Abstract

This commentary concerns two recently developed metaheuristic algorithms, namely the Sooty Tern Optimization Algorithm, and the Tunicate Swarm Algorithm. Both of these algorithms claim computational superiority over other methods based on experimental results on a certain benchmark set. The aim of this note is to aware researchers that this claim is not valid: the proposed algorithms use a zero-bias operator and many of the studied benchmark functions on which they were found superior have optimal solutions located in the zero vector. Moreover, the codes for the methods provided by the authors are not achieving the results reported in the respective publications.
