# DNN-Guided Particle Swarm Optimization

## Overview

A hybrid optimization framework combining Deep Neural Networks with Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) for tracking global optimal positions in complex dynamic environments. The DNN serves as a surrogate model predicting fitness landscapes, guiding particle placement toward promising regions and significantly accelerating convergence while maintaining the ability to track moving optima.

## Core Concepts

### Key Innovation

Traditional PSO limitations addressed:
1. **Premature convergence** to local optima in complex landscapes
2. **Poor tracking** of moving optima in dynamic environments
3. **Inefficient sampling** in high-dimensional spaces

DNN-guided PSO solutions:
1. Train DNN surrogate on evaluated points to predict fitness landscape
2. Use DNN predictions plus uncertainty to guide particle placement
3. Periodically re-evaluate to update surrogate model
4. Balance exploration (DNN uncertainty) and exploitation (DNN prediction)

### Implementation

```python
import numpy as np
import torch
import torch.nn as nn

class DNNSurrogate(nn.Module):
    """DNN surrogate for fitness landscape prediction."""
    
    def __init__(self, input_dim, hidden_dims=[64, 64]):
        super().__init__()
        layers = []
        prev = input_dim
        for h in hidden_dims:
            layers.extend([nn.Linear(prev, h), nn.ReLU(), nn.Dropout(0.1)])
            prev = h
        layers.append(nn.Linear(prev, 2))  # mean + variance
        self.network = nn.Sequential(*layers)
    
    def forward(self, x):
        out = self.network(x)
        return out[:, 0], out[:, 1].exp()


class DNNGuidedPSO:
    def __init__(self, n_particles, dim, bounds, w=0.7, c1=1.5, c2=1.5):
        self.n = n_particles
        self.dim = dim
        self.bounds = bounds
        self.w, self.c1, self.c2 = w, c1, c2
        self.positions = np.random.uniform(*bounds, (n_particles, dim))
        self.velocities = np.zeros_like(self.positions)
        self.pbest_pos = self.positions.copy()
        self.pbest_fit = np.full(n_particles, np.inf)
        self.gbest_pos = None
        self.gbest_fit = np.inf
        self.surrogate = DNNSurrogate(dim)
        self.history = {'x': [], 'y': []}
    
    def step(self, fitness_fn):
        fitness = np.array([fitness_fn(p) for p in self.positions])
        self.history['x'].extend(self.positions.tolist())
        self.history['y'].extend(fitness.tolist())
        
        # Update bests
        improved = fitness < self.pbest_fit
        self.pbest_fit[improved] = fitness[improved]
        self.pbest_pos[improved] = self.positions[improved]
        
        best_idx = np.argmin(self.pbest_fit)
        if self.pbest_fit[best_idx] < self.gbest_fit:
            self.gbest_fit = self.pbest_fit[best_idx]
            self.gbest_pos = self.pbest_pos[best_idx].copy()
        
        # DNN-guided exploration
        if len(self.history['x']) > 20:
            self._train_surrogate()
        
        # PSO velocity update
        r1, r2 = np.random.random((2, self.n, self.dim))
        self.velocities = (self.w * self.velocities 
                         + self.c1 * r1 * (self.pbest_pos - self.positions)
                         + self.c2 * r2 * (self.gbest_pos - self.positions))
        
        self.positions = np.clip(self.positions + self.velocities, *self.bounds)
        return self.gbest_fit
