Line 1:

A'''Particle swarm optimization''' is a [[problem solving]] technique for solving problems where the answer can be represented as a point in n-dimensional space. Hypotheses are plotted in this space and given a velocity and direction, as well as a communication channel between the particles. Particles[[Particle]]s then "move" through the solution space, and are evaluated for [[fitness]] at each iteration. Particles adjust their velocity and direction towards those particles within its communication grouping which have better fitness values.
