The package supports benchmark function optimization, regression, binary classification, and multi-class classification with multilayer perceptrons. The package implements several optimization methods, including particle swarm optimization Kennedy and Eberhart (1995) , differential evolution Storn and Price (1997) , grey wolf optimizer Mirjalili et al. (2014) , secretary bird optimization Fu et al. (2024) , and Adam Kingma and Ba (2015) . authors: - family-names: Dilber given-names: Burak email: burakdilber91@gmail.com - family-names: Özdemir given-names: A.
