==Introduction== | |||
Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) is inspired by nature and groups or swarms of natural creatures. It uses multiple “particles” distributed across a solution space to slowly converge upon a global, optimized solution. This algorithm does not require calculation of the function’s gradient or slope, instead using simple weights and the contribution of the rest of the swarm to provide a “fitness” value | |||

This algorithm does not leverage formal methodology or mathematical rigor to identify an ideal point but instead uses a heuristic approach to explore a wide range of starting locations and conditions. These features allow the PSO algorithm to efficiently optimize complex functions. | |||
The biological analogy for a PSO algorithm is a flock of birds, a school of fish, or a colony of ants trying to find a food resource. Each animal, or particle, is an independent entity that is conducting its own search routine for an optimal result. However, the particles will also be influenced and guided by motions of the larger swarm. The results any particle has already seen, as well as the influence of the larger swarm helps all the particles converge to an optimal solution. | |||
In a more technical dissection, a PSO algorithm must be initially set-up with how many particles and iterations the user wants to use. More particles improve the convergence likelihood and help ensure the global optimum can be found due to a more complete search at the cost of computing resources required. The PSO algorithm allows a user to set different “weights”, step sizes, and speeds for the particles to control how influenced each particle is by its past points (cognitive) and by the other nearby points (social) in the swarm and how large of steps will be taken. These weights allow algorithm adjustment to tailor the performance and computational requirements. | |||

==Algorithm Discussion== | |||
The structure of the algorithm is simple. The algorithm seeks to find an optimum of an objective function, f(x). A set of particles, X with members x X , forming a swarm, is initialized randomly. The algorithm runs for a number of iterations. At each iteration, for each particle in the swarm, each particle’s position is updated to be x i+1, p = xi, p + vi, p. Subscript i indicates the iteration of the algorithm. Subscript p indicates the index of the particle in the swarm. Both the optimal solution for a particular particle, xbest, p, and a global optimum, xbest, g are tracked. f(xbest, p) is the best solution to the objective function that a particular particle, p, has experienced over all iterations. f(xbest, g ) is the best solution to the objective function for all particles, at all iterations. The algorithm is halted when either a fixed number of iterations is reached or a stopping criteria is reached. A typical stopping criteria is when the change between iterations is below a user-set threshold, demonstrating that the particles are not moving from the identified solution point. The algorithm’s control flow is shown in the following flow chart. | |||
Figure 1: Algorithm Flow Chart | |||
A velocity, vi, p is independently computed for each particle xi,p. The velocity is the result of the sum of the preceding velocity, a cognitive component and a social component. The cognitive component is rand() *wc* (xbest, p - xi, d) and pulls the solution towards the best point observed by this particle. The social component is rand() *ws* (xbest, g - xi, d) and pulls the solution towards the best point observed across the entire swarm. Each of the social component and cognitive component are weighed by a factor. The state that must be tracked across loop iterations is; xi,p, xbest, p, vi, p for each particle and xbest, g. | |||
The convergence of the algorithm can be checked a few different ways. The original papers were based on training neural networks, so the optimization was halted when the neural network was sufficiently able to make predictions | |||

This approach is flawed because the designer of the algorithm used a priori knowledge of how good the neural network will perform. More generally, this approach incorporates application specific logic to stop when the optimal solution is good enough. Alternatively, the algorithm can be terminated following a predetermined number of iterations. Another approach is to stop when the solution's improvement at a given iteration stops | |||
<ref> MathWorks (2024) Particle Swarm Options, https://www.mathworks.com/help/gads/particle-swarm-options.html </ref>. | |||
The pseudocode for the PSO algorithm attempting to minimize a solution follows. The algorithm can be modified to search for a maximum by changing the initialization of xbest, p and xbest, galong with their updates. | |||
SWARM is initialized randomly | |||
vparticle initialized to 0 | |||
xbest, p initialized | |||
xbest, g initialized to | |||
For i in MAX_ITERATIONS: | |||
For particle in SWARM: | |||
cognitive := rand() *wc * (xbest, p- Xid) | |||
social := rand() *ws* (xbest, g - Xid) | |||
vparticle = vparticle + cognitive + social | |||
xi+1 = xi + vi | |||
if f(xi+1) < f(xbest, p) | |||
xbest, p= xi+1 | |||
if f(xi+1) < f(Pig ) | |||
xbest, g= xi+1 | |||
PRINT “Local optimal at xbest, g” | |||
Figure 2: Algorithm Pseudocode | |||
The algorithm has a few hyper-parameters including; number of particles in the swarm, weights of the cognitive update on the velocity, weights on the social update on the velocity. The Pymoo Python implementation suggests a swarm size of 25, velocity weight of 0.8, a social update weight of 2.0 and a cognitive update of 2.0 | |||
<ref> Blank, Justin (2024) Multi-Objective Optimization in Python, https://pymoo.org/algorithms/soo/pso.html</ref>. | |||
Practitioners will need to adjust parameters and determine how their problem reacts to modifications of the hyper-parameters. Heuristics may be used to adjust the various weights between iterations of the algorithm. Algorithms that adjust the hyper parameters based on heuristics are called Adaptive Particle Swarm Optimization (APSO) | |||

PSO makes very few assumptions. The algorithm can be trivially adopted to work with real, integer or mixed functions. The algorithm does not rely on gradients or hessians, so there are no assumptions or requirements on the function being continuous or differentiable. However, the lack of assumptions comes at a cost, there is no proof that the algorithm will find an optimal solution. One of the original papers by Kennedy in 1997 | |||
<ref name=Kennedy2 /> | |||
indicated a tendency for the optimization to get stuck in local minimum. Adjustment of the algorithm’s hyper-parameters is a performance vs robustness trade that may have avoided sticking in a local optimum. | |||
==Numerical Example== | |||
This section will walk through a numerical example of solving a complex objective function using Particle Swarm Optimization. | |||

*The algorithm is highly sensitive to c1 and c2. Recommend referencing the search space and using 1/30 to 1/60 of the total range. Ex: target search range is -3 to 3 by -3 to 3, use a value 0.1 to 0.2 to prevent “overshooting” and oscillations of the individual particles. | |||
===Step 3: Define Stopping Criteria === | |||
For this example we are choosing a set number of iterations (t): | |||

It is important to note that there are alternative stopping criteria such as checking for convergence of the particles - such as a minimum delta between points or using a Confidence Interval on the X and Y coordinates as your threshold. This could lead to more, or less, iterations depending upon what threshold is used. Care should be taken to ensure the stopping criteria can actually be met.

==Applications== | |||

PSO was originally used to train neural networks (NN)<ref name=kennedy1/>. Neural networks frequently have highly non-linear loss functions and it is therefore difficult to find a global optimum. | |||
[21]. | |||
Several papers have noted an improvement in NN accuracy using PSO optimization when compared to back-propagation due to the ability to avoid local optimum | |||
[26]. | |||
However, the current state of the current practice for training deep neural networks remains the back-propagation algorithm. Back-propagation is more efficient in the context of neural networks because for each particle at each iteration, there will need to be an error function computation. For example, a swarm size of 25 requires 25 times more error function evaluations | |||
[31]. | |||
In addition to identifying weights in the Neural Networks (training), PSO has been used in selecting hyper-parameters for neural networks. In these applications PSO is used to maximize the neural network’s accuracy by varying parameters including number of nodes and structure of the networks | |||
[28]. | |||
PSO fits this application well because this function is nonlinear and the gradient is non-continuous. Hyper parameters for NNs may be real, integer or binary values. | |||
PSO is most often compared to other heuristic based algorithms such as; genetic algorithms differential evolution simulated annealing. One study for a bus scheduling application did find the PSO was better than genetic algorithms with respect to the optimality of solution and run-time | |||

The results in the paper are difficult to generalize, as results will be sensitive to the application as well as the algorithm’s hyper-parameters. The recommended choice of heuristic optimization algorithms remains up to the practitioner’s judgement. | |||

==Conclusions== | |||
The PSO algorithm is a heuristic based optimization algorithm. The heuristics are loosely based on the behavior of a flock of seagulls. The algorithm’s strengths are in its simplicity, lack of reliance on a gradient, and robustness against getting stuck in local optimum. The drawback is that the “swarm” requires a large number of function evaluations, making the algorithm slow. Additionally, the algorithm has no guarantee of convergence.

The algorithm is halted when either a fixed number of iterations is reached or a stopping criteria is reached. A typical stopping criteria is when the change between iterations is below a user-set threshold, demonstrating that the particles are not moving from the identified solution point. The algorithm’s control flow is shown in the following flow chart.

The algorithm has a few hyper-parameters including; number of particles in the swarm, weights of the cognitive update on the velocity, weights on the social update on the velocity. The Pymoo Python implementation suggests a swarm size of 25, velocity weight of 0.8, a social update weight of 2.0 and a cognitive update of 2.0 [12].
