Abstract

In this paper we introduce a new approach for automatic parameter configuration of Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) by using features of objective function evaluations for classification. This classification utilizes a decision tree that is trained by using 32 function features. To classify different functions we compute features of the function from observed PSO behavior. These features are an adequate description to compare different objective functions. This approach leads to a trained classifier which gets as input a function and returns a parameter set. Using this parameter set leads to an equal or better optimization process compared to the standard parameter settings of Particle Swarm Optimization on selected test functions.
