The application of Evolutionary and Nature Inspired Algorithms in Data Science and Data Analytics (2202.03859v1)

Abstract: In the past 30 years, scientists have searched nature, including animals and insects, and biology in order to discover, understand, and model solutions for solving large-scale science challenges. The study of bionics reveals that how the biological structures, functions found in nature have improved our modern technologies. In this study, we present our discovery of evolutionary and nature-inspired algorithms applications in Data Science and Data Analytics in three main topics of pre-processing, supervised algorithms, and unsupervised algorithms. Among all applications, in this study, we aim to investigate four optimization algorithms that have been performed using the evolutionary and nature-inspired algorithms within data science and analytics. Feature selection optimization in pre-processing section, Hyper-parameter tuning optimization, and knowledge discovery optimization in supervised algorithms, and clustering optimization in the unsupervised algorithms.
