Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO)

The idea of this project is to explore the optimization technique known as Particle Swarm Optimization, initially presented in Particle swarm optimization - 1995 and later improved in A Modified Particle Swarm Optimizer - 1998.

Installation

1. After installing python, create and activate a virtual environment

   > python -m venv <name_of_venv>
   > source <name_of_venv>/bin/activate
   

2. Inside the virtual environment install pip-tools

   > python -m pip install pip-tools
   

3. Compile production dependencies

   > pip-compile --allow-unsafe
   

4. Install dependencies

   > pip-sync
   

Usage

Code used in Guided lecture

1. Check guided.ipynb

Old code

1. Activate virtual environment

   > source <name_of_venv>/bin/activate
   

2. Run pso.py script to optimize Schaffer's F6 function

   > python pso.py
