Enhanced particle swarm optimization for feature selection in SVM-based Alzheimer’s disease diagnosis by Qian Zhang, Jinhua Sheng, Rougang Zhou, Qiao Zhang, Binbing Wang, Rong Zhang

“…In this paper, an enhanced Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) algorithm, which integrates opposition-based Latin squares sampling initialization (OL) with dynamic inertia weights and learning factors (D), termed OLDPSO, is proposed to improve feature selection and classification within a Support Vector Machine (SVM) model for AD diagnosis using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) data. …”

Gene selection based on adaptive neighborhood-preserving multi-objective particle swarm optimization by Sumet Mehta, Fei Han, Muhammad Sohail, Bhekisipho Twala, Asad Ullah, Fasee Ullah, Arfat Ahmad Khan, Qinghua Ling

“…To address these limitations, this study proposes an adaptive neighborhood-preserving multi-objective particle swarm optimization (ANPMOPSO) framework for gene selection. ANPMOPSO introduces four key innovations: (1) a weighted neighborhood-preserving ensemble embedding (WNPEE) technique for dimensionality reduction that retains local structure; (2) Sobol sequence (SS) initialization to enhance population diversity and convergence stability; (3) a differential evolution (DE)-based adaptive velocity update to dynamically balance exploration and exploitation; and (4) a novel ranking strategy that combines Pareto dominance with neighborhood preservation quality to prioritize biologically meaningful gene subsets. …”
