This study presents a novel symbiotic adaptive particle swarm optimization (SAPSO) for neuro-fuzzy network design. The proposed SAPSO uses symbiotic evolution and adaptive particle swarm optimization with neighborhood operator (APSO-NO) to improve the performance of the traditional PSO. In APSO-NO, we combine the neighborhood operator and the adaptive particle swarm optimization to tune the particles that are most significant. Simulation results have shown that the proposed SAPSO performs better and requires less computation time than the traditional PSO. (36 refs)
