Escaping Bird Search (EBS) is a population-based metaheuristic algorithm for global optimization. Artifical search agents are distingusihed in predator-prey pairs. The algorithm simulates challenging maneuvers between the prey (Escaping Bird) and predator (Attacking Bird) to adapt suitable flights in the search space.
EBS is among the powerful derivative-free, unit-independent and parameter-less optimization algorithms. Two simplified variants of EBS are provided in a MATLAB programming framework. This framework enables better comparison of population-based algorithms by external generation and sharing of identical initial population between the algorithms at each run.
