Title
Application of artificial bee colony algorithm on surface wave data
Abstract
Artificial bee colony (ABC) algorithm is applied to invert surface wave phase velocities. The ABC algorithm, one of swarm intelligence-based algorithms, is inspired from the particular intelligent foraging behavior of a honeybee swarm in nature. To facilitate convergence to an optimal solution, global exploration and local exploitation processes are carried out simultaneously in a robust ABC search process. Using synthetic and observed Rayleigh wave data, we examined the effectiveness and applicability of the ABC scheme in deducing an S-wave velocity profile for near-surface applications. Furthermore, we compared the performance of ABC to those of genetic algorithm (GA) and particle swarm optimization (PSO). We demonstrated that the ABC algorithm outperforms the standard binary-coded GA and the basic PSO, and it can be effectively used to interpret surface wave dispersion data with the great advantage of employing fewer control parameters.
