Learn Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) in 20 minutes

Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) is one of the most well-regarded stochastic, population-based algorithms in the literature of heuristics and metaheuristics. This video covers the most fundamental concepts of this algorithm with a very intuitive analogy. If you are interested to learn more, you can enrol in the following PSO course in Udemy via the following link (clink now and enrol with 90% discount):

What Great content in 6 years ago! Thank you.

Never expected to find such a brilliant explanation in the first search attempt, doing literature review for Truss Optimization using PSO and found it to be extremely helpful. Thanks a lot!

[VivekYadav-dsoz]

I think this is the best video on PSO on YT right now. Perfect mix of exploration of topics and exploitation/depth on each one.

This 20min video was a 2 hour lecture at my university, still this explains it better.

[abdurrouf-sqme]

This video is really out of the world. Too good.

[moeinghafary]

WOW !! it was by far the best video for PSO. tnx

[hilarychisepo]

I'm not in the field of PSO but the teaching in this video is crystal clear and illustrative. Great explanation even to a layman like me!

[pixelpix]

Man you're the best!! I really didn't think I'd be able to finish my optimization homework and didn't think I could learn PSO so quickly but your explanation was so amazing I was really able to learn it by the end of the video and optimize my homework! Thank you SO MUCH!! You're amazing!

[shikharsingh]

this is by far the best video on pso i have came across.

[thomassantini]

The best explaination of PSO i've found yet!

[michaelbyrne]

I've been using PSO since about 2005. Thank you for teaching it and keeping it alive. I still have my copy of "Swarm Intelligence" by Kennedy and Eberhart.

[karthikbalaji]

The instructor does a good job introducing the concept of PSO and explaining the role of each component involved in the base algorithm

[mominabbas]

Best explanation of PSO I have come across so far!

[evergreensongsoftfm]

Professional and easy explanation with examples...we need YT channels like this

[RKN]

this might be the best explanation ever made about this subject. Thank you so much

[nikzen]

The video title was not a lie. Great video!

[syelfiasafitritanjung]

your explanation really easy to understand.. thank you

[Manoj-ofnr]

Amazing video and the best explanation of PSO found on YouTube.
Thanks Ali Mirjalili

[cryovaced]

My goodness! This is by far the best presentation I have come across! Thank you so much!
