Retracted: Improved artificial bee colony algorithm with opposition‐based learning
IET Image Processing, 2020 The artificial bee colony (ABC) algorithm is a biological‐inspired optimisation algorithm proposed by Karaboga. Since its solution search equation is good at exploration but poor at exploitation, the ABC algorithm converges slowly and is easy to fall ...

Are Two Opposite Points Better Than One?
IEEE Access, 2019 Various opposition-based learning (OBL) strategies were proposed to further improve solution quality since 2005. However, in all existing OBLs, only one opposite point is generated for a given candidate solution in population.
