A Python implementation of Gradient-guided Swarm Optimization algorithm
A Python implementation of the Gradient-guided Swarm Optimization algorithm, designed for solving binary optimization problems. The algorithm uses a mathematically grounded approach combining gradient-based directional guidance with neighborhood learning mechanisms.
pip install gso
from gso import GSO
import numpy as np
def simple_fitness(solution):
"""Example fitness function: maximize sum of elements."""
return np.sum(solution)
GSO.run(
obj_func=simple_fitness,
dim=100,
pop_size=1000,
max_iter=800,
obj_type='max',
neighbour_count=3,
gradient_strength=0.8,
base_learning_rate=0.1
)
To run the test examples (UFLP and DUF problems):
git clone https://github.com/gazioglue/gso.git
cd gso
python examples/solve_uflp.py examples/data/uflp/test_instances/cap71.txt
python examples/solve_dufs.py duf1
For UFLP:
python solve_uflp.py cap71.txt --pop-size 2000 --max-iter 1000 --seed 42
For DUF:
python solve_dufs.py duf2 --dim 200 --pop-size 2000 --seed 42
