The enhanced Aquila optimization algorithm (VAIAO) improves swarm intelligence by incorporating velocity-aided global search and adaptive opposition-based learning. This boosts exploration and convergence speed for better optimization performance.
Area of Science:
- Computer Science
- Artificial Intelligence
- Optimization Algorithms
Background:
- The Aquila Optimization (AO) algorithm is a recent swarm intelligence method.
- AO exhibits good performance but suffers from slow late convergence.
- Enhancements are needed to improve AO's efficiency and speed.
Purpose of the Study:
- To propose an enhanced Aquila Optimization algorithm (VAIAO).
- To improve AO's global exploration and convergence speed.
- To address the slow late convergence issue in AO.
Main Methods:
- Introduced a velocity-aided global search mechanism.
- Incorporated an adaptive opposition-based learning strategy.
- Integrated these strategies into the AO framework, creating VAIAO.
Main Results:
- VAIAO demonstrated superior performance compared to AO, IAO, and other algorithms.
- The enhanced global exploration ability and convergence speed were confirmed.
- Successful validation on 27 benchmark functions and 5 engineering problems.
Conclusions:
- The proposed VAIAO effectively enhances the Aquila Optimization algorithm.
- The integrated strategies significantly improve exploration and convergence.
- VAIAO offers a more efficient and robust optimization solution.

Avoidance Learning and Learned Helplessness
Avoidance learning occurs when an organism learns that a specific behavior can prevent an unpleasant outcome. For example, a student who receives a bad grade may start studying harder to avoid future poor grades. This behavior persists even when the negative outcome is no longer present. Avoidance learning is powerful because it maintains behavior in the absence of the...
