A reinforcement learning brain storm optimization algorithm (BSO) with learning mechanism

作者:

Highlights:

• A reinforcement learning brain storm optimization algorithm (RLBSO) is proposed.

• Four mutation strategies are introduced to increase the ability of global search.

• Q-learning is utilized to guide the algorithm to the appropriate evolution strategy.

• A self-learning strategy is utilized to determine the update method of the individual.

• The RLBSO algorithm is tested on the CEC 2017 benchmark test suite.
