The host-seeking behavior of mosquitoes is very interesting. This paper is motivated by the following general observation on mosquito groups and their host-seeking behavior in nature: (1) Mosquitoes’ behavior has possession of the parallelism, openness, local interactivity and self-organization. (2) Mosquito groups seek host very fast. (3) The host-seeking behavior is similar to the producerscrounger process, which assumes that group members search either for “finding” (producer) or for “joining” (scrounger) opportunities. It stimulates us to extend a mosquito system model in nature to group mosquito hostseeking model (GMHSM) and algorithm (GMHSA) for intelligent computing. In this paper, we propose GMHS approach and show how to use it. By GMHSM, the TSP is transformed into the kinematics and dynamics of mosquito groups host-seeking process. The properties of GMHSM and GMHSA, including the correctness, convergence and stability, have been discussed in this paper. The GMHS approach has many advantages in terms of multiple objective optimization, large-scale distributed parallel optimization, effectiveness of problem-solving and suitability for complex environment. Via simulations, we test the GMHS approach and compare it with other state-of-art algorithms.

随着当今世界逐渐从信息化转型为数据化，模式识别和数据挖掘等领域面临越来越大的挑战.爆炸式增大的数据量使得特征选择过程成为大数据模式识别等领域必不可少的环节.受动物界资源争夺行为启发，在由特征选择模型转变为资源分配问题模型中加入个体的资源争夺行为，提出多群体公平算法(multi-colony fairness algorithm, MCFA)对该行为进行评判和处理，用以取得更优的分配方案(即更优特征子集)，其有机融合随机搜索和启发式搜索，且将filter方法和wrapper方法相结合，降低计算量的同时获得更高的分类准确率.对提出的多群体公平算法进行了分析，从理论上证明了算法的收敛性和有效性；UCI机器学习数据库数据集与4种经典特征选择算法:顺序前向搜索算法(sequential forward selection, SFS)、顺序后向搜索算法(sequential backward selection, SBS)、顺序前向浮动搜索算法(sequential floating forward selection, SFFS)、顺序后向浮动搜索算法(sequential floating backward selection, SBFS)和3种主流特征选择算法：相关性-冗余度特征选择算法(relevance-redundancy feature selection, RRFS)、最大相关最小冗余算法(minimal-redundancy-maximal-relevance, mRMR)、ReliefF算法的对比实验表明，提出的多群体公平算法能够有效选择规模和性能都比较好的特征子集.

Due to the dynamic structure in network topology and absence of a centralized administration in management, a specific routing algorithm satisfying the demands of QoS is required indeed in mobile Ad Hoc networks. A novel Social Group Search Optimizer algorithm is pro-posed by improving the GSO algorithm to a dynamic and discrete algorithm through the introducing of social behaviors. SGSO is divided into search and prey parts, where “search” is on duty to find the optimal solution effectively and “prey” is responsible for adjusting the algorithm to the dynamic change of objective functions. Dynamic Coupling Level is used to divide the Ad Hoc network and corresponding approaches and models based on SGSO are applied to routing algorithm, including the decision factor and local routing table. The convergence and correctness of our algorithm are verified mathematically and extensive experiments have been conducted to evaluate the efficiency and effectiveness of the proposed mechanism in mobile Ad Hoc networks. The results show that SGSO improves packet delivery ratio and reduces average end-to-end latency effectively, especially for large-scale and high-dynamicnetworks.

Nature has always been a muse for those who dream in art or science. As it goes, optimization algorithms inspired by nature have been widely used to solve various scientific and engineering problems because of their intelligence and simplicity. As a novel nature‐inspired algorithm, the crystal energy optimizer (CEO) is proposed in this article. The proposed CEO is motivated by the following general observation on lake freezing in nature: the dynamics of crystals have possession of parallelism, openness, local interactivity, and self‐organization. It stimulates us to extend a crystal dynamic model in physics to a generalized crystal energy optimizer for traveling salesman problems, so as to exploit the advantages of crystal dynamic system and to realize the aforementioned purposes. The proposed CEO has these advantages: (1) it has the ability to perform large‐scale distributed parallel optimization; (2) it can converge and avoid local optimum; and (3) it is flexible and easy to adapt to a wide range of optimization problems.
