Web page classification with an ant colony algorithm [PDF]

, 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.

Using MaxEnt to Predict the Potential Distribution of the Little Fire Ant (Wasmannia auropunctata) in China

Insects, 2022
Invasive ants are some of the most destructive species in ecosystems and can have serious ecological and socioeconomic impacts. The little fire ant, Wasmannia auropunctata, is native to Central and South America and was listed as one of the 100 most ...

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

, 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.

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

Sociobiology, 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.

Prey Status Affects Paralysis Investment in the Ponerine Ant Harpegnathos venator

Insects, 2021
The paralysis behavior of some ponerine ants when foraging may be important for food storage and colony development. However, how workers invest in paralysis under different prey circumstances is often overlooked.

APPLYING ANT COLONY OPTIMIZATION ALGORITHM TO SOLVE GEAR BOX DESIGN [PDF]

Proceedings on Engineering Sciences, 2022
In this paper, we present the ant colony optimization algorithm (ACO for short), which was used to solve gear box problem design. Biological fundamentals of ACO algorithm, as well as method explanation are presented.

Learning Multi-Tree Classification Models with Ant Colony Optimization [PDF]

, 2014
Ant Colony Optimization (ACO) is a meta-heuristic for solving combinatorial optimization problems, inspired by the behaviour of biological ant colonies. One of the successful applications of ACO is learning classification models (classifiers).
