Particle swarm optimization (PSO) is a technique for finding approximate solutions to difficult or impossible numeric optimization problems. In particular, PSO can be used to train a neural network.

Particle swarm optimization is a meta-heuristic rather than a specific algorithm, meaning there are many possible implementations. The movement of a particle is controlled by the particle's velocity ...
