Seminario de Métodos Estadísticos: “Particle Swarm Optimization: fundamentals and extensions to multiple objectives”.- Miércoles 25 de marzo
El miércoles 25 de marzo de 2026 a las 12:00 h tendrá lugar una nueva sesión de los Seminarios de Métodos Estadísticos con Maria Joao Alves (Universidad de Coimbra). Impartirá el seminario de título “Particle Swarm Optimization: fundamentals and extensions to multiple objectives”.
La charla tendrá lugar en el Seminario Rubio de Francia (edificio de Matemáticas, primera planta) de la Facultad de Ciencias, Universidad de Zaragoza. Se puede acceder en directo en https://meet.google.com/rvf-vivn-uyt
Resumen (en inglés):
This talk introduces Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO), a stochastic population-based metaheuristic inspired by the collective behavior of bird flocks and fish schools. It presents the basic principles of PSO, including particle movement, velocity update rules and the roles of cognitive and social components in the search process. Variants such as inertia weight, constriction factor and different communication topologies are briefly discussed, together with their influence on convergence and exploration. The talk also highlights some application areas of PSO and extends the discussion to multiobjective optimization (MOPSO), introducing the main ideas behind MOPSO and the challenges of approximating the Pareto front.
