    Hybrid parliamentary optimization and big bang-big crunch algorithm for global optimization

    Kiziloluk, Soner; Özer, Ahmet Bedri

    Researchers have developed different metaheuristic algorithms to solve various optimization problems. The efficiency of a metaheuristic algorithm depends on the balance between exploration and exploitation. This paper presents the hybrid parliamentary optimization and big bang-big crunch (HPO-BBBC) algorithm, which is a combination of the parliamentary optimization algorithm (POA) and the big bang-big crunch (BB-BC) optimization algorithm. The intragroup competition phase of the POA is a process that searches for potential points in the search space, thereby providing an exploration mechanism. By contrast, the BB-BC algorithm has an effective exploitation mechanism. In the proposed method, steps of the BB-BC algorithm are added to the intragroup competition phase of the POA in order to improve the exploitation capabilities of the POA. Thus, the proposed method achieves a good balance between exploration and exploitation. The performance of the HPO-BBBC algorithm was tested using well-known mathematical test functions and compared with that of the POA, the BB-BC algorithm, and some other metaheuristics, namely the genetic algorithm, multiverse optimizer, crow search algorithm, dragonfly algorithm, and moth-flame optimization algorithm. The HPO-BBBC algorithm was found to achieve better optimization performance and a higher convergence speed than the above-mentioned algorithms on most benchmark problems.

    Web Pages Classification with Parliamentary Optimization Algorithm

    Kiziloluk, Soner; Ozer, Ahmet Bedri

    In recent years, data on the Internet has grown exponentially, attaining enormous dimensions. This situation makes it difficult to obtain useful information from such data. Web mining is the process of using data mining techniques such as association rules, classification, clustering, and statistics to discover and extract information from Web documents. Optimization algorithms play an important role in such techniques. In this work, the parliamentary optimization algorithm (POA), which is one of the latest social-based metaheuristic algorithms, has been adopted for Web page classification. Two different data sets (Course and Student) were selected for experimental evaluation, and HTML tags were used as features. The data sets were tested using different classification algorithms implemented in WEKA, and the results were compared with those of the POA. The POA was found to yield promising results compared to the other algorithms. This study is the first to propose the POA for effective Web page classification.
