Abstract: The quantum-inspired immune clonal algorithm (QICA) is a rising intelligence algorithm. Based on evolutionary game theory and QICA, a quantum-inspired immune algorithm embedded with evolutionary game (EGQICA) is proposed to solve combination optimization problems. In this paper, we map the quantum antibody’s finding the optimal solution to player’s pursuing maximum utility by choosing strategies in evolutionary games. Replicator dynamics is used to model the behavior of the quantum antibody and the memory mechanism is also introduced in this work. Experimental results indicate that the proposed approach maintains a good diversity and achieves superior performance. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

Abstract: A novel analytic approach is presented to study the population of excitatory and inhibitory spiking neurons in this paper. The evolution in time of the population dynamic equation is determined by a partial differential equation. A new function is proposed to characterize the population of excitatory and inhibitory spiking neurons, which is different from the population density function discussed by most researchers. And a novel evolution equation, which is a nonhomogeneous parabolic type equation, is derived. From this, the stationary solution and the firing rate of the stationary states are given. Last, by the Fourier transform, the time dependent solution is also obtained. This method can be used to analyze the various dynamic behaviors of neuronal populations. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

Abstract: The biological immune system is a highly parallel and distributed adaptive system. The information processing abilities of the immune system provide important insights into the field of computation. Based on immunodominance in the biological immune system and the clonal selection mechanism, a novel data mining method, Immune Dominance Clonal Multiobjective Clustering algorithm (IDCMC), is presented. The algorithm divides an individual population into three sub-populations according to three different measurements, and adopts different evolution and selection strategies for each sub-population. The update of each sub-population, however, is not carried out in isolation. The periodic combination operation of the analysis of the three sub-populations represents considerable advantages in its global search ability. The clustering task is a multiobjective optimization problem, which is more robust with respect to the variety of cluster structures of different datasets than a single-objective clustering algorithm. In addition, the new algorithm can determine the number of clusters automatically, which should identify the most promising clustering solutions in the candidate set. The experimental results, using artificial datasets with different manifold structure and handwritten digit datasets, show that the IDCMC outperforms the PESA-II-based clustering method, the genetic algorithm-based clustering technique and the original K-Means algorithm in solving most of the problems tested.

Abstract: The immune system’s ability to adapt its B cells to new types of antigen is powered by processes known as clonal selection and affinity maturation. When the body is exposed to the same antigen, immune system usually calls for a more rapid and larger response to the antigen, where B cells have the function of negative adjustment. Based on the clonal selection theory and the dynamic process of immune response, two novel artificial immune system algorithms, secondary response clonal programming algorithm (SRCPA) and secondary response clonal multi-objective algorithm (SRCMOA), are presented for solving single and multi-objective optimization problems, respectively. Clonal selection operator (CSO) and secondary response operator (SRO) are the main operators of SRCPA and SRCMOA. Inspired by the clonal selection theory, CSO reproduces individuals and selects their improved maturated progenies after the affinity maturation process. SRO copies certain antibodies to a secondary pool, whose members do not participate in CSO, but these antibodies could be activated by some external stimulations. The update of the secondary pool pays more attention to maintain the population diversity. On the one hand, decimal-string representation makes SRCPA more suitable for solving high-dimensional function optimization problems. Special mutation and recombination methods are adopted in SRCPA to simulate the somatic mutation and receptor editing process. Compared with some existing evolutionary algorithms, such as OGA/Q, IEA, IMCPA, BGA and AEA, SRCPA is shown to be able to solve complex optimization problems, such as high-dimensional function optimizations, with better performance. On the other hand, SRCMOA combines the Pareto-strength based fitness assignment strategy, CSO and SRO to solve multi-objective optimization problems. The performance comparison between SRCMOA, NSGA-II, SPEA, and PAES based on eight well-known test problems shows that SRCMOA has better performance in converging to approximate Pareto-optimal fronts with wide distributions.

Abstract: An immune kernel clustering network (IKCN) is proposed based on the combination of the artificial immune network and the support vector domain description (SVDD) for the unsupervised image segmentation. In the network, a new antibody neighborhood and an adaptive learning coefficient, which is inspired by the long-term memory in cerebral cortices are presented. Starting from IKCN algorithm, we divide the image feature sets into subsets by the antibodies, and then map each subset into a high dimensional feature space by a mercer kernel, where each antibody neighborhood is represented as a support vector hypersphere. The clustering results of the local support vector hyperspheres are combined to yield a global clustering solution by the minimal spanning tree (MST), where a predefined number of clustering is not needed. We compare the proposed methods with two common clustering algorithms for the artificial synthetic data set and several image data sets, including the synthetic texture images and the SAR images, and encouraging experimental results are obtained.

Based on the clonal selection theory and immune memory theory, a novel artificial immune system algorithm, immune memory clonal programming algorithm (IMCPA), is put forward. Using the theorem of Markov chain, it is proved that IMCPA is convergent. Compared with some other evolutionary programming algorithms (like Breeder genetic algorithm), IMCPA is shown to be an evolutionary strategy capable of solving complex machine learning tasks, like high-dimensional function optimization, which maintains the diversity of the population and avoids prematurity to some extent, and has a higher convergence speed.
