LibOPT-old

LibOPT-old is an optimization library developed in C language for the development of meta-heuristic-based applications. Currently, we have the following techniques implemented and tested:

• Particle Swarm Optimization [1]
• Particle Swarm Optimization with Adaptive Inertia Weight [2]
• Bat Algorithm [3]
• Harmony Search []
• Improved Harmony Search []
• Global-best Harmony Search []
• Self-Adaptive Global-best Harmony Search []
• Parameter-Setting-Free Harmony Search []
• Novel Global Harmony Search []
• Firefly Algorithm []

Additionally, the library also implements the following procedures:

• Restricted Boltzmann Machines fine-tuning parameters with Contrastive Divergence, Persistent Contrastive Divergence and Fast Persistent Contrastive Digervence []
• Deep Belief Networks fine-tuning parameters with Contrastive Divergence, Persistent Contrastive Divergence and Fast Persistent Contrastive Digervence []
• Deep Boltzmann Machines fine-tuning parameters with Contrastive Divergence []
• Feature selection []
