Swarm Intelligence - Another curious case of Duck Swarm algorithm & New Google algorithm on Pathway Analysis


Hey guys, Thanks for reading my restarted blog. A lot of views and reads (that also on 31st night.. I must say I have very cool & eager readers.. I hope everyone had a great new year's night..  

Math is everywhere.. A lot of my readers might remember my old orchestration on Ant Colony Optimization, Swarm Intelligence & Quantum-behaved Particle Swarm Optimization algorithm (And a fun hint on How Ant Colony Optimization is used in CyberSecurity with reference to first Avengers movie dialogue - Nick Fury to Loci when he is in the prison- "the touch of the ant and the click" ...

And And And... funnier hint that Marvel might release a movie on Ant-Man etc..


A lot of advances have happened in Swarm Intelligence since then.... 

1. Quantum Particle swarm optimization (PSO), 

2. Firefly algorithm (FA), 

3. Chicken swarm optimization (CSO), 

4. Grey wolf optimizer (GWO), 

5. Sine cosine algorithm (SCA), 

6. Marine-predators algorithm (MPA)

7. Archimedes optimization algorithm (AOA)

8. And Surprise Surprise - Duck Swarm Algorithm 

Please check out 2021 paper - Duck swarm algorithm: a novel swarm intelligence algorithm by Zhang , Wen, Yang - South China University of Technology, Guangzhou 

A couple of simple images from the paper - 



And the Pathway Analysis based on duck swarm - 


By the way, A very very interesting thing happened a few months back. Google came up with their own AI tool on pathway analysis -

The question is would Google use more & more swarm intelligence in their pathway analysis?
