Brain storm optimization (BSO) is a population-based intelligence algorithm for optimization problems, which has attracted researchers' growing attention due to its simplicity and efficiency. An improved BSO, called CIBSO, is presented in this article. First of all, a new grouping method, in which the population is partitioned into chunks according to the fitness and recombined to groups, is developed to balance each group with same quality-level. Afterwards, a new mutation strategy is designed in CIBSO and a learning mechanism is used to adaptively select appropriate strategy. Experiments on the CEC2014 test suite indicate that CIBSO is better or at least competitive performance against the compared BSO variants.
