Ant Colony Optimization for Multi-Label Correlation-based Feature Selection Method

Abstract: This paper proposes a new ant colony optimization for Multi-Label Correlation-Based Feature Selection (ACO-ML-CFS). This ACO performs a global search within the space of candidate features ...

A SoCal beetle that poses as an ant may have answered a key question about evolution

A new study from Caltech explores the remarkable way a SoCal beetle infiltrates the colonies of the ant that runs the show in ...

Integration of Regression-Based Guidance Ant for Enhanced Exploration and Convergence in Ant Colony Optimization (ACO)

Abstract: Traditional Ant Colony Optimization (T-ACO) algorithms often face challenges in dynamic environments, particularly the tendency to become trapped in local minima, resulting in suboptimal ...
