A PSO-GD-based hybrid algorithm for general fuzzy measure determination

Determining fuzzy measure from data is an important topic in some practical applications. Some computing techniques are adopted, such as particle swarm optimization (PSO) and gradient descent algorithm (GD), to identify fuzzy measure. However, there exist some limitations. In this paper, we design a hybrid algorithm called GDPSO, through introducing GD to PSO for the first time. This algorithm has the advantages of GD and PSO, and avoids the disadvantages of them. Theoretical analysis and experimental results verify this, and show that GDPSO is effective and efficient.
