A stochastic configuration network based on chaotic sparrow search algorithm

摘要

Stochastic configuration network (SCN), as a novel incremental generation model with supervisory mechanism, has an excellent superiority in solving large-scale data regression and classification problems. However, the accuracy of the SCN is affected by the assignation and selection of some network parameters significantly Sparrow search algorithm (SSA) is a new meta-heuristic algorithm that simulates the foraging and anti-predation behavior of sparrow population. In this paper, a stochastic configuration network based on chaotic sparrow search algorithm is first introduced, termed as CSSA-SCN. Firstly, chaotic sparrow search algorithm (CSSA) is designed which mainly utilizes logistic mapping, self-adaptive hyper-parameters, mutation operator to enhance the global optimization capability of SSA; Secondly, as the performance of SCN is related to regularization parameter r and scale factor λ of weights and biases, then CSSA is employed to give better parameters for SCN automatically; Finally, 13 benchmark functions and several datasets are used to evaluate the performance of CSSA and CSSA-SCN respectively. Experimental results demonstrate the feasibility and validity of CSSA-SCN compared with SCN and other contrast algorithms.
