用机器学习解析粒子群算法的黑箱机制，提升可解释性。

Swarm based optimization algorithms have demonstrated remarkable success in solving complex optimization problems. However, their widespread adoption remains sceptical due to limited transparency in how different algorithmic components influence the overall performance of the algorithm. This work presents a multi-faceted interpretability related investigations of Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO). Through this work, we provide a framework that makes the PSO interpretable and explainable using novel machine learning approach. We first developed a comprehensive landscape characterization framework using Exploratory Landscape Analysis to quantify problem difficulty and identify critical features in the problem that affects the optimization performance of PSO. Secondly, we develop an explainable benchmarking framework for PSO. The work successfully decodes how swarm topologies affect information flow, diversity, and convergence. Through systematic experimentation across 24 benchmark functions in multiple dimensions, we establish practical guidelines for topology selection and parameter configuration. A systematic design of decision tree is developed to identify the decision making inside PSO. These findings uncover the black-box nature of PSO, providing more transparency and interpretability to swarm intelligence systems.
