An ant system algorithm for automated trajectory planning [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
The paper presents an Ant System based algorithm to optimally plan multi-gravity assist trajectories. The algorithm is designed to solve planning problems in which there is a strong dependency of one decision one all the previously made decisions. In the

Ants as flower visitors : floral ant-repellence and the impact of ant scent-marks on pollinator behaviour [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
As flower visitors, ants rarely benefit a plant, commonly disrupting pollination by deterring other flower visitors, or stealing nectar. This thesis examines three aspects of ant-flower interactions, focusing on the occurrence of floral traits that ...

Investigating Evaluation Measures in Ant Colony Algorithms for Learning Decision Tree Classifiers [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
Ant-Tree-Miner is a decision tree induction algorithm that is based on the Ant Colony Optimization (ACO) meta- heuristic. Ant-Tree-Miner-M is a recently introduced extension of Ant-Tree-Miner that learns multi-tree classification models.

Web page classification with an ant colony algorithm [PDF]

open access: yes, 2004
This paper utilizes Ant-Miner - the first Ant Colony algorithm for discovering classification rules - in the field of web content mining, and shows that it is more effective than C5.0 in two sets of BBC and Yahoo web pages used in our experiments.

A New Version of the Ant-Miner Algorithm Discovering Unordered Rule Sets [PDF]

open access: yes, 2006
The Ant-Miner algorithm, first proposed by Parpinelli and colleagues, applies an ant colony optimization heuristic to the classification task of data mining to discover an ordered list of classification rules.

A New Ant Colony Algorithm for Multi-Label Classification with Applications in Bioinformatics [PDF]

open access: yes, 2006
The conventional classification task of data mining can be called single-label classification, since there is a single class attribute to be predicted.

Correlation of the Nest Density and the Number of Workers in Bait Traps for Fire Ants (Solenopsis invicta) in Southern China

open access: yesSociobiology, 2014
The relationship between Solenopsis invicta nest density and the number of fire ant workers in bait traps and percentages of traps capturing ants were investigated in the waste land of Wuchuan, Guangdong, South China.
