Salp Swarm Optimization: A critical review

作者:

Highlights:

• Critical analysis of the widely-used salp optimization algorithm (SSO).

• Definition of an amended version of SSO that fixed SSO’s structural bias.

• Extensive experimental phase using the CEC 2017 benchmark suite.

• Results show that SSO does not provide any advantage w.r.t. existing heuristics.

• Metaphor-based approach to design metaheuristics may introduce bias.
