We woke up early today because we need to present a conference paper of The 8th International Conference on Swarm Intelligence ( ICSI’2017) at 10:00am.

My breakfast was just simple noodle we bought at one of the Lawson last night.

The 8th International Conference on Swarm Intelligence ( ICSI’2017) at Hakata Hankyu

One of the highlight topic of ICSI’2017 is the technical papers discuss. This is when every one of the papers presenters gets a short 15 minutes to show the essence of their paper as a preview. Here’s some of the interested topics:

A Guide Sign Optimization Problem for an Added Road Based on Bird Mating Optimizer, an optimization model is proposed to solve the guide sign optimization problem in the situation of adding a road.

Teaching-Learning-Feedback-Based Optimization, The historical global best value was recorded (previous teacher) in the optimization processes to help supervise the learners in the new generation in cooperation with the current global best value (current teacher), which is defined as the feedback learning.

Suraj, an indian restaurant in Hakata Hankyu

After Conference, We decided to try this indian restaurant, “Suraj”. We made a good decision because their price is reasonable and it really delicious.

Enkakuji Temple on Gokushomasi

Next destination was Enkakuji Temple on Gion station and Gokushomasi. The journey from Hakata station to Enkakuji Temple Temple only took 14 mins.

Tochoji Temple

Walking down to south from this temple towards Tochoji Temple, you can visit many other temples in all walking distance. Tochoji Temple is located in the Hakata ward of the Fukuoka City in the Fukuoka Prefecture. Fukuoka is part of the Kyushu Region. Tochoji Temple belongs to the Shingon sect of Japanese Buddhism.

Tochoji Temple

I liked this temple because the peaceful atmosphere and beautiful surroundings. The main red pagoda in the temple garden was so beautiful. The big Buddha is on the upper floor but today we missed.

It’s been 3 days in Hakata and we haven’t eaten any YakiNiku! We ate in a small yakiniku restaurant near Canal City.
