance optimization. Results: Using France metropolitan’s electricity consumption data as a case study, obtained results show that LSTM based model has shown high accuracy then machine learning model that is optimized with hyperparameter tuning. Using the best features, optimal lags, layers and training various LSTM configurations further improved forecasting accuracy. Conclusions: A LSTM model using only optimally selected time lagged features captured all the characteristics of complex time series and showed decreased Mean Absolute Error (MAE) and Root Mean Square Error (RMSE) for medium to long range forecasting for a wider metropolitan area.

A Hybrid Intrusion Detection Model Using EGA-PSO and Improved Random Forest Method
Due to the rapid growth in IT technology, digital data have increased availability, creating novel security threats that need immediate attention. An intrusion detection system (IDS) is the most promising solution for preventing malicious intrusions and tracing suspicious network behavioral patterns. Machine learning (ML) methods are widely used in IDS. Due to a limited training dataset, an ML-based IDS generates a higher false detection ratio and encounters data imbalance issues. To deal with the data-imbalance issue, this research develops an efficient hybrid network-based IDS model (HNIDS), which is utilized using the enhanced genetic algorithm and particle swarm optimization(EGA-PSO) and improved random forest (IRF) methods. In the initial phase, the proposed HNIDS utilizes hybrid EGA-PSO methods to enhance the minor data samples and thus produce a balanced data set to learn the sample attributes of small samples more accurately. In the proposed HNIDS, a PSO method improves the vector. GA is enhanced by adding a multi-objective function, which selects the best features and achieves improved fitness outcomes to explore the essential features and helps minimize dimensions, enhance the true positive rate (TPR), and lower the false positive rate (FPR). In the next phase, an IRF eliminates the less significant attributes, incorporates a list of decision trees across each iterative process, supervises the classifier’s performance, and prevents overfitting issues. The performance of the proposed method and existing ML methods are tested using the benchmark datasets NSL-KDD. The experimental findings demonstrated that the proposed HNIDS method achieves an accuracy of 98.979% on BCC and 88.149% on MCC for the NSL-KDD dataset, which is far better than the other ML methods i.e., SVM, RF, LR, NB, LDA, and CART.

Hyperparameter Search for Machine Learning Algorithms for Optimizing the Computational Complexity
For machine learning algorithms, fine-tuning hyperparameters is a computational challenge due to the large size of the problem space. An efficient strategy for adjusting hyperparameters can be established with the use of the greedy search and Swarm intelligence algorithms. The Random Search and Grid Search optimization techniques show promise and efficiency for this task. The small population of solutions used at the outset, and the costly goal functions used by these searches, can lead to slow convergence or execution time in some cases. In this research, we propose using the machine learning model known as Support Vector Machine and optimizing it using four distinct algorithms—the Ant Bee Colony Algorithm, the Genetic Algorithm, the Whale Optimization, and the Particle Swarm Optimization—to evaluate the computational cost of SVM after hyper-tuning. Computational complexity comparisons of these optimization algorithms were performed to determine the most effective strategies for hyperparameter tuning. It was found that the Genetic Algorithm had a lower temporal complexity than other algorithms.
