Uncertainty Principle based optimization; new metaheuristics frameworkMojtaba Moattari, Mohammad Hassan Moradi, Emad Roshandel
To more flexibly balance between exploration and exploitation, a new meta-heuristic method based on Uncertainty Principle concepts is proposed in this paper. UP is is proved effective in multiple branches of science. In the branch of quantum mechanics, canonically conjugate observables such as position and momentum cannot both be distinctly determined in any quantum state. In the same manner, the branch of Spectral filtering design implies that a nonzero function and its Fourier transform cannot both be sharply localized. After delving into such concepts on Uncertainty Principle and their variations in quantum physics, Fourier analysis, and wavelet design, the proposed framework is described in terms of algorithm and flowchart. Our proposed optimizer's idea is based on an inherent uncertainty in performing local search versus global solution search. A set of compatible metrics for each part of the framework is proposed to derive preferred form of algorithm. Evaluations and comparisons at the end of paper show competency and distinct capability of the algorithm over some of the well-known and recently proposed metaheuristics.

An approach based on Combination of Features for automatic news retrievalMohammad Moradi, Elham Ghanbari, Mehrdad Maeen et al.
Nowadays, according to the increasingly increasing information, the importance of its presentation is also increasing. The internet has become one of the main sources of information for users and their favorite topics. It also provides access to more information. Understanding this information is very important for providing the best set of information resources for users. Content providers now need a precise and efficient way to retrieve news with the least human help. Data mining has led to the emergence of new methods for detecting related and unrelated documents. Although the conceptual relationship between documents may be negligible, it is important to provide useful information and relevant content to users. In this paper, a new approach based on the Combination of Features (CoF) for information retrieval operations is introduced. Along with introducing this new approach, we proposed a dataset by identifying the most commonly used keywords in documents and using the most appropriate documents to help them with the abundance of vocabulary. Then, using the proposed approach, techniques of text categorization, evaluation criteria and ranking algorithms, the data were analyzed and examined. The evaluation results show that using the combination of features approach improves the quality and effects on efficient ranking.

Modified swarm-based metaheuristics enhance Gradient Descent initialization performance: Application for EEG spatial filteringMojtaba Moattari, Mohammad Hassan Moradi, Reza Boostani
Gradient Descent (GD) approximators often fail in the solution space with multiple scales of convexities, i.e., in subspace learning and neural network scenarios. To handle that, one solution is to run GD multiple times from different randomized initial states and select the best solution over all experiments. However, this idea is proved impractical in plenty of cases. Even Swarm-based optimizers like Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) or Imperialistic Competitive Algorithm (ICA), as commonly used GD initializers, have failed to find optimal solutions in some applications. In this paper, Swarm-based optimizers like ICA and PSO are modified by a new optimization framework to improve GD optimization performance. This improvement is for applications with high number of convex localities in multiple scales. Performance of the proposed method is analyzed in a nonlinear subspace filtering objective function over EEG data. The proposed metaheuristic outperforms commonly used baseline optimizers as GD initializers in both the EEG classification accuracy and EEG loss function fitness. The optimizers have been also compared to each other in some of CEC 2014 benchmark functions, where again our method outperforms other algorithms.
