In this article, we explore the theoretical aspects of the nature-inspired optimisation algorithm, Particle Swarm Optimisation, and then apply the algorithm to a simple example in Python, representing it in an animated gif so that we can see how it works.

If you are training a deep learning model with a stochastic gradient descent with backpropagation and cannot escape from the local minima, this article …
